listen to the mp3 in the sig.......
the b5-2 doesnt have good cleans period..... and it doesnt have very good distortion, not for nu metal, not for classic rock, not for metalcore, not for death metal, not for hxc, maybe decent for punk, but punks arent picky, not for blues, not for jazz, not for pop, not for thrash.... ect.
try it out and if you love it buy it... if you don't, we told you so.

finally! i dont know what you punks are on about or your intelligence with gear. ive heard the st 100 through the net, and it sounded great.
the guy was playing it through a tc electronic g-force but that only added colouration and it was brilliant

omg.... for the last time.... if you like it buy it.... i'm not really sure where you are going with this.... we think it sucks, but if you want it buy it.... but then if you end up not liking it we don't want to hear about it.

ST-100A
There is no real problem with the B52 ST100A tube amp, change the preamp tubes to 12au7 or 12at7's from the 12ax7 and the sorry output tubes (Sovetek's 5881's) to some SED's flying "C" 6L6GC and you will get more a clean bluesy sound....the name is new and thats the problem....and yes, its Californian made...  |

Okay, I've just read through the entire thread ... and this must be closed.
* puts on psychiatrist's glasses and smokes pipe, assuming a perfectly Freudian posture and aesthetic *
It seems as if you want us to share your excitement regarding a purchase of the B-52, and to echoe your approval. You want to hear your own thoughts voiced by others.
*removes glasses and pipe *
But that's just not going to happen, because we all hate this amplifier. Why would they advertise it as a high-gain amplifier when it is'nt? When the equipment you're selling looks that good, it does'nt matter what it sounds like. The same kids playing B.C. Rich Bronze Warlocks are going to salivate over it.

Since when did aesthetics play such a big role in choosing an amp?

Or if it comes without a wood box around it for that matter...
I just paid 300$ for A Kramer Vanguard Pro with a 2 inch chip taken out of the wing and I love it.
