ok the killer question now.... a tricky, specific one too, what would sound better for classic-hard rockmaybe dabbling in a lil bit 'o metal:

engl thunder 50 combo (WITHOUT attenuator)

OR

laney lc30 (WITH attenuator- hotplate probably).

and it pretty much has to be the thunder 50 COMBO no other, dearer engl's - thats my limit price wise.

anyone tried both?


I reckon you should buy my Marshall/Behringer halfstack for £300 notes and then spend the rest on an attenuator.

Just my 2 pennies

Andy!
GREAT GOOGILY MOOGILY!

DAMN! didnt think of that one..... what if... WHAT IF..... i played the guitar 'remotely'??

ok being serious now.... is there anything that would work apart from ear plugs lol cause i may not be able to find any by tomorrow...


if you're really stuck, and have a long enough lead, you can go outside the room and close the door over- that'll cut out a bit of the noise.

You won't die, but you might mess up your hearing...

haha andy lol...

ok just tried it on full volume + almost full gain and it was pretty damn good.... not AS loud as i expected, i think its cause we turned it up very gradually....

i was too close to it really- less than 3 metres away, so there was a LOT of hum and squealing.... need a longer lead,

now just gotta try an engl.... and maybe andys marshall/behringer

haha! damn im fed up of people trying to sell me stuff!!!!?!?!!! lol

it was awesome but was WAYYY too noisy (not loud NOISY) cause like i said i was really close, and ive got a p-90 so the hum was immense.

wish i had a longer lead.... definately better than my crate at higher volumes though....

so now just need to decide whether to go for laney+hotplate, or new amp altogether....


also, my bloody mates washburn, how unfair can life be, hes only just started, and every time i play his washburn I WANT TO KILL HIM!!!!!

its a USA made (no serial number so maybe US custome shop!!!), chicago series, KC something.... absolutely... AWESOME!!!!

ive roped him into getting nailbombs  :twisted:  so there shall be clips and pics of the beast soon.
