You'd need more like 50 watts to compete in a band I'd have thought.

I bought one today. Through my 1x12 G12k-100 I can get some amazing tones out of this thing, It loves drop C so it's a doom machine at the moment :lol:. I'm gonna try it with my 2x12 tomorrow and see what goodness that brings.
Boosting it with my Bad monkey make it sound even better.

when you boost it, I demand a sound clip!

It seems the HT5 virus is spreading.

It sounds sweet boosted, I finish college early tomorrow so I'll try chuck some clips up. It's so fat for a 5watt.

tried one today, there was no combo but they had the head setup with a valveking 4x12 (I think) played it with some active emgs since my plan was to boost it with a tubescreamer anyway, it did some nice metal chugging with the gain on about 3 o clock, I tend to not over do the gain for metal though so it might need a big boost if you use silly amounts of gain

I'm rather impressed with it and plan to buy one, so does the dsl owner who was playing it before me

Not sure about that, my 50w Laney never got to go above 2 when I was gigging with it :(

I don't fully know amps and gigging, but would it possibly depend on tubes and every other aspect in a gig? Room, speakers, positioning, etc.

I'm sure if I ever gigged I could use my 30W

And this might be a Christmas present for me so here's hoping!

I just threw some clips together, check em out, it's with my 2x12 with V30's. It's just doodling on the nailbomb'd SG and changing the gain, ISF and volume and kicking in the bad monkey every now and again, read the descriptions for more info.

Did you use the bad monkey in the High Gain one?

I did yeah, Volume and gain on the amp cranked, boosted with the bad monkey (Level at 10, gain at 0 and the Bass and treble at noon)

Depends on the band.  I gig both a 35w JTM45 (louder than I need in Doppelganger, not enough for YC/DC) and a 90w JTM45/100 (about right for YC/DC).

update: that clip was so br00talz my computer crashed. Thanks baz :lol:
