james90 Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 I don't know yet - will find out in the next few hours when everyone else is awake, but I figure nothing gear related. (unless it's cash that can be converted into gear) I did buy something for myself, which I'll post shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic. Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 My dad just text me saying they were all watching me on YouTube, including the Sunburn video Fuk ye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozo Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 So there are three different ones? I could only find the AC4TV and AC4C1 And yeah. It doesn't sound too bad in that video - certainly no worse than any other attenuator. Oh and have you looked at the Marshall 1 watt amps? I don't know if those are still around, but they seemed cool... a bit overpriced though Yep, here is the HW : http://www.voxamps.com/handwired/ac4hw1/ But it's about £600, too expensive for a 4W amp I'll only use in my apartment. Same for the Marshall JMP1H (+ the cab...). Merry Xmas btw ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Marshalls are available as combos though, so they might be worth looking into http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uC5Li_PKdAs and merry christmas edit: just realized that's plugged into a 4x12 Here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GzOtggvFyY That's the one I'd get anyway. They have the DSL1, JVM1, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dominic. Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Got a £150 Amazon voucher. It's sorta sad when you see it all go on little stuff like plectrums, cables, strings and so on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musophyle Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Did anyone here has an Egnater amp ? I'm looking for a new amp (i've a Peavey Bandit 112 D:). These look pretty cool but haven't got the chance to test one of them, just want to know your opinions ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic. Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 So I got an Amazon voucher and am struggling to think of what to spend it on first world problems and all that any little gear recommendations? At the moment got a bunch of strings and plectrums and jack and xlr cables in my basket. About £100 worth. How depressing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could probably get a pretty decent one for around £100, depending on what it is.

That and a 414 would be a sweet combo EDIT: Actually, anyone else got any guitar mic recommendations?

Dominic. Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Ah right, fair enough. That and a 414 would be a sweet combo Certainly wouldn't be bad. Gotta retube Hayden first though bla effort. And buy a footswitch for it. Actually will get that with amazon voucher Can use any footswitch really for changing channels on an amp right?

Dominic.

I'm a bit reluctant to try/actually buy tubes in the first place Ahhh shit yeah, didn't think of inputs. If you wanna use both at the same time then I guess a couple of 57s will do the trick. Now I've got this V67 (which is totally bling btw, green and gold..), I'm gonna try using my 58 up close to the grill and then using the V67 as a room mic. Could sound pretty good http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JuJaCVldFq0 Just gotta be careful with electricz obviously Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I'll need too if I want to record Hayden and Blackstar both running together I like how the sennheiser MD 421 sounds with the SM57. Also, do your amps have a preamp out and power amp in on the back? I've been trying to blend another amp with my JVM, and apparently it's possible to do that before it even goes into the cabinet. It seems to only require running the line out of the first amp into the power amp input of the second amp, and using an A/B box to switch between the amps (or use both) I'll try to make a video explaining it once I've got my head around it, but it's not quite the same as running two amps completely separate. I think this is considered slaving. Still requires a speaker to be hooked up on both amps anyway. Oh and as for re-tubing, it's USUALLY the higher power amps that need re-biasing. Most amps below 30 watts don't need any adjusting, but not always Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic. Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Both Hayden and Blackstar do. Like, the Blackstar at the moment when I get new XLR leads, gonna be mic'ing and running DI out into some cab simulator in Pro Tools. So two blackstars! Hayden's pretty much the same Gonna buy an A/B-Y box with the amazon voucher to use whichever amp individually or the same time. You don't have a stereo cab do you? And yay for having amps higher than 30 watts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yay for having amps higher than 30 watts Hmm I'd check this slaving method out. It basically runs one amp separately through one cab, and the other amp blended with the first amp through another cab. I'm mainly doing it because there are these phasing issues when switching modes on the JVM channels. And yeah I do. I usually just use another smaller cab (1x12) when I'm running more than one amp though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
