« on: September 24, 2016, 08:55:17 PM »
Anyone got an amp made from china i mean those cheap brands like davis and global amps
Anyone tried them?? How long have you been able to use until it finally bugged down??

Im eyeing a solid state davis 100 watt amp from facebook it is just real cheap
It costs more or less 5k. Any thoughts on this amp?? See pics in carlsys trading page in facebook..

Are they worth it? Let me work it, i put my thing down flip it and reverse it...

Ok seryoso na  :-D kung mura at pang extra amp lang pwede na din. Meron ako gtx 60watts na nabili ko sa 1k yun ginagamit ng mga pinsan ko pang praktis.

worth it? how to define it?

for me, worth it is when i, as a buyer and as a user, is satisfied with the item. regardless of where it is from or made.

china made amps or guitars are good as long as the mother company does not originate in china. one good example is the vox ac30c2. made in china but the sound and quality is top notch.

out of bounds? we are not playing basketball here dude. out of context perhaps.  :lol:

anyhow, you might want to change your title into..."are global and davis amps worth buying?"

agree? and btw, next time you want to ask something, it would be better if you ask it here:

if makakapag tiis kang makapag ipon muna para makabili ng mas maayos na amp mag tiistiis muna. kung walang choice at yun lang talaga budget mo ok na din kesa wala. yung first amp namin ng kapatid ko Rage Amp (ipong aginaldo nung pasko) :) sounds better kumpara sa kareoke :)
Kapag merong tanong o ikay naguguluhan igoogle mo

mas pwede to kesa sa choice mo brader. pero kung kaya mo pa magtiis at mag-ipon, go. wag impulse buy, think of long term investments sa mga gears mo.  :)

Depende sa purpose mo ng pagbili.

kung gusto mo lang ng something na tumutunog lang, tipong panginuman lang, kahit mabasa o ma-sipa or what not eh siguro puede na yan. (pero you will always end up mooorreee.)

pero kung ang aim mo ay pang-jam talaga with full band set (with drummer) then it wont cut it.

Meron akong global mg15 na di katulad ng mga lumabas ngayon, mukha siyang cube,  so far okay naman siya pag gusto mo lang talaga magpatunog ng gitara and pag gabi na ayaw mo ma istorbo ng husto anak mong natutulog... Pero habang tumatagal mararamdaman mo na lang na ang hirap niya itweak and hindi mo na magaya gaya yung tone na gusto mo, madalas bitin na bitin talaga...  kaya you will end up looking for more just like what Skrumian said...

not worth it. once you buy it, you wont be able to sell it, unless you price really really low.

better get a stagg instead.

+1 gaya nga nung una kong reply binili ko yung gtx 60watts amp for 1k sa ganitong purpose. Yung tipong pang inuman or pang praktis ng mga bata or substitute or extra amp.

ako nga gamit ko ung washburn amp na 15w. 6 na taon na. hnd ko parin napapalitan kasi walang pampalit. made in china un pero tumagal ng gnun. oo crappy ung tunog compared sa mga boogie at marshall pero kung worth ang usapan oo naman. di lahat ng nilalang pinagkalooban ng maraming pera hahahaha. ang bitter ko.

tama ung sinabi nila na depende sa pag gagamitan, kung inuman amp, pde na. pero kung stage amp, d pde un. kelangan ng mas malaking budget.  :wave:
