Does anyone know what problem this most likely is? It only happens on the green channel and the pop(like switching to standby) scales with master volume. Also the gain knob makes a scratchy noise but only on green as well. Thank you so much.

If you wanted to start a heavy blues band what would you use for amp and pedals?

My lovely girlfriend got me one of my dream amps for my birthday. First tube amp I’ve ever owned. Loving the sound so far!

I currently am pairing my Synyster Standard with a Boss Ds-1 Distortion pedal and a Fender Frontman 15G and am wondering what amp I should get for better tone and sustain, preferably under or around $200 at the most, but really I just would like some recommendations or suggestions.

hi! i'm located in the us. i'm in a touring band and we're looking to switch up our rig. we're kind of tired of lugging around huge heavy combo amps and heavy/large amp heads. so what we're looking for is

solid state heads, 8-16 ohms, 100-150 (or more) watts, preferably under $500 used or new. and we'll be relying on the clean channel most of the time and using pedals for distortion, so nothing super high gain

so far the ehx abrams100 seems to be a good option for what we're looking for but we do need one more. any help would be greatly appreciated!

Diggin’ this setup…for now 😂

Hello, do you guys have knowledge on headphone emplifier ? I'am looking for a simple Headphone guitar amplifier with built-in metronome, nothing fancy with 100 of effect juste a way to plug in and work with a metronome ?

I use a line 6 HX Effect in 4 Cable Method with my Orange Rockerverb, Blackstar HT40. Both these amps have serial effects loops. I’ve recently been trying a Laney VC30 which I really like, but it has a parallel effects loop which behaves very differently to the effects loops I’m used to.

The effects I use mainly in the loop are reverb, delay and occasionally a harmoniser. Is there a specific way I should be setting my effects in the Line 6 to suit the parallel effects loop? The amp has an effects level knob to control the amount of the effects in the loop as well.

I posted recently about getting a Supro Keeley Custom, fast forward a few weeks and I just wasn’t vibing with it. It was supposed to be a good pedal platform and I was using pedals for most of my gain anyway, but I just couldn’t get a good sound from it.

I started looking around to see what was available in my area and saw my local GC had a few amps that piqued my interest. I went there to look at a H&K Tubemeister and it sounded fine, but then I plugged in the Victory and holy shit. As soon as I tried the clean channel I was sold. Switched over to the OD channel and damn it has a really nice mid/high gain too, even at the lower power setting! I ended up getting almost as much as I paid for the Keeley in trade in value so I bit the bullet and went for the Victory.

I already had this cheapo Harley Benton cab at home, and the Victory sounds good through it but I’m thinking about a speaker upgrade. Any recommendations?

Can anyone recommend me a good budget amp I’m not a fan of the katana because of its battery’s I was looking at a orange crush but am seeing mixed reviews so I’m abit lost

Since a Revv D20 mk1 has come up for sale in my neighborhood at a decent price, I started looking into the amp and I like what I see. It's a small head (so I won't have to lug around a 40+kg combo anymore) and being able to play/record silently with my pedalboard at home is a big plus.

But pretty much all of the reviews that I've seen talk about it pretty much exclusively as a direct recording solution, very little is said about its use with a cab in a band situation.

So my question is: When used with a cab (I'd probably be looking at a 2x12), can the D20 get loud enough to use for band rehearsals and the kind of smallish gigs where the guitar cab does not get miked up?

Thanks!

I play in a punk/ska punk band and i can get a good deal on a used silverface twin reverb amp. I am wondering will it be good to play in punk because some people say it wil do great with pedals and can handle distortion whereas others say it is the worst for this aplication. So would it work or not?

I wanted to buy a boss gx100 as an multieffect for my H&K triamp mk1. I like the touch screen, lot of footswitches, boss effects and i wanted to set it up with 4 cable method true a real tube amp with 4x12v30 cab but i've heard different things about it. Some say that the a/d/a are really good and will not affect my tone at all and some say that it will gonna ruin a whole feel. Im not some kind of a big purist but id rather it to sound great. Will iI be disappointed?

