| Perpetual_Burn User Info... | Good site eh? I found it a while ago. It's Good information for all guitarists. - Thu, 19 Feb 2004 12:03pm | ||
| ticklefish User Info... | Defionitely good info...nothing new to me but I know when I first learned this stuff it helped a lot...especially about wattage in your amp. Nothing drives me crazier than seeing people sink hundreds of extra $$ into having a 100-200 W head because "you can't jam without 100W of power"... but hey, music stores love to let you believe lots of this stuff, it makes them wealthy - Thu, 19 Feb 2004 12:51pm | ||
| Danny Silverfish User Info... | I found from personal experience that most 50 watt amps sounded tighter in the gain stages for metal.but hey now I have a 5150 120 watts and its tight enough for me.Bigger price tag bigger numbers must mean better right?..ha - Thu, 19 Feb 2004 1:02pm | ||
| Colin Sick User Info... | Well having a louder power amp allows you to get a cleaner sound. That is why a triple rectifier or a 5150 can get that really fuzzed out sound. Beacuse the preamp is distorting and not the power amp. - Thu, 19 Feb 2004 8:36pm | ||
| ticklefish User Info... | Hey, just like that website I posted the link to says, there are places and situations where massive amps are indeed required, I am really only arguing with the people who seem to think that a massive amp is always required, kind of like guys who have to drive a Camaro to feel manly. I have two all tube jobbies, a Fender HRDx, which is pretty sweet, and a little 5W garnet, which produces absolutely killer tone - Fri, 20 Feb 2004 7:01am | ||
