I used to have some sold state stuff...like a little peavey practice amp I loved to death. A rage?
Then I got a marshall valvestate. People hate on them, I really liked it. Was simple, fairly portable, sounded fine. I sold it to my brother in law. Hoping he doesn't hock it...
First head I owned was a behringer....I'd rather forget that.
First valve head I owned was a peavey, then I moved to a preamp....that was a peavey, too.
Them guys do good shtuffs.
Lately I've been hankering for an Ampeg SS-150. They seem priced ok, but shipping to here is brutes.
Was talking to Nick about maybe building a pre of the gain channel as a distortion pedal...he hasn't gotten back to me about that yet.
I still think it'd be cool.
Ry, your practice room always puts a smile on my face. It just looks like awesome town.
