Title: hahahaaaa its soooooooooo good..
Post by: sambo on September 07, 2006, 10:20:28 PM: ok for £250... i swear i jsut robbed this guy...

the clean... one word : PHENOMENAL!

since when do you get clean this good on an amp this cheap? its insane...

distortion is pretty good... not ideal though... i think ill invest in a pedal soon enough...

but soooooooooo happy with it...

Post by: hunter on September 07, 2006, 11:16:47 PM: Very happy for you Sambo!

Sure you'll find the drive sound you need. With really good cleans, it's the perfect basis for an MI Audio Crunch Box or sth :)

Enjoy the new toy !!!!!!!

Well I played it with my funk band, so it was a nice slightly rough clean sound and with the muff it just sang through the solos.

I kept turning round and stroking the amp, and proclaming my love for it during every quiet bit.

Title: hahahaaaa its soooooooooo good..
Post by: badgermark on September 10, 2006, 02:28:47 PM: already got a new amp. A nice lil 15W Vox Cambridge is enough for me.
Title: hahahaaaa its soooooooooo good..
Post by: Johnny Mac on September 11, 2006, 06:22:24 PM: Nice one Sambo! You sound a happy man!

:D
Title: hahahaaaa its soooooooooo good..
Post by: sambo on September 11, 2006, 06:45:33 PM: sure am! :D

ahh cool mark, never heard of them. what they sound like?
Title: hahahaaaa its soooooooooo good..
Post by: badgermark on September 12, 2006, 12:12:52 PM: It's a good lil amp, not made anymore though. It's a tube/SS hybrid, with built in tremolo. I'm happy, though thats easily done with a cheap decent amp (I'm mostly an acoustic player these days anyway)
