Nah, the Koch has really good cleans and distortions, so a pedal is kinda useless. Unless you're speaking effect pedals of course

Damn it. Now I'm searching for a decent guitar amp with good cleans and great distortion, but it's hard to find...
I actually played the Koch studiotone yesterday, and I was really disappointed. The highs are way too dominant and painful (don't try sliding your fingers over the neck if you still want to hear) and there's waaay too little bass in it.
I hope I can try some Laney around here. I also tried the Line 6/bogner tube-amp, but it sounded too digital

Laney are great amp makers. I have a GH100L head and couldn't be happier with it. Sounds wicked with the right effects pedals aswell.
edit; Byron. Notice we have the same post count... for now. haha!

I have a Laney TF300 tube combo myself. I've had it 6 years now and wouldn't change anything about it. I'll eventually get around to buying a cab for it but i have no need for one atm as i get a lot of low end out of it as it is.
Effects wise i run a Boss GT8 through the effects loop.
I'd be very surprised if you can't get any Laneys over there as they are British made.

Yeah I think the Mesa Boogie Triple Rectifier would be the perfect amp for me, but it's too expensive to buy now, so I'm looking for a temporary (a few years?) but decent replacement till I get there...
Till now every amp I tried had pretty good cleans, but the distortions were too "boxy" or just f'd up, so I'm kinda looking for something bright, but with tight bass. My eye is fixed on Laney at the moment.

You don't need a Triple Rec. 150 watts is overkill. The single 50 is all you need really. Breaks up quicker too.
Broken sentence day!
Fact is you'll never need all that headroom, and just so you know there isn't much of a loudness difference. Unless you plan on playing outdoors for a big crowd with absolutely no sound system then a 150 is just plan overkill. Hell Jimmy Page only used 50 watt heads, and he's rocked the biggest stages around.

Epic!!!
I don't post on these forums that often. I joined up for the Opeth forum back in the day but then noticed that it's full of tards. I much prefer this forum.
Anyway back on topic!

Oh now I see the Watts is the only difference between the dual and triple.
In that case I'd go for the dual rectifier. 150 watts is sooo ridiculous.
Or is there also a version with even less watts? I'd be glad to save money on the watts

hmm, that would now be the 6505. Yeah I'll put it on my list...
When I've got the money I'll go to some big store where they have them all and I can compare

small tube amp you can crank for recording
half stack for large concerts
for most venues you wont need more than 50 watt combo or head
hope this helps
