Greetings All - Thanks for the posts. Where to start... Style of music - I like several styles and appreciate most. I grew up listening to Sabbath, T-Rex, Deep Purple, Zeppelin, SRV, etc. but really started having an interest in playing music and emulating the 80's rock bands. I mostly play...

Looks like Tech21 sells only one guitar head (but several combo amps...) and it is solid-state, out of stock and production has been temporarily suspended...

Cash is definitely a consideration. The Hughes and Kettner amps I'm interested in are $1,700 - $1,800, which is pretty much my limit. If I could justify it, I'd get the H&K Triamp MK II, but it's $3,500

YEAROFTHENICK Thanks for the response. Sounds like you've had some nice equipment. I'm like you, probably like a lot of people; looking back, you wonder why you didn't keep some of the equipment you sold or traded. My biggest regret (especially after following vintage guitar prices over the last...

FATCAT Greetings... If I was looking at combo amps, the JC120 would be near the top of the list. I have always liked the sound and versatility. I'm pretty much set on getting an all-tube head - just don't know which one. Thanks...

SHOGUN323 I appreciate the information. I'm looking at recording tools as well, but also want to have a "traditional" amplifier setup. The Hughes and Kettner amps have direct out capability onboard... If you're interested and have time, take a look at the Hughes and Kettner website. They have...

C'mon - there must be some guitar players here that have comments and suggestions on amps...

CFR For me, this is about buying something to get the sound I really want. I rarely play out and, if I had a need, I could use the combo amp. If it was an extended deal, I could leave the big rig there and use the combo at home. I'll never be a gigging musician. I'm looking at outfitting a small...

#11 - I Have a Tear in my Ear 'Cause I'm Layin' on my Side Cryin' Over You

CFR True enough, but I already have the 412 and a small rack of effects. A combo version of the amps I'm interested in are more than the head only because of the included cabinet and speakers. I have a small Peavey Vypyr combo amp that I can throw in the car if I need to play out. P.S. You're...

$700B (and climbing) - Bailout...

RUSH - 2112 Tesla - Mechanical Resonance Ozzy - Diary of a Madman Matchbox Twenty - Yourself or Someone Like You (one of the very few that I don't skip any songs on...)

I haven't played through any of the latest Mesa models, but was familiar with them "back in the day". I plan to make a trek to some music stores so I'll see if they have any to test. Anyone familiar with the Hughes and Kettner amps and have comments? Take Care...

Greetings... PONTIUS The JSX sounds good for a lot of things, but I am just not thrilled with the clean channel. Could be me, but I've heard others with the same comments. The Line 6 was something I stumbled upon but I am all but certain it's not the right amp for me. Open to comments from those...

Greetings... I haven't played guitar routinely in several years but my interest is coming back and I am trying to re-gear. I have been researching amplifiers and wonder if any of the guitar players on this forum have recommendations. For comparison, here is what I currently use: Main Rig...

Thermal expansion/contraction of closely assembled but dissimilar materials... (what REEFRAFF said...)

Let's split the difference on opinions on cables... Cables built with better quality components are, well, better - BUT most people don't have the component setups that demand that kind of quality. Ultra-cheap cables are usually just that - ultra-cheap. But if you connect the cable one time...

You cannot be serious. You CANNOT be serious (I can't believe no one else posted that) Geting to play with some of the most respected people in a sport - how cool

"...browsing around WalMart..." Isn't that the scariest part of this thread?

Budapest, Hungary... I've been there several times for work and will be going back for a week in November (this time to Mezokovesd - a short drive from Budapest). The people are friendly, the architecture and history is amazing and the women can be quite stunning The first time I went, by...
