I've been looking into it A LOT recently and might be getting one. Only problem is I need to be able to switch channels (need one clean and one distortion) and as far as I've understood things that's not possible right? Well yes there's the switch on the amp but I mean through using a footswitch? Would and A/B box do the trick? I also use a lot of effects so if anyone has an opinion onf the loop on it please share.. It'd be great to here what people think about this amp. Other similar sounding amps? Suggestions,comments, anything. Just give it here! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Have you tried it on an amp yourself or are you just saying it would work "in theory"? I've heard of a lot of people saying they have done the A/B thing and it is great. On top of that, I'd buy a real Ibanez Tubescreamer and then crank the gain on both the amp and the pedal for an over the top tone. I'd just go ahead and buy it.

Yeah I own a couple of distortion pedals (Keeley Mod BD-2 for example) but I still enjoy having nice amp distortion available. Well will see what happens.

A/B pedal is not used for that, rather having two different guitars plugged in the same amp and switching between them...or having one guitar and two amps and switching between...that sort of work.

It does have 2 inputs for 2 channels(Top Boost & Normal) and A/B box would do the trick here, A for Normal,B for Boost and A+B fro blending both of them.

But I think the Vox classic they sell today, made in china, wasn't all that great compared to the classic plus But that's me.. I'd still go for a classic Ac-30 with the Keeley tubescreamer though, awesome combo You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Nov 16 2008, 05:14 PM	GMC:er Posts: 207 Joined: 30-January 08	Well since Ivan pushed me into more wuestioning here's a silly one. If I get an ABY-box for it. Wouldn't it be possible to us it for switching between channels 1, 2 and blend? Correct me if I'm wrong. speaking of Keeleys. What Tubescreamers have you guys tried? There's a bloody lot to choose from. I also kinda like the SD-1 (the keeley off course) so give me your opinions if you have any... And yeah. For you guys that have tried one. An Ac30 that is. Has it been the combo or head? (not that it's usually a huge difference, but still). I'm currently leaning towards buying the custom classic head. Will probably do it after christmas since all the prices go waaaaaaaay up nowadays. And thanks again lads. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
