Screamer by name, Screamer by nature
« on: September 20, 2005, 07:11:20 PM »
Well, it arrived lunchtime and past the first test, an initial plug in lasted almost an hour and felt like 5 mins :D
Very, very impressed.Build quality is good, layout is simple and relevant, most importantly................my god, I can get so many tones from this little brute and it's loud as hell.Spent another hour really digging into all the tones and have yet to find a bad one.............even everything flat out is useable(yes, I know :roll: but I just had to do it :lol: ).
It does a great clean.....warm, dynamic and easy to dial in.OD is excellent, more gain than a distorted hairdryer and all points in beteween and the look is pure Rammstein.
I can see why it's found favour with the metal boys but it does do so much more.Full marks so far, I'll let you know how it performs over time.
I'll have it at Music Live if anyone fancies a blast.

sorry, but could people please stop talking about things I want to buy?
It was on my list of maybes, then crossed off, now is creeping back on. I'll have some money in about a fortnight, you can start talking again then! :lol:

joking, of course! It sounds like a great little amp, I'll have to go and check these out sometime soon...

It really is a nice amp. The distorted channels on it are amazingly clear, no matter how much gain you throw on. The reverb on impressed me too, as did the clean channels.

Tom, I'll keep him talking at Music Live, you stick it in your pocket..oh sorry Tim, didn't realise you were watching. Hey, slightly off topic, would it be good if we forum members could get to music live for a group hug- I shall have to work on Mrs 38th to get time off. I am supposed to be in Barcelona around that time though :roll:

I've only been able to find one clip of the Screamer on the net. Please do the second one, Tim!

Cheers

Definately but my studio is in bits at the moment so it'll have to wait until I visit HJM I'm afraid :(
Mind you it's so loud, I'm sure if I crank it right up again you'll hear it from here :lol:
