Witz Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 those start at just under $3000 from the looks of things. they really don't sound that good to me Doesn't sound much better than my line 6 DT25, I always think Kempers are a lot of money but they are in an a different league to my amp so I can see or hear even where the money is going but I'm really not sure about this thing:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaicen Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 I have one of those! Mine sounds a lot fatter than the wh4. Plus level control is a nice bonus. Shame the bypass is still shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboMansonMB-1 Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Yeah, I've got a single channel bypass looper ready for it haha.

Yeah the kaoss really destroys the sound. any bypass looper will do - there might be some cheaper than the LS-2, which seems a bit unnecessary with all the other functions. Might be a good question for Jim (or rust_relic ) I had a look at that page the other day, the one thing I had a problem with was the image at the very bottom.

Dominic. Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Looking to get a case for Kemper and stuff. On a site for some reason they have a shockmount 6U case £30 cheaper than a 4U one so I guess I may as well go for that. Is it worth getting a shockmount case or would a normal one do? Ain't no-one harming my Kemper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave. Posted July 20, 2015 Author Share Posted July 20, 2015 I saw a Lexicon MX200 for sale nearby for €150 and I seriously tempted to get it seeing as my amp is rackmounted and I'll be buying a rack head for it soon. The only issue is finding a way to control it. I was thinking of a MIDI footswitch but I'm new to the whole world of that. I just want to be able to move through patches and I'd like a space efficient option. Anyone have any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schaller is the only one that does cosmo/black chrome strap locks as far as I know, and even those are difficult to find Guessing you prefer dunlops?

Jaicen Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Guessed right. I have some Schaller ones for the Delorean rep, but only because it's a detail of the original. I much prefer the low profile dunlops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I much prefer the low profile dunlops. Dunlops are low profile? I much prefer the schallers, for both looks and design. I have a few of those fender strap blocks as well - not the same as strap locks obviously, but if they're good enough for royal blood... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaicen Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Went ack today and got some Loxx. They look pretty cool, but might still get some Schaller ones :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macaroon Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Okay chaps. Has anyone tried out the Marshall AVT50X? I may have an opportunity to buy one from a friend but not sure if it would be worth shelling out some more for a better one if it's a bit average. Anyone had experience?

james90 Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Went ack today and got some Loxx. They look pretty cool, but might still get some Schaller ones :| Any good? I only really trust the schaller ones, but I've never tried those. I don't even have strap locks on half of mine, so I usually end up using those strap blocks. There are other ways to source those as I'm sure you're aware... Actually, those are cheaper too... Fender charges $5 for two of the washers, and that doesn't include anything else.

Jaicen Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 I haven't installed them yet, but they look nice, and don't ruin the look. They have ball ends instead of strap buttons, which is cool and makes them less bulky. Nice comparison shots on the loxx website. The dujlops are not as small though still preferable to schallers. Macaroon: the avt50 is a fairly average solid state amp. They have issues with stress cracking of the power supply capacitors, see if it crackles at high volumes. Easy fix though. Unless it's really cheap I'd skip it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
