^the screamer comes as a combo, i think that's the one we were suggesting.

If you do decide to go for a screamer, ask to see what speaker is inside it, the new ones have celestion vintage 30's, the older ones didn't (i think).

Just get a Marshall.
With 500 pounds,it'll be hard to get a good old 800.
900 can be good but try it before purchase.
2000 is fine.
Bellamy used to have a few DSL on tour but the most DSL JCM 2000 he played was a DSL Orange Crunch Special Edition.

For the new album,he uses a Marshall Super Lead and a Vox Ac 30.

I'm sorry, i missed that, you see, i thought you made a derogatory, sarcastic comment about one of the best contempory bands today. Albeit he's no Jimmy Page or Rory Gallagher, but he's still can get some amazing sounds out of an axe.

Well, thas my rant for today. :)

lol, this could go on for a while, and yeh, i get what you're on about with his vocals, a lot of songs sound the same too, but i have a tendency to like bands like that, hence my fondness of Coldplay.

Now I don't respect your opinions either. :P

I gotta stay away from some of the other guitar sites. They're making me nasty.

also the ENGL Thunder 50 combo would be a great amp.

any of the ENGL combos really would be an absolute god send for that type of music great amps really modern tones big huge sound all valve decent construction, nobody else is providing that quality of tone at that price these days, the ENGL's play with the big boys and their price is good.

Muso · « **Reply #26 on:** May 07, 2006, 12:24:21 PM »

If youve got a clean amp why not just get a nice driver pedal, I have the DS-1 modded by robert keely and its really good.

+1

EDIT: i was impressed with some of the laneys too, for the price- both the VH (more metal) and TT (more hardrock and shred). they're slightly less than the screamer.

but yeah, engl are definitely up there when it comes to value...

The Marshall DSL100 will be perfect for muse but they lack that chug for heavy metal. My B-52 AT212 was $800 and I can get a pretty good muse sound and a really good metal sound. They have head versions too, the AT-100.

If you're after an amp for playing in the house/bedroom then 50 watters are way too loud- unless you attenuate them or keep the volume down. Either way you're not gonna get 'that' tone.

You'd be better of with a low wattage valve amp and a Zvex fuzz factory f0r the real Muse stuff- the same pedal Matt uses.
