Not a practice amp thread

I know i'm simply reiterating but the Peavey Vypyrs had me sold after the first chord I played. They're reliable, built tough, easy to use, and fucking rocking! I dig the heavy tone I get out of them.

I'm using a PSA.1.1 through a Carvin power amp into a Marshall cab. It sounds great and people compliment me on my Strat tones. I plug it into bass or PA cabs for bass. I've never had a problem except one part of the numbers display burnt out. I hear the Tech 21 amps are good. Les Paul used their 60 watt one when I saw him play in New York City.

Those are good but like many Peavey products, they look ugly. I've owned several Peavey amps and never had a problem.

I've posted before how I enjoy the Gallien-Kruegar 250ML (dual-50 watt stereo micro lead amp) had it since 86. It's the size of a breadbox. 100 watts.

I used that for every band audition I went on and I still own it.

I wish I still had my 1st amp, an old Fender Vibro-Champ. That thing sounded great.

Wow, it survived the rigors of 2 auditions!

I knew GK's are tough, but damn, that's incredible. You should write the company!

Great little amp. My buddy is loaning me his mid 50's Fender Champ to record with... :D

Vibro-Champ would be the perfect name for an electric sex toy.

I had both a blackface and a silverface vibrochamp, and I know you cannot play with a drummer using it.

This thread is to discuss amps above that range.

Bonzo the drummer looks like a heavy hitter. Your problem probaby lied with your fiddle player.


What shade of yellow did you paint your guitar with?

You can waste your time busting GAR's balls all you want, but he's right.

How is it volume wise ? My Fenders seem to get really loud really fast on the master knob. By the time it goes from 0 to 3 it's pretty much at full volume, and when I turn down to the volume I need it to be, it sounds like crap.

Check some of the amp mod forums on other sites. There's a mod to replace the Fender Hot Rod Deluxe's volume pot with a standard audio taper pot. The original is a linear taper pot that works great up to about 3 and then goes way too loud. I've played one modded this way and it was much more controllable. Plan to upgrade mine some time when I have the time... Another option is a volume box add on... also can be found on the Fender forums...

Here's a thread on it... http://www.fenderforum.com/forum.htm..._number=520526
