Hi guys!
Today I bought my first tube amp. I decided on a Peavey Ultra Plus
(http://reviews.harmony-central.com/reviews/Guitar+Amp/product/Peavey/Ultra+Plus/10/1)
only the head. I got it cheap and it was in excellent condition. Looks almost new.
Since I've only played guitar for about one year I don't know much about cab, speakers and stuff like that. I am hoping someone here could give me some hints on what cab to buy. I borrowed an old Carvin 4x12 of a friend just to hear the head and play around with it. I was stunned, I really like the sound coming out even if the cab is old and don't have "metal" speakers like V30.
I have ordered a high-gain retube kit from Eurotubes and those are coming next week. So, I got a week to think about what cab to buy. The sound aka tone I'm looking for is like Marshall meets Mesa and it actually sounds a bit like it already... I'll put in EQ in the loop as well so I can dial in more specific tones. If anyone have any suggestions I would be very happy to know!
I will be playing some Slayer, new Metallica and BLS and well my own songs
Thanks,
Jonas
