oh....my....god.... i dont believe i did it again!! yeah thats what im trying to say. i havent played thru many modellers, but it certainly was very lacklustre to my ears, and appaulingly made. she has a v-ampire 2 thing i think and it might be different from other behringers modellers? _tom_'s behringer v-amp thing aint half bad!

I don't like behringer as their designs are too similar to other products, but I can't afford a real sans amp :(

However they are cheap and relativly repairable.

However the runoff groove simulators are way better and they give stripboard diagrams for those who can't / won't PCBs

Your thing under your display pic says your in Herts, and I don't know where Stevenage is, but Coda's other place is in Luton which is south beds, and that wouldn't be too far for you to go I imagine, especially when you think of how much an amp costs. And they'll move stuff between either store for you, which is rather funky of them.

I know its been mentioned but I should point out that buying a second hand marshall doesn't mean you are saving money I bought my 2204 (it's older than the one Tim had) for £450, but decided to have it serviced by Marshall (£170 all in including valves), then replaced the valves with better ones (£80). Hence it wasn't a cheap thing to do, but I bought the amp because it was the one I wanted.

As indy said, my behringer v-amp 2 aint that bad. I've heard some people say they prefer it to a Pod except for the high gain tones. I've never played a Pod but all I know is that I like the V-amp 2. Sounds good for running into the clean channel on a SS amp if its overdrive sucks

sambo · « **Reply #26 on:** January 18, 2006, 04:52:56 PM »

how much did it cost??

Kilby · « **Reply #27 on:** January 18, 2006, 05:45:33 PM »

Personally I think the Korg / Vox modelling also sounds way better than the POD.

Possibly it's because I found that the Line 6 Twang didn't twang and the Crunch didn't crunch for me.

just out of interest; kilby you said you think vox/korg modelling sounds are better then the POD. well recently i got a zoom ps-04 little recording thing with built in effects/amp modelling and i chose that over a similar priced korg one. now i dont know much at all about modelling so i was just wondering what the difference was between zoom and korg when it comes to modelling?

I got my '67 SG junior from there, although I think that's the only expensiveish purchase I've made there to be honest. But it's pretty cool, especially sice they moved the Luton one into a bigger store. They stock bare knuckles too I think, which is always good.
