After that brief phase when you thought the Axe-Fx was all you'd ever need..... you seem to have gone totally amp crazy recently!  :lol:

Good thing I am posting this stuff here, coz in every other forum people would go "darn this sounds great, I need one".

You guys help me cooling down.

Being without a job still, I should f$&/ing stop acquiring gear, but it's so difficult.

13 Vs??????

Sell me one, makes it a round dozen :O)

no ;)


regarding the amp - i'm sure its great 'for the money' but we already identified here that blackstar as a little cheap construction-wise. and you have an axefx+power amp and the ecstasy.

i know how hard GAS bites man, but this time i think its better to resist

edit: this video is very good practise for my rusty german though. i'm happy you posted it. "ja, sehr lecker"

I'm very tempted to try one of those, but I'm also tempted by a Herbert :)

Not me any more!  I'm GAS'ing for nothing.  Nil.  Nada.  I have a some superb amps, and some fantastic guitars.  I'm done.

On the subject of the Blackstar, it's sounds OK I guess?  I'm not blown away though?

i don't trust these blackstars. they've been way over-hyped. I thought the artisan 15 i tried was very average. a decent amp, sure, but if you'd read the reviews you'd have thought it was going to be the next dumble.

It sounds ok, it just sounds like a HT5 really! I think The Series ones are very overhyped and they sound pretty much the same as the HT5 (this is just judging from clips obviously I havent played one). Not a cr@p sound but not amazing either.. I've gone off my HT5 though so am a bit biased :P

Hunter, you should get a Laney GH50L or Vintage Modern head instead :)

They're really expensive but made in Korean are they not? Kind of pops my balloon.

I lived with the guy doing the demo for about 6 months back in the day when we were at college in London

There is quite a lot in these amps as I understand it, they'd be a lot more if they were made in the UK.

I could be completely wrong here but I think the artisan was made by a very different design team. Guitarist magazine really liked this amp, so I'm prepared to give it the benefit of a doubt, maybe I'll hate it, but I'd like to try one properly, and the only way to do that is to take one home (but not for a while, my bank account is still recovering from the Diezel rig )

Just sounds like a Marshall to me.
I like my HT-5 for playing late, but to be honest the biased press they get in magazines like Guitarist is really starting to put me off
