haze015 Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Has anyone had any experience with a Laney AOR or a Sovtek Mig? I can find them quite cheaply and I just need to know which has more clean headroom. Sounds pretty stupid to be looking at those amps for clean sounds, I know. the sovtek would win that hands down. don't know why you picked out a sovtek specifically, it's based on old marshall designs, which do clean for days, especially if you bridge the channels, but from what i've seen, they'll go for more than a marshall because people cottoned to migs being cheaper than marshalls, unless you're buying a '68 all original plexi, that simply ain't true anymore.

james90 Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Having owned both of those amps It depends which kind. You have the non master mig 50 (jtm 45 style i suppose..plenty of headroom) and the mig 60 and 100 (master volume, much less head room) forget the AORs for clean headroom a question from me now. what shall i get to boost my super lead? i'm thinking an EQ pedal of some kind, so I can get it exactly how I want, rather than just boosting the highs etc. my DOD EQ broke, so I'm without one now...I need a good solid EQ. volume isn't a problem at this point. this is the old marshall without the master volume - hence the need to boost it...i think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunnerthekiwi Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 I'm going to be playing Creep by Radiohead at my school's music evening with some friends so I need a distortion pedal. I use an Epiphone Valve Junior all tube amplifier by the way. I'm looking for a pedal that is: *Versatile - This'll be my first stompbox so I don't want it to be a one trick pony. I'm looking for a pedal that can put out a variety of quality distorted tones from overdriven to fairly heavy (I'm not generally a fan of metal however). *Reasonably priced - As in no more than a Big Muff. I'm not loaded. Anyone got any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samcoma Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Marshall Shredmaster Ebay it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunnerthekiwi Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 I wish Finding a Shredmaster in New Zealand would be more of a battle than climbing Mount Everest And I'm not too keen on the idea of getting one shipped from overseas. Edit: Has anyone tried a Marshall GV-2 Plus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gunnerthekiwi Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 OK, I've seen good comments on them around that's all. Maybe a Proco Rat or a modded DS-1 then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brinstar Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 ok my problem: I need a delay pedal. i got me's a behringer echo machine, pretty good but the stupid thing didn't work after two go's. I'm pretty much looking for something that is cheap/ish and cheerful and does the job. i'm looking at the marshall echohead, and also at the artec adl-2. i do want some variations in the delays i can choose from, as i've seen some demos of the marshall echohead and i love the tape echo on it. i'm mainly looking for that long, ethereal, filtered delay, kind of like the ones Bellamy used to use around 2001/2002. that sparkly sound, tis on the Hullabaloo DVD a lot. but I cannot afford a DL-4, and the Echo Park (and it's knockoff the Echo Machine)'s sweep echos are pretty poor (i've tried both and brought them each, then sold them) really im just looking for a nice delay that adds more ambience, not cutting digital delays. cheers.

Xut Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 Hey I have a question: At this moment i have: Boss ME-20 (Use for Mod. and Delay/Reverb) Fuzz Factory Know I want to buy these at the end off my vacation. I will be able to spend 170 euros. And I'm thinking of buying these to expand my distortions: Turbo Rat Big Muff (USA) for about 155 euros. I know for myself that I will be going to use the Turbo Rat for heavy Distortions mostly (Might try to get a sound suitable for SS) But about the Big Muff I'm not sure, it sounds cool, but I don't know if I would be using it much. Any songs from Muse I could use it for? Cause I don't know if I want to buy either a Big Muff or something completely the other way: a light distortion for "not so hard" rock Should I just buy those? or does anyone else know a nice tweakable distortion for about 70 euros?

Guest bshuker Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Righto guys, any recommendations for some earplugs? Looking for attenuation from them mostly, preferably some that aren't too noticeable, comfortable, with some sort of bag/case to keep them in. Not looking for expensive moulded ones, just around £10-30 or so. ANY HELP WUD B GREAT CHRZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_man361 Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 i forget the name, but i picked up a pair of plastic ones that were moulded, but not to my ears... they were seethrough plastic and were very comfortable, provided good attenuation too. they also didnt just chop off the high end.
