I wouldn't get it without the built in effects. I could turn the effects off with a footswitch but the dry signal just lacked the body that reverb and chours could give it. The cleans were awsome on the amp but I had to boost the distortion channels a bit with a pedal. It did have a great lead distortion and mid range crunch distortion without a pedal to boost it though. But to get a Pantera type hard attack distortion I had to use a pedal.

I'm looking more for a great clean. Distortion can be fixed (get me a Rocktron Silver Dragon like RussianRoullette. Thing slays). Unless I can get a Blue Voodoo cheap (below $450), I'll probably get the GFX then. Thanks mate.

No problem bro. Ebay has some really good deals on GFX right now. What is in demand seems to change by the week there, but I've seen GFX heads go for $50 lately. Everyone is trying to sell Crate GT amps and it drops the price of the older models a lot. The GTs are the same thing as the GFX but with knobs that light up and a channel effects tracker. That way you can switch channels and the effects asigned to that channel at once, but that isn't really needed unless you are heavy on effects.

Heh, alright. I'll do a little more research, and see what I can do with what little money I have. Fucking parents and pathmark are ripping money out my ass weekly now.

But how many people, who can use an options of GT-8 at least on 25%, do you know?

What??
