ruinedhero posted:I really don't know of any amps that do both bass and regular. A bass amp would probably be better to use if you really need only one amp... Orange Thunderverbs are designed for both. edit: But the real issue is that the amps are fine, its speakers you have to worry about. Bass frequencies will drive guitar speakers into over-excursion and destroy them. plester1 fucked around with this message at 22:01 on Jul 8, 2010 |

I was about to suggest a 5150 also, but since you're allergic to those, maybe a used Marshall JCM2000 DSL? I'm not sure what the prices are like in the UK but for a used Marshall they're cheap in the US.

Mondrian posted:I guess I'm after tones like those in this song: Cult of Luna is known for using a shitload of amps and guitarists. They've been seen with JCM800/900s, Dual Rectifiers, Fender Twins, OR120s, Sunn Model Ts, a small unidentified Traynor combo, some custom Swedish amps, and more. Honestly, a lot of their sound has to do with layering several low/mid gain tracks and heavy reverb/delay. They're well known for using various Roland Space Echos.

Kerpal posted:Are there any other good, affordable hi gain amps that aren't the 6505? I want death metal tone but also bluesy cleans and I know the cleans suck on the 6505. I guess I'm looking for versatility. I'd be willing to spend 1200, though I want a combo since i don't have a cab. I really only need a 1x12 combo. With a budget like $1200, you could think about getting two separate combos and an AB switch. You could pick up a Fender Hot Rod or a JC-120 for cheap and spend the rest on the 6505. Do you want an all-tube high gain amp, or would you be willing to look at a modelling amp? That would probably give you a lot more options.

Boz0r posted:I'm looking to get a new sound and I really dig the sound of the lead guitar in the solos of this song: There's a whole cottage industry of people making pedals that sound like a Marshall plexi, often called "Marshall-in-a-box". Examples include the PlexiTone, Purple Plexi, Box of Rock, and Dirty Little Secret. Hell, if you tweak around a bit you could probably go cheap and get away with a ProCo Rat or modded DS-1 to get close to that sound.

Before actually replacing your tubes, I would suggest making sure all the contacts and socket receptacles are clean and free of corrosion. A lot of problems that seem like tube issues are actually a result of poor or intermittent contact.

SeraphSlaughter posted:*snip* FWIW, The Sword uses distortion pedals through clean tube amps. I believe one guitarist uses an EHX Metal Muff and the other uses a Maxon Distortion Master.

Jonny 290 posted:(Tangentially, is there any safe process by which I could power up my old Peavey, or should I do the right thing and test caps - which would be a pain?) Do some googling for 'light bulb current limiter'. Its a fairly cheap and easy DIY way to safely power up an amp that may have potential problems.

Boz0r posted:How do know if I bias my amp correctly? I always read about how you bias an amp, but never how you know when your amp is biased. I like to think of it like the idle speed on a car engine. You don't want it too high or too low, but somewhere just right. If the bias is too high, the amp will be overheating and burning up tubes prematurely. If the bias is too low, the amp won't get enough signal through the tube and will sound lovely and crackly. If your amp is working fine, you can fiddle with it a bit in order to push the tubes harder for breakup or back off for more headroom. The reason to rebias when putting in new tubes is that every tube conducts and distorts up at a different bias point. What works for one tube may be way off for another.
