Rack or Head?
 

righty, question, what would be a better, getting a nice lil rack thing going, or getting a head. if a head, what head, i am thinking about the randall rh100g2, or if rack, what gear?

and i guess a used marshall 1960 for cab

for a cheap good rack pre amp i like the masrshall jmp one. i forget the exact model name.

you should buy some of my rack gear i'm selling... like my marshall jmp-1 and my peavey classic 50/50 tube poweramp. :D
it'll all fit in a little three space rack, it'll be just as good sounding as a nice tube top, but more flexibility and options, plus it'd be smaller than your average head.

otherwise, a couple good tube heads i'd say look into are the 5150, 5150 II and the crate blue voodoo's.

could do, where bouts u live tho, im in lil old england. yeah and as im in lil old england blue voodoos go for shit loads, v annoying

i'm in america.

i m from england to, your damn right about crate blue voodoo's bein shit loads, i saw a second hand bv60 on ebay for £400 :eek: .

yeah, amps on ebay are too much, even used marshall cabs are going for £300. any played the boss od20, i know i shounldnt keep buying pedals but is this any good, herd some sound clips and it sounds kinder over processed. i sick to death of buying shit pedal after shit pedal...

how much is that in u.s.d.?

the randall is pretty nice. For cheap rack gear id say any digitech gsp series. for power amps that are cheap, i guess the alesis RA-100 or 300 would do.

if you don't have much to spend, get a head. Rack shit is expensive and that Randall will do fine for most stuff....

on another note, I might get a powerball soon :p

whats in your rack nowadays def...if you dont mind telling us

not all racks... a decent/good preamp+poweramp rack will cost about as much as a good/decent head...

my jmp-1 + classic 50/50 setup would be just as kick-assy(maybe more, not to mention more flexible) and just as loud as a marshall tube top. and would cost the same amount(if we're talking used of course)...

that's not even the cheapest rack rig you could get, ada mp-1's are even cheaper and almost as good imo... and you don't have to get a tube poweramp.

you and your damn engl's... save up and get the se, don't even bother with the powerball. :rolleyes:

still the same, Engl 620 preamp and a peavey 50/50 poweramp.

besides that I have an Engl Savage and I might be buying an Engl powerball someday soon as I get my rack sold...

you ever come across the H&K mkII triamp over their in your amp travels? the clips from the website sounds like you could get a killer tone with it

Yeah, MKI's too. I can buy a MKII used too, but I'de rather get the powerball because it suits my needs better.

the Triamp is great though if you want a reaaaally versatile amp and a lot of clear tones

how much would it be used? new its like 2000 USD atlest

over there, maybe. not here.

you can get a used one with the original cab for like 2000 euro's, so a bit more in dollars, but with the cab.

the top is like 3000 new over there?

Its a rough calculation since recent curency rates are not taken in account, but it aproaches it very well.

Hey def, doesn't that shop in Utrecht called "feedback" stock on a few Engls?
I'm dying to try that "engl" tone, but musikproduktiv in Germany is a long travel for me ;)

Not really, a really good racksetup runs way more expensive!

I won't get an SE. I've tried it now, same with the Savage SE, it has too many options I don't need and the powerball does exactly what I want it too, brutal fucking tone. and nice tubey cleans, its more versatile then my savage or my rack, but its a shitload more expensive too.
The SE's are both more versatile but way above my budget, I don't want to spend 4000 bucks on a top. I mean I use it a lot too, I'de be afraid to hurt it or getting it stolen or something. A used powerball goes for about 1000 euro's here. not shabby, I've got a hook up on one now, If only I could sell my rack this weekend... then its mine.
