the best combos about????????
« on: July 16, 2007, 02:20:25 PM »
whats your views??
 i have to sell up my cab as im moving into a smaller place for my new job so i cant have my cab taking up all th space...plus i wont be able to crank it   :cry:  :cry:  :cry:

so i need a combo....but ill likely be joinin another band so its needs to be loud enough for a bit of brutality :twisted:
so would a 50watt tube amp do?i think it likely would

im a metal head at heart so bear that in mind for suggestions.but i want a really soild sounding clean channel....like a fender but with balls!!i just prefer it that way i dont like too much chorus or what not on clean parts.but that doesnt really matter ... :roll:

Why don't you just get a smaller cab?  Like a 2x12".  It's not be much bigger than a combo amp.

I'd say ENGL screamer. There's also the valvetronix series of modelling amps, if you get bored with one sound.

Sounds like an ENGL Screamer would suit you fine. I was close to buying one myself a couple of years ago now but couldn't afford it in the end.

I remember I got to play a Ibanez PGM and a vintage 1959 Fender strat. The tones I got from the guitars and amp sounded awesome. It can go from very clean and pristine, to a slightly dirty blues tone, raw overdrive for liquidy leads and a quite powerfull grind tone.

+1 on the engl screamer. they generally have them in the belfast guitar emporium so you could check them out there.

Genz benz el diablo would also be worth a look, mac 2 music in banbridge are dealers. Bear in mind, though, a lot of people seem to hate them with a vengeance (they're almost like krank in that respect).

So a combo for Metal?

More early 90s Metallica or more the new metal stuff?

What's the budget?

Had an ENGL Screamer and a Mesa Recto.
Out of these two mesa won hands down, in both gain and cleans territory.
Having said that, Mesa are abit more costly but worth it IMO.
And having played the 5150 at real volumes for some time I would have to say Yuck!
