QUOTE (eaglesnh4 @ Feb 21 2010, 01:05 PM)  why would an amp like this not be good enough? http://dawsons.co.uk/acatalog/marshall_mg102fx.html That's a solid state amp with built in effects. There's really nothing wrong with that amp, or the Vox VT100, or any other decent amp for that matter. Some of us here suggested a valve amp, but truth is your tone will be more in your fingers than anywhere else, I highly suggest you take a trip to a big guitar shop and try out as many cheap and expensive solid state and valve amps as you can, and hear them yourself. Maybe try to find some sound samples/youtube reviews, although the sound through your computer speakers will never be like hearing the real thing. Oh, I'd like to add: A guy I know who played and sang in a band (proffessionally) for over 15 years has recently purchased that VoxVT for rehearsals with his friends and he is really happy with it. Makes it sound so great that I don't mind if it's a vox or a peavey, solid state or valve, it just sounds good  They play rock/pop

QUOTE (ZakkWylde @ Feb 21 2010, 03:09 PM) Yeah that's the criteria to choose an amp: looks -.- Nobody would play orange amps if they were thinking like that!  I would. I think they are just beautiful. No kidding  -------------------- My bands homepage

QUOTE (eaglesnh4 @ Feb 21 2010, 03:30 PM) do you like your me70. Yes, I told you in some of my other posts. At home I play with stomps and tube amp, but when I travel it's really convenient, I just take the Me-70 and a guitar, and I'm set. I can connect it to 2.1 speakers/Hi-Fi/Headphones, and use the modelling too. I tried it the other day with my tube amp (turning off the ME-70s amp modelling, leaving just the effects), and much to my surprise it sounds great too. With my eyes closed I couldn't honestly tell the difference between its chorus and delays from my boss/vox stomps. Even the distortions sounded really good. Then again I play at home, maybe at higher volumes it shows its weaknesses. -------------------- Guitars:

It's good for rock, might work for blues too. Falls short for meta in my opinionl. Here's a mini review I wrote recently:
https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/wiki/inde...tor_Mini_Review You seem to change your mind really fast, you better take a trip to a guitar shop and try lots of stuff yourself. Whatever we tell you in the boards are just our opinions, and everyones music taste is different! -------------------- Guitars:

I was going to recommend the Peavey Classic 30 or Delta Blues, very loud, very nice, very well built, but are you still on a budget? These are great amps, But they are around $600USD in price. If you check the Harmony Central reviews people generally love these amps. I know I love my DB. You can plug in a second cab later and drown out the drummer.

QUOTE (ZakkWylde @ Feb 21 2010, 02:07 AM) Theoretically you *might* need those pedals for Rock and blues: -Overdrive -Delay -Reverb -Wah -Volume -Tuner -Noisegate -Chorus ... The list goes on and on because it is up to the player what Pedals they need and don't need. Some of the greatest Legends of Music don't use any effects at all!!! You obviously don't know which effects you like and which you won't ever need so it's no use to buy effects that others think you will need! With the boss Me70 you will have almost any effect there is and expression pedal which can be used as a wah, whammy or volume pedal. You can use the Me70 to experiment and find the effects you like and need and the ones you don't really need. Sure, individual Pedals sound better but it's not that the ME70 sounds bad - it just doesn't sound as good as a pedal built for one effect. If you have played a couple of years and/or have experimented with a MultiFX you will find the effects that you like and then you can start buying individual pedals. If you start with some random pedals now without further experience (like I did) you will end up with some effects that you like and some that you don't like and which you won't use often... I had a whammy, an Equalizer, a digital Delay and several distortions and I never used and wasted a lot of money that way! excellent suggestion! -------------------- Visit my:

For your budget you have several options, but I would definitely recommend ValveKing + some basic pedals.
Get yourself a Boss tuner, volume booster, chorus or delay, depending what you will use. Usually rhythm players don't use that much of delay pedal, but they use chorus. Wah is a good investment but I'm not sure if you use it that much. In the end, you are the one who has to buy it, so it may be wise to actually go into store and tryout all these effects. You will have much more clearer sense on what you want and what not that way. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE
