I've heard a Screamer being used live. Good sound but I think it needs an extra speaker cab to get the maximum out of it.

tim, did you listen to the powerball clips on rocksolidamps?

especially the BLS one .. KILLER tone

I was very lucky, I got an extremely good deal from my friend Dave at Oxford Guitar Gallery so I'm pleased about that.
Live I'll still use my JCM800s as that's me tone really, I just wanted a specific high gain amp for p/up testing along side my Marshalls, also something for the trade fairs too.
I'm really looking forward to it. 8)
I used to tour Mesa's years ago but since going back to Marshall some years ago I've found it hard to deal with their weird mid range, also I had quite a few reliability issues too so this time I fancied a change!

I've been thinking about trying a Powerball, my JMP-1 sometimes sounds too clean if you can believe that, especially with the Les Paul.

I'll let you know how I get on.

Cheers Tim.

Had a tweak again with my settings last night and the pups sound great, the neck pup has tone to die for, I must get my warranty card off to you :oops:

Tim, if you dont like it, I'll take it off your hands for £100 and a Curly Wurly :lol:

Could even throw in a Chomp or a Freddo frog if you like

Actually, if you do want to get rid of it in the new year, give me a bell.

Andy!

Hey Tim an all the BKP dude's

used to own a poweball, Tim will know my taste in music, but will do anything fron fenderish cleans to classic rock to in-your-face metal chugging and has a great solo tone!

Guess I never should have sold it! BooHoo

Maybe I should get meself another Screamer head an 2by12, see as I'm sellin my Soldano now!

Want that instead Tim? sorry no trades!
