I thought we should maybe make an Amp Talk Sticky. It might help with all the new amp threads. If you dont like the idea just close it. If you like it, Mods, make it a Sticky.

maybe like a "how amps work" sticky. one just for amps in general seems to large to contain in one thread, there are too many kinds of amps and models and put in one thread

__________________

Well most of the threads I have seen are about "is this amp good?"

yea but we tried that once with guitar and it went down the tubes faster then a pube in the shower

__________________

I have a better idea.

We all make one in depth post about certain amps we owned or played and simply explain whether you liked it or not and give reasoning.

i can see this thread drifting off constantly. but what makes it any different from the others?

as for h-c, you can't really trust everything you here on the internet... i hear some really idiotic and retarded stuff on here too... people just have different tastes in music, style, and sound....


why??

If we were to do this we would need a mod to clean the thread up. It would work best if everyone only posted ONCE but it would be a nice long, in depth post. This sticky should clean up alot of these useless threads all asking the same damn question. Also maybe a nice explanation of the differences between tube and solid state amps ect.. Basically my idea is to make one big reference thread were newbies can come and just read up on all the info, and hopefully their question(s) will be answered. Of course i dont want this to end up like my Pickup thread... which was just closed after a day and has little to NO information in it.

as for my reason for being banned, i guess i was being a menace. Basically i annoyed def enough for him to ban me. But this thread isent about me being banned.. read up on the past RTT to find out why.

I have a life too you know

I like BLS's idea. we could make a kind of database about amps, for instance I could tell you about the new Ibanez S prestige and the powerball I played yesterday... and we could share experiences, talk about mods, tubes you name it.

I think the 'what amp do I need' shit should stay in own threads... everyone needs something ELSE. but we could redirect them to this thread for global knowledge. BLS can make the official one, this is just the feedback thread for it, so keep those ideas flowing.

oh and banning bls was just for him beeing a prick, plus he said he'de never come back, but dammit, he did

Sounds like a cool idea of a thread, I would kill for an Ampeg svt 8x10 cab.

I know its a little off subject but why does harmony central suck, i know lots of great players who are part of their forums.

dude... read some of the reviews and you'll know why....

seriously, most of them are crap.... guys here will give their honest opinion about how it sounds to them when they play METAL on it...

half of the reviews on h-c need to be deleted because they're simply crap... and the forums??? holy shit, there are like no mods on there... you could ask about and amp you're interested in and then every body sarts calling you a communist or something and argueing about politics... fucking retards. you think we get off topic around here, man that's something else....

i think a "how amps work thread" and an " Amp review thread" are cool ideas... i'd also like to see more stuff on rack gear too.... but nobody around here seems to be "that geeky".... also, a thread on "repairs" could prove useful....

__________________

actually the amp forum on harmony central is really nice, a bit disorganized, but they send you an email when your thread gets replied to.

__________________

meh, most forums have the option of e-mailing you when a thread is replied to, just go in your profile and it'll have the option.

__________________

yeh its called subscribing to a thread.

And the HC amp forum blows.. its all politics and random threads..

worthless..

__________________

i see, so its largely due to having to many people each with their own agenda.

and idiots

different opinions arent to bad, everybody has a different style and requirements... but when a metalhead buys a peavey classic 30 combo and blabs about how it blows ass, it's retarded because that amp isnt voiced for metal at all.
or when a jazz/blues guitarist buys a 5150 and says it's a worthless pile of crap, it's retarded because that amp isnt voiced for that... ect.

and then there are the screwball reviews that are obviously just crap everyway you look at em'.
