OK so Ian asked about my amp in another thread & it only seemed fair to put piccies up after he asked. After many a conversation with Martin & then with Sgmypod about my hiwatt, it came to my attention that I right royaly c--ked up. I love that clean but warm sound that Hendrix had & people like John Mayer & Matt Schofield use these days. So after a kick up the arse & convincing of the wife, I had another chat with Martin at this place about a Ceriatone 5F6-A.
BUT IN A HEAD!!!!
It has everything that I love & Martin was kind enough to make one....I ended up with this little beauty...
IT sounds like heaven to me. Tight but not compressed, open with a lovely warm after taste (bugger me this is an amp not a wine!). It takes pedals extremely well & has everything I was after. I can do Hendrix, Gilmour etc with ease (apart from the quality of playing)
Porn time (but not hardcore!)
I can't believe that more people don't get bassmans. I know the whole thing of of the JTM45 etc, but from my experience (and after speaking with Martin) the cleans aren't amazing with them & that's what I think that most people forget. Get a good clean sound & you can build upon it. It does nice break-up when pushed, but I don't want a full on crunch as I'm mostly a clean player & I can add them with my pedals (which if you want a look at they're all
here)
But I've also added a new pedal in the last couple of days...a Lovepedal Pickle Vibe & man is it lovely! It sounds like a univibe..it plays like a univibe, but without the cost! It's from there new Mini line & I love it. Gilmour, Trower & Hendrix in a tiny little box. It has the usual adjustment knob, but it has a trim pot inside that I've got to play with yet to (I think & hope) get the best out of it, but if it's half as good as it sounds now..I'll be happy!
piccie!
I've taken up your time to show how awesome my new gear is...time for you guys to agree
