thats all there is to it. pre amp into power amp, power amp into cab.

metal life can eat poop. and his mom gives shitty head.

i don't really need all the effects and the 200 different tones and stuff, for a good preamp with clean and a good distortion, how much would that cost me? (preamp alone)

and how much would a good power amp cost me?

well if you'll be swimming around in money, save up for a seriously kickass amp, tried Orange or Engl amps yet?

getting a power and a pre-amp can be good, but if you buy shitty quality stuff, you're better of buying a good head, like the Engl Fireball.

anyways, I wouldn't go for solid state, but that's just an opinion, our guitarist uses a modified TSL100 head and it sounds brutal as shit, no digital effects crap, nothing, just a pair of EMG's in his LP

a pre and power amp are basically the same as a regular head, but a regular head has a pre and power amp in one, the pre-amp can give you more versitality, but you might not even need it. I wouldn't get a pre and a power amp just because I don't need the options, I'de rather have a great tube head instead, but that's personal preference too, a good pre and power amp are shit expensive, I might add.


oh, if there's gonna be anymore offtopic shit, I'll delete it, you bunch of cunts.

play nice or get burnt

ok, i think its settled, I am soon getting a job, after that, i work my ass off during summer and possibly during school time, and i save up for a mesa dual rectifier.

haha, I felt that one coming

now that all 3 of us are one, why?

to me mesa is overrated and overpriced and it sounds like shit. to much mid and not a very good crunch tone. very weak. if you have to have a mesa get a triple rec and go to e bay and get an ibenaz tube screamer to put it over the top. a hush unit would help to. but really meas SUCKS!!!!

haha, ok, are there any good amp heads that you do like?

I think there's better stuff out there for those ammounts of money, Engl, Orange, Rivera, I mean, Mesa has a big name, but I played an Engl Fireball (only 50w tube) and it blew a mesa away, it had much, much better tone.

here's a link to their webhideout, http://www.engl-amps.com/

they have a couple oranges, and a couple rivera's at the guitar center up here, but they're all clearance and shit, and old models, but i've never heard of engl, or ever played one.

i'd ask about soldanos, but then i saw their price, and even though i'm willing to save up, i'm not willing to save up 3,000 bucks for just a head.

well Rivera is neat too, check out http://www.rivera.com/prod_khseries.htm

and a review,

http://www.harmony-central.com/Guit...ehead_2-01.html

I played the 55, with a single cab and it was awsome, though I don't know the exact price... I think the head is around 1500 new?

an Engl Savage 120 is 1850 USD,

http://www.musik-service.de/ProduX/...vage_120_EN.htm

and an Powerball (100) is 1450USD

http://www.musik-service.de/ProduX/...l_Powerball.htm

a dual rect head is 2490 here. pff, I'de go with an Engl or Rivera over that dual rect any time. the Engl cabs are good, but the Mesa cabs are better though.

soldano's are really expensive, but hell, they even come with waterproof pots

i dig that rivera m100 top
