I think to piss off the fanboys that had been waiting outside the shop for hours...but i don't really understand it myself - the MG would be funnier anyways...they did it with the ipod as well - http://www.smashmyipod.com/

^ i'm not 100% on this, but i'm assuming that:

(a) when the xbox 360 was released, demand outstripped supply, i.e. people were queuing to get them, and the shops had sold out.

(b) so those guys pre-ordered one.

(c) then got it and smashed it

(d) in front of people who wanted one and couldn't get it.

Pretty evil, but also pretty funny. Mostly evil though. I'm sure they wouldn't have been impressed if you bought something they wanted, but couldn't get, and then smashed it in front of them...

:D

funny i guess, but a total waste - i'm sure if you asked someone clever they'd tell you the money for that would have fed an African Family for a decade or something

Yeah, it's kinda sad that more people are willing to give this guy money to smash stuff up (he's taking donations for his SECOND PS3) than are willing to donate to worthwhile causes...

But technically, there's nothing wrong with me making a video of me playing through a burning MG, just to make a stand against marshall :P

Coming back to amps, I normally use a Marshall JMP 100 all valve head with a 4x12 cab. If we are gigging without an inhouse PA, which is rare these days, the Marshall cab is a must, for good projection and volume. If there is a PA, the AVT 275 can easily cut it, as you don't need to project with the amp. Also, when miked you rarely hear the warmer all valve sound anyway. Thats how small the difference is. In a studio with a great mike, you would detect a warmer tone with the JMP.

It is very sensitive

I'll second that, its more sensitive to guitar changes also than most amps, but its still good.

I'm thinking now whether to save up for a mode four. it might take a while but it would be worth it.

grr- no it wouldn't - get a good valve amp dammit. ENGL screamer halfstack. sorted.

Damn you indy, beat me to it...

+1 on the screamer though - I love mine

Buddha: What makes you think the Mode Four would be good? It's still a hybrid - (even more) overpriced AVT really :P

Buddha: You've obviously never heard a mode four either or you wouldn't have said it's worth the money :P

The screamer will be louder, and has enough gain (as i've said before) to play Enter Sandman on my tele (I know it's not the heaviest of songs, but this is a TELE we're talking about :lol: )

http://rocksolidamps.com/sounds.php ENGL soundclips - then go buy one :)

Just to say i have listened to the mode four, but after listening to the screamer, there's just no comparison really.it's bloody brilliant. PDT_012

^ yep, the screamer is a great, versatile little amp for the cash. seconded. Depends what you want to play though...
