New Amp

by **Metal Iain** on Mon Aug 20, 2007 12:17 pm

Just got me one of these bad boys this morning:

Just played, like, the whole of Bonded By Blood on it and can't wipe the smile off my face!

So long, shitty Marshall!

Mmmm Engl..

Nice, how much did it set you back?

by **Metal Iain** on Mon Aug 20, 2007 12:56 pm

£750

I've seen it going for cheaper than that but I couldn't really be bothered waiting about to get it. I had £1, 000 for an amp and Guitar Guitar are selling Mesa Boogie Rect-o-Verbs for £1, 000. I tried one but it really was no where near the sound I was looking for.

Some money can go into a guitar fund now too.

Nice choice ENGL's are the shit.

Yeah, I've heard those amps are pretty fucking good.

Yeah, the main problem with the Mesa Boogie was it was STUPIDLY bass-heavy. The distortion I'm getting from the amp is roughly comparable to Gary Holt's tone on the Another Lesson In Violence.

Sexual, that tone was fucking killer.

Does anyone have a Jackson DK2M? If so, opinion?

I've played one, it was very 'square' and 'plasticy' if that makes sense. Good playability but it was just lacking in a feel of build quality and meatiness. A guitar that you would happily have a jam on every now and again but definitely not a guitar you could really love playing.

Yeah, I played one yesterday and noticed the shit trem within second too. I want a Kramer Baretta Reissue but no where stock them.

:wall:

aye iains amp is killer, such a nice tone!!!

by **Metal Iain** on Wed Aug 22, 2007 8:53 pm

Way nicer than yours anyway. Mind you, I've heard foot and mouth culls that sounded better than Amok.

WIN! I dunno if mine's the DK2M though... what country are they made in???

I changed my Jacko cheap trem for a Jacko decent trem, got it off the net for £80 new and it's the best Floydy I've used!!!

I've been checking out Peavey V-types. Look like good axes for the money.
