Zendrive o Ethos?

Ethos. sky's the limit naman ang budget mo eh. 

[r_chino18]

Hahahaha... Those options were based on the one available sa Classified ads na pasok ng konti sa budget ko. Nolan's VHT or gitarakista's Goldea AT-15... 

Go for a better tube amp with around 20-30 watts..

Aba eh kuha na! 
Sinwerte lang ako ng may AC15 sa classifieds dati na maganda ang price. Hindi ko na pinakawalan. 

Onga eh!! Hahaha.. Alam ko kwento niyan.. Kung black lang yan, ako na kumuha niyan.. hahaha!

[mother_earth!]

Sirs,

pag same size ng speaker let's say 12 inches, whats the difference between head and cab vs combo?

[nickson]

Ethos. sky's the limit naman ang budget mo eh. 

Iniisip ko kasi kung anong i-reregalo ko sayo birthday boy Maxi hihi. Pili na.. pedal... o ako? LOL. 

Hahahaha...

Seriously... Ethos ano? Kung versatility din lamang naman pag-uusapan.

Can't use it sa bahay na din kasi. Even a 5 watter is loud enough na din siguro. Gusto ko kasi marinig yung tube saturation at lower volume levels. I don't know. Ano advice mo Chino?

other than being stuck with a certain cabinet size (combo) and the option to easily plug into other cabs (head), let's say you have a studio and you want to try different head-cab size combinations (cab size is a BIG part of your tone, an unmounted speaker will sound like a can of bees) or head-speaker combination, mas madali kung head + cab. For gigs naman less hassle pag combo, pero you're stuck with that cab size.

Baka di mo masyado ma-appreciate yan sa low-watt tube amp.. Yung AC4TV ko dati, pag naka 1/4-watt mode at nakapush ang volume para mag overdrive siya, minsan mas gusto ko pa mag Maxon OD9 nalang sa as malaking amp.. Mas ok pa tunog..

Wala na to diba? O baka may bago ka? Dibs.

Wala na sir.. Pero fave na tubescreamer-style pedal ko yun.. 

[maxi_musikero]

Onga eh!! Hahaha.. Alam ko kwento niyan.. Kung black lang yan, ako na kumuha niyan.. hahaha!

may black na binenta kasabay nito eh! pero eto kasi yung unang bumaba yung presyo kaya kinuha ko na agad. hihihi!

aba siyempre ikaw! hindi ko ipagpapalit sa kahit anong pedal ang bonding moments with you.

Really, salamat sa payo. Whew, nakaka excite kasi minsan, nagkaka impulse buying ako tuloy. Halos parehas kayo ng comment ng kaibigan ko na may AC4TV head and cab. Di niya daw ginagamit yung 1/4 watt kasi naco-compromise yung tone. And also keeping up with the drummer, eh wala na masyadong headroom kasi 12 inch speaker pa yung cab niya...  The blackstar ht-5 sana. Medyo out of budget... Tempting din yung kay Alvintrism... Parang may feeling ako na may interest ka nun...

Ok naman yung AC4TV as a practice amp or parang laru-laruan amp... Pero don't expect too much from it as a mainstay amp.

Kaya nung 1-watt mode (pushed and overdriven) na sumabay sa drummer.. Yung AC4TV combo (1x10) ko dati, kaya eh.. Pero indoor lang sa bahay, saka boxy na talaga yung tunog.. Pero kung overall volume lang ang pag-uusapan, kaya.. Pero kung clean headroom ang hanap mo, look for something else.. 

How much pala budget mo para sa tube amp?

[tonwins11]

9K max including shipping dito sa amin... I'm selling my MG30 soon to give way on something else worthy.  Bryanarz recommends me a Blackstar...

Hmm.. Yeah, an HT-5 would be nice sounding.. Pero di na siya pasok sa budget mo.. Medyo mahirap makahanap ng tube amp na ok talaga with that budget bro..

Hi All,
Help me pick a guitar between Epiphone SG G-400 or Ibanez RG/RGA. I'd like to play metal songs with tones of Black Sabbath, Slayer, Pantera. But also would like the guitar to have some clean bluesy tones like the planet caravan, ledzep.

My budget is P25K max with the "basbas"  from my wife   

I've inquired na sa GuitarPusher, and would like to try the EPI SG Worn, or the Tony Iommi SG. But a friend luthier is suggesting that I get an Ibanez RG. Tumingin ako sa Audiophile AliMall pero hindi lang ako gaano nakapagtanong maige, parang busy sila nung oras na yun.

SG for me para Tony Iommi ang dating! Pero try mo parin dapat...

Yes, I'd like to try the SG. I've read on the issue na may neck dive ang SG. For the RG, I've owned an RG350 before and didn't like the sound. Sabi ng friend ko, RG 500 series daw ang hanapin ko.

regarding neck dive, yes it's true - may SG G400 ako. Ang remedy diyan kelangan mo lang ng magandang strap yung kakapit sa damit. I haven't tried ibanez rg series yet. let's wait for other comments...

For 25k? You can get a second hand ibanes rg prestige MIJ, far more better than epiphone sg's abang ka lang sa classifieds...

Or try mo din esp ltd's....

I say try the SG. Classy and versatile. Looks cool as well. Like techbp mentioned a good strap is all you need for the neck dive concern.

Gitarakista just made a price drop of his Goldea AT-15 which tempts me to buy it but I think some other got interested of it. Ang hirap ng maging isang buyer from Visayas. Nauunahan lagi.

Pag napanuod mo demo ni Ael sa youtube baka mapa Goldea ka.

That's what I'm thinking also, RG is better. Pero the LOOKs of the SG is more astig! 
I have an LTD  na reverse headstock parang Kirk Hammet model, which I always use. I also have a fender start, pero hindi bagay pang metal. Gusto ko magkaron pa ng fixed bridge guitar kaya I'm looking for another guitar.
