Just get the Champion 600. It's a Fender 5 watt tube amp without all the extraneous crap. 2 bills new, $75 or so used.

Nice, I'll have to check it out.

So The Grza came over with his new Tweed Deluxe that he built today. It was a kit from something like "Mojo Amps" or whatever. It sounds as nifty as it looks.









That Fuzzface came out sounding pretty fucking awesome too but I still like my Muff better.

*edit* Oh yeah! Say what you will about Crate and Vietnam but for the low low price of $150 (total) I will be getting this and this brand new because my homegirl works at Loud.

I've heard nothing very good about the Little Giant. It seems the Valve Junior is a better amp, but the Ant is cool.

[PaCrappa]

No big whoop. At that price if I don't like it I can just tear it apart and learn stuff. Maybe Frankenstein it into something decent. I mean it's a grand total of $150 for both.

[icarusfall]

Well yeah, but if you buy too much stuff you just end up with things that are never touched. Ever.

Have you rented out any of your stuff yet? How's the Bidness going?

[PaCrappa]

The Soldano is at Big Sound right now for the Holy Name Dropouts. So there's the first one. But the biz is obviously slow. Baby steps imo

[icarusfall]

Could you swing a good deal on another of those Ants if yours turns out cool?

[PaCrappa]

It's likely but I'll have to ask.

[icarusfall]

Please do, as $100 is far more attractive than $450 for the Z Vex Nano.

What is a good computer based drum machine program I can work with for starters? I know i should have a drummer for my band but those are hard enough for me to come by. Is there any standard, or are drum machines running through computers rare enough that no standard is used? I have powerful enough computer speakers now that they can handle the volume for what i need to do.

This is a cool thread... I'm going to have to go through all 17 pages and really read through this stuff when I can. Destin, I've found the BFD (Big Fucking Drums) program (for mac) to be really good for me. I run it as a midi program with Digital Performer.

I find the different distortion pedals everybody is using really informative... lately I have been sending a signal from the Boss Metal Zone pedal into an Ibanez tube screamer overdrive pedal. Using a Vox-AC15 amp and the burns Brian May guitar makes for some interesting sounds (yeah I'm a Queen fan).
