Amp information

[Jaen]

I didn't read anything about the amp, but rather I was facinated by a naked centaur woman avatar.

zomgggggg

hmmm, that is rather interesting indeed

Yeah, Randall has good stuff. Solid state though, but it still sounds bad ass.

In college, I had a buddy with a Randall half stack in his dorm room. It sounded freakin' awesome. He was a buddy of Dimebag (then Diamond Darrell) from the D/FW area and he told some good stories.

Does anybody know anything about the Line 6 HD147 head? It's probably my best bet as far as bang for buck goes. I'm actually quite loyal to the simplicity and practicality of Line 6 since all this talk about other amps seems so complicated. Anyways, the HD147 is basically an in-between from Spider and Vetta and it's fucking 300 watts. Cheap too, compared to Mesa or Vettas. Also, if you don't mind I'd like to hear more about your Flextone J-Dub.

I bought one of these... It's an awesome amp and it sounds almost identical to my guitarist's Dual Rec... i think the difference is just in the cab though... anyway... I stand by this amp, despite being a tube lover...

Might buy this, I'm gonna go try it out tomorrow.
Any feedback is appreciated, like amp info, wether the price is fair, if it's good or bad, experiences with this amp, etc.

For you lazy bastards:

Yeah, I'm pretty much sold on Line 6. Thanks JDub!

I got a Line 6 Flextone 2 half stack and sold most my pedals and gave the remaining 2 to the girlfriend. Same one as JDub has, it's great.

Brandon: That's the head I have and I fucking love it for the price... as for the cabinet though, I found the Marshall 1960A cab to be a HUGE improvement over the AVT cab. The store I tried them out at had an AVT full stack setup, and it sounded pretty pansy compared to the 1960's... but the head is quality.

So my recommendation is AVT150H + 1960A 4x12

To give you an idea of price, about 4 or 5 years ago when I bought it, I paid 700USD for the Head and 600 USD for the cabinet. No taxes (NH ftw)

NO NO NO

NO

NONONO

dont buy this amp, both guitarists in my old band used them, no matter how much you fiddle with the knobs the distortion sounds shoddy at best. the avt cabs are a fucking joke, your best off spending a little more and getting a 1936 2x12 if your looking at a marshall cab, and as for the head, its just so shit i cant explain it in words.

Wow, that doesn't narrow anything down

 

[Mantis Warrior]

dude Engl rocks, and so do a lot of tube amp co.s but for a budget price, the AVT150H is a pretty good deal. I don't know what anacrucix is on about.

 

[anacrucix]

kenneth, the day you get a better amp, you'll understand. that amp has scored thousands of shit reviews, and thats not by chance.

 

[Kenneth R.]

Oh cute, acting as if I'd never played any other amp, ever. Real patronizing, and not at all accurate. Good job

Out of curiosity, what's your "good" budget amp?

well you are defending a simply shocking amp, i wouldn't buy a budget amp, i'd save up for an extra couple of months and get something that does real damage. and no i wasnt trying to patronise you, you were just talking like this was your main amp.

 

[DoomsdayZach]

Uhhhh... i think it is.

 

[Kenneth R.]

It is and once again, you never answered my question buddy anacrucix. I do prefer people with no nonsense and no bullshit, but then we are partying in NY so I'll extend this one time. You either know amps or you don't. Don't avoid the question like that and act like a tool. Good budget amp? Don't be touchin'

I didnt avoid the question, i don't think there is such thing as a good budget amp, if your gonna spend that little money, buy a small tube, even then though, the sound isnt going to compare to a decent amp.

 

[Kenneth R.]

Yep you avoided the question. What in your opinion is worth saving for? I just can't take you seriously.

well if you could go two months without buying barbies and makeup, you could get yourself a JCM DSL and 1936 2x12 or the 1960 4x12

You guys don't get it, a guy I know is selling the half stack for 900$ Canadian, that's like 750$ US. If I were to save up to get something better I'd be paying 2500-3000$ for the half stack.

 

[Kenneth R.]

guys? come on brandon, there's only one dipshit who doesn't get it here and it's not me

Buy it from this dude but I'm advising ya to resell that cab and get the other one. anacrucix I advise you to buy midol.
