    Any new mini pedalboard power amps like mag44 but 100w or more

    It's very,very loud. Goes louder than my old Laney GH50L, and they are stupid loud. I should add that it sounds great at low volumes too, I did a little 2pc cover gig there last night and it was lovely.

    Any new mini pedalboard power amps like mag44 but 100w or more

    Sure thing. Got it back-stock from thomann.de for about £200, it's 50W, preamp is solid state and the power amp is what DV Mark call "Mark proprietary technology" whatever that means. Two channels, clean with 3 band eq and a very polite and smooth drive channel which is nice for Tom Quayle...

    Any new mini pedalboard power amps like mag44 but 100w or more

    I just got a cool DV Mark Micro 50 head. Works great as a power amp.

    AMT D2 / P2 comparisons/tones/thoughts/opinions?

    I own the P2, the B1 and one of the guys in my band uses the R2. If you have a decent power amp and a good cab they are unbelievable. I will say the P2 has been my favorite for lead playing, but the R2 has a certain greasiness that lends itself well to low tuned riffs. I don't think you'll be...

    Anyone have an efficient small fly rig? Small power amps, small boards?

    Oh I forgot to mention I'm gonna use a MXR Carbon copy bright, but just run it off batteries. Have you tried the ISP preamp? Is it legit?

    Anyone have an efficient small fly rig? Small power amps, small boards?

    Hey guys, haven't posted in ages but still enjoy reading all the good advice and info on the page :metal: I got a gig with a touring band and we're flying to some festivals in the summer, and I was thinking about how to build a small rig for taking on the plane with me. Does anyone have a very...

    Compression on bass?

    ^ The EBS is the bomb! I use the the Multicomp into a Darkglass B3K and it works really well. I like the optical feature on the EBS, I usually pop the strings aggressively and turn up the compression/ratio until the light blinks on the peaks. Nice subtle compression that won't mess with your...

    Recommend a bright sounding bolt-on that's good for lead.

    Thanks for all the suggestions, cheers. I should clarify and say that I'm after a 7-string guitar here, I already have a 6 I love. I'm probably gonna get some hate for this, but I've never tried a basswood RG (or basswood bodied guitar for that matter) that I've really liked the tone of, so...

    Recommend a bright sounding bolt-on that's good for lead.

    I've had it with my Schecter C7, just too clunky and even with a change of pickups just doesn't sing as a lead instrument. Great rhythm tones though, in case anyone thinks I'm flaming. So I'm after something brighter, snappier and less unwieldy. I have about £1k to spend, what would you...

    Change EMG 707 for 57-7H or BK Painkillers?

    I swapped my 707tws in my Hellraiser for a set of 707x series. They are much better, but still not a particularly "lead-friendly" pickup. Rhythm tones are super tight and clear so if you're a riffer then you will love it. I got a nice white set to match my guitar :)

    POD HD PRO power amps!

    I use a Markbass LMIII bass head with my HD500. Sounds great, but I'd love a Matrix.

    My Laney GH50L sounds boxy with new valves, bias issue or?

    I blew a power amp valve a fortnight ago and left my amp into the shop to get sorted. It was returned to me with a set of "Tube Doctor" el34s. The amp sounds really boxy and middley through my Mesa compact 2x12. Is there something wrong with it? I'm a tube noob (bassist) so any help is much...

    Best pick-up to drive a JCM 800?

    One of the best bands here in town, Event Horses, use real scrapper guitars and boost JCM800s with EH LPB-1 pedals. Sounds massive!

    Some thoughts on analog modellers (AMT, Tech 21) vs Line 6 HD Digital models

    Hey guys, thought I'd share some experience I've had with the Line 6 HD500, AMT B1, Tech 21 U.S.Steel, British and VT Bass pedals. I should start by saying that I mainly gig bass and was so impressed by the VT Bass that I sought out their guitar pedals. I tried the pedals through a pair of...

    Weird shit that has happened to you?

    I got one! After an out of town show I drove back at around 2am, and I was pretty tired. On the way home my car sort of got stuck in 2nd gear and accelerated wildly beyond my control. The clutch was jammed, so I checked my mirrors (all clear) turned the ignition off, stuck my hazards on, and was...

    NGD - Skervesen Raptor FF7

    That's gorgeous, mate! Happy NGD :) I hate to be that guy, but are there ANY finishing flaws? It looks perfect, but there's a Skervy on the Island here that reportedly had some minor finishing flaws.
