Title: GH100L
Post by: Woogie on March 23, 2007, 04:24:28 PM
Hello.

Is a Laney GH100L w/ MXR Zakk OD, Boss CH-5, Boss DD-6 and Dunlop wah good for tones such as Velvet Revolver, Ozzy (Randy,Jake,Zakk), Sabbath, AC/DC, Zep etc?

A GH100L has come up but I have no way of trying one.

Is Ģ265 a good price?

Cheers

Oh yea, which output tubes would you guys recommend?

If you want a marshally type of sound I'd go with EL34's. If you want a tighter low end, more lower mids and a less 'hairy' distortion then I'd go with 6L6's (I use these in my Laney VH100R).

You cannot pass up this opportunity though, that is cheaper than my Gh50l.

If you don't buy it, tell me and I will.

Aslong as I can get Velvet Revolver, Jake E Lee and Zakk tones to Zep and ACDC, its mine!

I`ll see how it goes.

_Tom_ gets a good Slash-y sound out of his GH50L with Mules, I used my GH50L in my AC/DC band so it does Angus and I'm pretty sure the Jake, Zakk and Jimmy tones are in there too.  The GH series has been described as similar to a JCM800 Marshall, so I don't think you'll go wrong given the tones you're after.

Buy it and enjoy it!  I miss my GH50L...

I would of bought yours at the drop of a hat!

I`d rather a 50watter so I can crank it easier. Also, buying from a trusted member is always better.

Do you think I`ve got the right stompboxes I mentioned earlier? For the tones I`m looking for. I`ll be running a Holy diver and 2 x slowhands in my Jake Blueburst Strat made by Bob Johnson when it arrives.

I was thinking about running a Framus 2x12 and then getting another in the future sometime.

Cheers

I reckon the amp/cab/stomps will be great.  Getting Slash tones out of a strat might be a bit of a challenge though.  Isn't the new Holydiver a ceramic pickup too?  It'll be fine for Zakk stuff but Slash's sweeter tones will be harder to get.

I think you'll get in the rough area of those tones, but have something different and unique to you.  Is that what you're after?

Oh, and the 50w vs 100w thing.  I always thought I was a 50w man.  Turns out I prefer 100w heads...

Holydivers now have Alnico magnets, the older ones have Ceramic. The ceramic holy divers work very well for the Jake and Zakk tones.

Especially the Jake E Lee tones, i was playing Bark At The Moon today on my Ibanez with ceramic HD and it nailed it!

I have an epi les paul custom atm.

I am hoping to get another Les Paul from Bob in a few months. I can always put a Miracle Man or Nailbomb in that. The VR tones aren't as important to me as the Ozzy and AC/DC tones.

Cheers

Post by: Twinfan on March 24, 2007, 10:52:53 AM
For Ozzy and 'DC in a Les Paul I think you'll want Mr Versatile - The Mule.  With the GH it'll sound great.

Just ask _Tom_, or search for some of his clips  :D

So, you using a GH100L now?
Title: GH100L
Post by: Woogie on March 24, 2007, 11:44:23 AM
Also, are the silver face ones better or black?
Title: GH100L
Post by: Twinfan on March 24, 2007, 12:11:14 PM
I'm using old Laney Klipp heads now, they're probably vintage or something  ;)  They're early seventies and I love the tone of them.

I think all the GH series have silver front panels?
Title: GH100L
Post by: Woogie on March 24, 2007, 12:38:04 PM
Some have black.

Post by: Woogie on March 25, 2007, 07:27:30 PM
What other choices are there?

Do you guys think a Marshall DSL would be more suitable for me?

Thats what I thought aswell.

I know the GH100L has been described as similar to a JCM800 but can it get good JCM tones out of it?

Cheers

edit: Is this a good representation of the amps sounds? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwzwNknA-HA

Also do you think this http://www.thomann.de/gb/tc_electronic_g_sharp_set_2.htm would be good for effects and be good quality?

I'm not sure about that YouTube clip.  Me and _Tom_ tried to get s similar sound but I don't think we could.  Tom got closer than I did though if I recall.  Might be worth asking him his opinion.
