From the above I voted Marshall, but I would love to get an MTS from Carvin. I said it a thousand times already here, they are so underrated (the MTS, I don't like the Legacy too much) it's not funny. For the price of a Marshall head you can get a halfstack and if you get them on sale a full stack. Just give me the Marshall free 1/2 and I will sell it to get a Carvin.
Better start saving to see if I can get me even the MTS Combo by the time I get back!

No, just why are they not on the list? I would thinkg if this were a poll on ice cream flavors it would include double-chocolate fudge-swirl, peach-pecan and chunky-cherry yogurt. No, probly not the yogurt.

[quote name='bowser' date='Jun 11 2005, 08:53 PM']What kind of sound will a Laney get?  I did see that they were quite reasonable on the bay, but I don't know if they have as much gain as I would want, or the tone.

A Laney is somewhat of a cross between a Boogie and a Marshall. More gain than the Marshall with more bottom end too. If you are looking for insane gain then get a Laney "AOR" series. I have the 100 watt version. Very loud. The clean channel is very nice too. Kinda Fenderish.

NO amp has the gain i am looking for...i just chase down a SERIOUSLY hot amp,then add my own gain pedal to it(metal zone...ever since my zoom driver broke)and tweak until happy...i get a real "fear factory" kind of sound out of it....

right now my hot amp is a mode 4...i play it through the jcm 800 side....sparkling clean setting,then i add my stompbox

Why Don't Anyone think outside the box! Everyone thinks of typical brands such as Fender and Mesa!

Even though I quite like the Mesa Nomad 55 (Out of Production),

For use live and gigs I would use a "Gabriel Grand 18 Combo/Head" and

For practice at home etc I would use the "Torres Tiny Tone" Amp - Sweet Sound, Low Volume! (Won't Disturb Flat Neighbours in Hong Kong)
Some sounds of the Tiny Tone:

I *THINK* I voted for Mesa... I can't actually remember. I did actually want something else... and I'm about to get it :D. I have a Trainwreck Climax kit and two Fane alnico 10's on the way from Kendrick Amplifiers as we speak. They're calling it the "New Joy Zee Kit" now since the Climax was a limited run, but it's the same electronically.