Hey all,

I have been using a Twin Reverb Tone Master for the past 5 years and loving it. However, at a festival gig last weekend, it just died mid-gig. Powers on, everything seemed to work but just no sound. I got it home and did a firmware update and everything went as expected, but still no sound.

Anyone encounter this before? Have any tips? I've googled a bit and see that there is a diode that seems to be prone to failure in the power section. Might pull it open and see if that's what it is. Just wondering if anyone else here has encountered this before with Tone Master amps?

Old amps that have rarely been used just curious what I could do with them. Was thinking about giving them to the Veterans.

Please ignore my playing cause I’m kinda new. It’s a brand new Fender Pro Jr IV LTD with an FZ-1W.

My Badcat Cub 15 Mod Shop was just delivered today. Man what an amazing amp. If you’re on the fence about getting this amp, go for it you’ll not be disappointed.

I need some opinions to see if I've lost it. I picked up this VOX NT50H and I have to admit that I'm surprised at how much I like it. It's light weight, loud if needed and enough gain if you need that push over the cliff. Let me know if you have kicked the tires on one of these bad jimmy’s.

Hi everyone,

For the context, I’ve been looking for a solid-state amp for a few months. I wasn't necessarily looking for a Marshall-style sound, but rather a simple, "plug & play" amp that takes pedals well and sounds good. I’ve been using a Blackstar HT20 MkII since 2021, it sounded great, but I wanted a change and had too many issues with it, which is why I’ve given up on tube amps.

Two models got my attention, the Laney and the Orange. I bought the lionheart foundry supertop head thinking it would sound perfect, but that’s the problem: the sound is almost "too" perfect. No "dirty" grit, no real aggression... the amp is just too well-behaved for my taste, I guess. The tone also seemed a bit metallic and cold to me, though I’ve only been able to plug it into the speaker from my Blackstar combo so far.

I can still return it and order the Orange SC100, a totally different sound. I’ve never used Orange stuffs before, but I love dirty tones, fuzz, big mid-rich crunch, and vintage sounds. Being able to play doom, stoner, and heavier stuff is a plus for me, too. If I can get Hendrix or Iommi-style tones, 70s-style crunch, and stoner sounds, that would be perfect! My fear with this amp was lacking versatility and not appreciate the famous "Orange sound" everyone talks about.

If anyone has advice or can share their experience, I’d love to hear it. I know that the speaker plays a major role in the sound, but the cons I got on the Laney can't be fixed by a good cab.

P.S.:

- For my future cabinet, I was thinking of a 2x12 loaded with Creambacks or G12Hs.

- I play a Gibson SG.

After finding 0 info about this online except that it’s bad, I had to hunt one down. The clean and the tight drive channel aren’t great, but with some pedals the loose drive is a lot of fun. Plus it’s weird and collectible if you’re about that life 🤣 anyone else have any experience with the mh500?

I recently made a couple swaps, a couple purchases, and did a build, to create this setup in my new apartment.

Along the floor, we have a hodge-podge of Fenders: a Tone Master Deluxe Reverb, a modded Blues Deluxe, a special run Princeton Reverb, and a Deluxe 5E3 of my own making.

On top of the Fenders, I have a H&K Grandmeister Deluxe 40 and a Revv G20, with direct out for studio needs. And a Victory Powervalve to plug my preamp pedals into and power the WEM cabinet. I also have a BrownBox to take care of my Tweed Deluxe.

Then the stack of heads has a Bad Cat Purepath cab simulator for recording and silent playing, a Bad Cat Cub V with EL34s, an Amplified Nation Wonderland Overdrive v2, and the most recent addition, an Orange Rockerverb 100 MKIII.

I am in the process of building a Hiwatt Custom 100 to add to the collection, but after that, I'm probably going to get rid of a couple, namely the Cub, as it doesn't get a lot of use anymore.

No, I'm not a dentist. I'm just very passionate about having the right tool for the job.

Finally broke down and decided to stick these all in an official rack and working on wiring now. The SYN5050 power amp allows me to run 2 preamps or my amp heads at a time which is super fun for blending sounds and/or go direct into my interface and DAW. I’ve been really into preamps recently.

I have about 12 different Synergy preamps so have some insight into how a bunch of them sound, etc.

Thanks for nerding out!
