And what the heck were you thinking actually PAYING for it if you player stoner-rock ;)
Sorry, couldn't hold back.

Anyways, I saw Krisiun play last night, and they convinced me buy a poweramp for my POD, and use that live. For that kind of music, it really does work exceedingly well!

Guitar Center. It's a '62 re-issue which makes it easy to find.

Lummer, since when do I play stoner rock?

(I play indie pop, bluesy rock 'n' roll, and effects-laden My Bloody Valentine-esque stuff)

Oh, I confused you with Negative Creep, who said he played that kinda stuff. Me-sa understand now.
But a jag does make perfect sense for the stuff you play, no doubt.

Granted your probably not supposed to run a keyboard through a guitar amp but I've been trying to record some stuff I don't really know how to describe the sound I'm after, I want to add some like texture to one of my songs, so I've trying to do this dronish fairly bass heavy church organ type sound, with some minor flanger effects on it to give it a bit of echo. It's more like a really bass heavy humming type sound I'm after, basically I'm using my sustain pedal and just  layering a few chords together, most of the time the sound comes through fine, every so often though the amp will give an involuntary high pitched squeal almost like feedback.

The amp I'm using is a cheap peice of shit, it's never given me any trouble with my guitar and I quite like the tone I get out of it, but when I play lower bass notes on the keyboard the amp will make this high pitched squeaking noise, doesn't always do it only sometimes, is this normal, am not supposed to run my keyboard through a guitar amp, will it do the same thing if I borrow a more expensive amp from a friend?

Yeah, definitely. Now I just have to save up the money for one (I said Jazzmaster before but I've been leaning towards the Jag as of late).

Scytale, it might be that the guitar amp just can't handle the bass. I'm no expert, but running something too low through the guitar amp can supposedly fuck it up. You should try borrowing a bass amp from someone instead.

My current (first) (free..sort of) amp:



In have no idea wether thats good, bad, horrific or what... Looks old... Peavey logo is different these days isn't it? O_O.

The lead stuff always comes out really bassy, and there's no way to get anything decent distortion wise, so i use it on clean settings and use a pedal for distortion.

No, I meant negative creep and his $500 Jaguar. I'm buying the American Vintage reissue as well but if I can save money by grabbing at a vintage '62 through '66 on EBay or something, well, shit, that'd be a much nicer deal, in my opinion.

This thread is now about both guitars and amps and the different qualities of all the components within this equipment.

I have a tiny 30W Crate amp that I've had for years and it's definately done well. But now I'm starting to play shows and it's not cutting it anymore... Thanks for this thread! Really helps me out.

Right now, I'm primarily using:

*Hagstrom D2H guitar w/ GFS "Dream 180 Pickups" -- sounds somewhere between a Les Paul and a Gretsch, that weird vintage-y "Filtertron" sound, but a little fuller and more versatile (http://store.guitarfetish.com/dr180vihuch.html)

*Keeley modded Ibanez Tube Screamer (http://www.robertkeeley.com/product.php?id=5)

*Either my Tech 21 Trademark 60 amp (http://tech21nyc.com/tm60.html) or our other guitarist's modded Fender Hot Rod Deville (mmmmm)

I once played through a vintage AC15, and it was pretty much the best sound EVAR.  Made me think of Gang of 4.

my friend plays a hollowbody that sounds absolutely great through some kind of "eh" Kustom amp. It is prone to whistling feedback though.

You know, that's why I've been debating over whether I should get an ES-335 vs. a Jaguar. They are both fucking sexy and all, but a strike pro-semihollow and anti-solid is that I don't want to have to turn my amp up to 11 just to get a little octave feedback out of the damn solidbody. Feedback is easier to produce with a semi-hollow than it is on a solid, but MUCH easier to control than on a hollowbody.

Perhaps it's just 'cause my Marshall is just too goddamn big (100w) and I need a smaller amp for more feedback with fewer decibels. Thoughts?

I need a new amp.  For practicing in my room, and eventually with a band, hopefully.  Can anyone recommend an affordable amp, that sounds good?

The right overdrive pedal can make a kitchen table feed back.  The Rocktron Silver Dragon is a good choice -- it has a tube  gain stage and a solid state gain stage, and when you run them together it is feedback city!

I'd suggest a Vox Valvetronix series amp. They're hybrids (part solid-state, part tube) so they provide a nice sound for a decent price. It comes with a fair amount of amp models and effects built in, which eliminates the need for you to spend extra money on pedals right off the bat.

Go for the 15-watt as a small practice amp. 30-watt as a big practice/small to medium gigs amp. Max volume on the 30-watt in your room willl explode your head.

If you need a really small, cheap one, I'd go for the Roland Micro Cube.

I'm considering getting a small 5w to 15w amp just for recording purposes. I want to be able to create feedback without breaking windows. Any suggestions?

I don't really want a modeling amp, since I already have an effect pedal.  I tested a Fender Blues Junior amp at a local shop.  I liked it a lot.  It had nice tone and a very nice built in distortion.  I loved the clean sound, and I'm wondering what it'd sound like with an overdrive or distortion pedal going through it.  It also had some reverb that was a bit lacking, but i liked it.  I asked Kevin (the owner), and he said it was a 30 watt amp, but the only models i can find online are 15 watt ones.  :?  It's a tube amp though, so it's louder.

I wanna buy a Fender Standard Telecaster as well.  And a Boss Mega Distortion pedal.  Mmhmm...Telecasters are sexy.

Well, I only suggested a Crush because Kim wanted a small amp so that he could produce feedback easier. I'd highly suggest an Orange Rocker or Rockerverb for louder amp tastiness.

Does it HAVE to be tube amp? They are actually available in those sizes, at reasonable cost, even.

Indeed.  I don't really know why I'm being so picky, but i might just settle for one of those Valvetronics or however you spell it amps, even though I don't really want a modeling amp.  I guess it wouldn't be bad having extra models to goof around with.  :|

I found out today that my amp wasn't broken, just the cable.

Such a boon.

Only a little Marshall but it's all I need. Though I wouldn't mind an Orange.
