Try it with whichever guitar your Mule is in  :P

As for speakers, I guess V30s would get me closer to the tone I want, but I thought they were more suited to metal, whereas I play classic rock, hard rock and cheesy 80s stuff  :)

How about a V30 in the bottom of my cab (heard its quite bassy so would be good for the bottom) then a more rounded top speaker?

I heard fps_deans clips and his Classic Lead cab sounds perfect although I dont know the voicing of those speakers..


i wouldn't say they're only metal speakers. they're a bit like the engl of the speaker world- pretty versatile, but you're right, metal and hard rock is their main forte.

that being said, i got a similar tone to that with a brunetti xl-revo recently, and its cab was loaded with custom-voiced jensens (according to the spec sheet on their website, which is helpfully in italian only, so for once I have an excuse if I'm wrong... :lol: )- though of course, they could be rip-offs of v30's.

but yeah, that mid-range hump is quite characteristic of v30's... cornford is another amp that has a tone a bit like that (in my opinion), and they're loaded with v30's too.

My Behringer EQ arrived today, it made so much difference! Higher gain tones are now much smoother and usable for me. I did some videos but the mic clipped loads :( Not sure if I really need to bother with new speakers now as the eq made it all sound like what I wanted :D


i guess i should have read this first...

Cool :D I'll see how it goes when I'm properly "allowed" to play this amp so I have more time to tweak with the EQ and such. I was loving it earlier when I just rolled off the highs a bit though, perfect hard rock tone :)

For some reason I've always been under the assumption that V30s are really bassy and have a shrill top end, I suppose thats what I get for spending too much time on HC :lol:

Next on my list - decent mic and recording interface  :roll: its neverending.

Nice amp Tom!  :D  Another satisfied Laney owner by the sounds of things too. You must feel relieved, I'm glad you got something your happy with dude! They piss over anything in their price range, esp' ones made nr' MK'! So you say the EQ really improved your tone, hmmm.. I'm going to have to have a go at one of these! I wanna KFK like Nicks to go with my Piggy Pimped Schecter! Not that my amp hasn't got the bottom end but this KFK thing sounds like it could start a war!  :lol:  :twisted:  :twisted:

Are you having much luck with your band projects? I bet you can really have some after your folks let you have it back, 2 weeks isn't so long but it seems a bit silly to get you all fired up and take it back! My Mother did that to me with a pair of second hand roller skates!  It seemed like torture!:lol:  :lol: They were death traps, one of my wheels fell off at this rink I went to and I was going so fast, when the axle dug into the floor and sent me flying through the air, I landed on my knees and burnt two holes into my 2-Tone strides, complete with a pair of symmetrical blisters! :lol:  :lol:  So your you are safer with a guitar and amp any day of the week!  :lol: Plus you can't beat a pair of Jeans and looking like a scumbag, like me back then!

hahaha I think something like that happened to me when dad bought me my first pair of rollerskates :lol:

As for the band projects, not really going anywhere as we still havent found a good (or even passable) singer for the cover band, and I cant seem to find any musicians into the same stuff as me to start up an original band, hence me saving for a mic to do it myself :P

Yeah EQ was really good for my tone although you have to be a bit careful with the sliders as if you go too extreme it makes the tone sound cr@p, I only really use it to tone down the high frequency and leave everything else on neutral.. TBH I cant see the KFK one being worth it as I got a Behringer EQ700 for £15 whereas the KFK is around £115. Sure its probably got true bypass and better components but if youre having it on all the time then bypass doesnt matter..
