1. You help the poor sucker who paid top dollar get some of his/her cash back.
2. You get a better deal
3. You choke the big company because they get nothing on used sales
win/win/win

An SE with upgraded pickups and bridge can be very nearly the level of an American PRS. A Torero might be a good job since it already has that stuff upgraded and is very much its own instrument, separate from the American models.The RWG 450 is no prs semi. It's got a great tone all its own but not in the same league as a prs. Still I love the body style and I like the tone that comes from it. Mostly I love the neck but I didn't when I first got it.
The Orange MT-20 Micro Terror is cool for the money, wattage, and convenience. Those new 25 watt Mesa Boogie Recto's look cool.It's funny all these guitars and I don't have a decent amp to play them through. The roland cube doesn't come alive till the volume is past 6 and anything after three the cops come knocking. I want a traynor. I used to have one when I was playing out years ago. And a butler tube driver amp. Hated the tube driver but it was more then sufficently loud enough to play anywhere. Loved the Traynor. Sold them both when I got into restaraunt management and kissed away live gigs.
sorry Eric, if you're on a budget you still cannot beat those little Frenzels with the one watt power tube. I see that even Marshall has similar now but they use two 12au7's instead of one like the Frenzel and the price is much higher. The Fenzel without a case with the hi-gain (Marshall voicing or Hi-watt) and the 12au7 power tube is $415...without the hi-gain it's $365.00. But I could be convinced to let my first one go for a good price (not hi-gain but does do hi-gain nicely with an OD but it does have the power tube) The Frenzels are about as loud as a Fender SS Frontman that comes with the Fender Squire packs or basically about as loud as the old little Gorilla amps use to beUncle E wrote:Sounds like he doesn't want his customers getting blues gigs.tapper mike wrote:A buddy of mine who owns a guitar store hates prs and hates gibsons... mostly because of the pricing structure.

Sure! The Orange MT-20's just a cheap thing (we sell B-Stocks for $120) and I agree that all the Terror amps are pretty limited in terms of versatility. They're cool if you're looking for a cranked JCM800 for cheap but not much else.Hink wrote:sorry Eric, if you're on a budget you still cannot beat those little Frenzels with the one watt power tube.

These days I'm finding that I really like the sound of big power tubes and big transformers, even when they're not cranked to saturation.
That Champ Pro looks rad, too. Given how much people depend on pedals these days, I'm kind of surprised that a super stripped down amp like that doesn't get more attention.Hink wrote:That's why I like the single ended super champ from Frenzel, big transformers, big tube (or small) but maxed out maybe 12 watts according to JF
Me, neither. I'm actually 100% satisfied with my Mesa Blue Angel. I'm going to ask Jerry (our in-house amp tech) to modify it to footswitch between my two favorite settings but that's about it, I love its sound the way it is and am not tweaking that.I didn't realize the micro terrors were that cheap, I haven't been keeping up with retail much these days because I am not in the market for any new amps right now, nor do I need any new guitars (not that that would stop me).
I haven't tried it yet but everyone who's bought it seems to be happy. He and his plugin developer have been really great to deal with, just as Rob was when we bought his mics before. His mic line seems to be growing pretty slowly, have you ever thought to get involved with him and help things along? I imagine he's too busy to put all his attention on this stuff.OT for a sec, just curious...I read where someone bought my cousin's plug from you (Rob) and I am just wondering if you have messed around with the plugin
I hope to set up a support forum him here at KvR for the plugin (a good word from you about KvR might help) as for his mics he did just release or is about to release a mic pre. The thing about Rob is his prices are great, I dont need a mic pre though.Uncle E wrote:That Champ Pro looks rad, too.

You'd probably love the Blue Angel.tapper mike wrote:I think we've reached a cultural divide here.
I like my amps Jazzy (not Roland JC) Cleaner (Acoustic, airy) and Bluesy in that order.
He probably would. There's a Blue Angel 4x10 combo for sale locally; it's tempting...Uncle E wrote:You'd probably love the Blue Angel.tapper mike wrote:I think we've reached a cultural divide here.

That's what I've got. Turn the bright switch on and the midrange down, it sounds like a Super Reverb. Turn the fat switch on and the midrange up, it sounds like Malcolm Young.ew wrote:He probably would. There's a Blue Angel 4x10 combo for sale locally; it's tempting...
