ultraman Posted January 1, 2004 Report Share Posted January 1, 2004 So i finally got it !!! After discussing my buy with some people on this forum and testing it out myself, i decided it was fit for me. I found another one for a little cheaper in another shop while i was hunting... It sounds great!!! The clean channel is just beautiful and has a crunch setting which makes it sound really bluesy. The distortion on the other hand, isnt the best like some people have pointed out to me.But it doesnt matter too much because i have a boss me-50 multi effects board. It came with a solid footswitch which even can control the reverb unlike the newer models.I just love it.Its loaded with a 12 inch celestion speaker and not a marshall heritage.It cost me 500$ with the footswitch.( 50$ less than in my local shop!) i love it! Theres one problem i came across with this amp. Have a look Here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ultraman Posted January 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2004 nice mine has a 3 months guarantee how much is it to change a valve? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weezerboy Posted January 1, 2004 Report Share Posted January 1, 2004 valves in the UK valves in the US it doesn't cost a lot , valves are pretty cheap really, and as your amp is a valvestate theres less valves to replace edit: whoah..did i just make a useful post to something?

daveq Posted January 5, 2004 Report Share Posted January 5, 2004 Just curious, what amps have you used (int it's class) that have a better distortion channel? I have two EQ's and some other effects running through my valestate and absolutely love the dist. channel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
