Why not buy both amps, and give the one you like the least to me?

Yep, I knew that. I don't even like using effects. I think for the most part of my playing guitar, I've only had 1 pedal, and thats a distortion. I'm gonna try both of them this weekend so we'll just see. IMO a "useless" pedal. If you have an amp with good distortion in it's own. The only useful effects as I see it are EQ, Delay and Wah. If an amp lacks reverb that would be a good pedal too. And if it lacks descent distortion, sure, a dist pedal. But if that's the case I'd say you've got the wrong amp. None of the amps you've been looking at lack distortion so I belive you're on the right track. Getting an amp is a "picky" business, takes an enormous emount of time to find the right one. But really, in the long run I don't think it' matters that much. Now I have a H&K Switchblade and I'm very happy with it. But if I had a Marshall JVM I'd surely be happy with that too being able to key in the sounds I'd want. I think one will alsways find ways no matter the amp you've got but it's great to feel "I choose the right one for me". Good luck with it whichever you choose! -------------------- My bands homepage
