Which is loud? Blackstar ID60 or Blackstar HT-5R 5watt head with 2x12 100w cabinet?

[Ralph_Petrucci]

Good afternoon po.

Currently deciding between the Orange Micro Terror and the Blackstar HT-1. I mainly play at home pero thinking of joining a band. Alin po sa dalawa mas maganda for home practice and jamming with a band pag connected sa 1x12 cab?

Thanks 

kung combo lang yung option mo for the blackstar, i'd suggest go for the Micro Terror. the micro terror with a 1X12 cab will be usable for jams and small gigs na. the HT-1 Combo will no bt usable for a gig due to the small speaker. you might be heard, but your tone will lack lows.

ibanez artwood AC-240 or phoebus pg40??

both are nice, solid topped guitars. best thing to do is to test and find out which one calls to you.

[Ralph_Petrucci]

Phoebus pg 40c or amari 4088c?

basing on tests, i'd go for the PG40. so far, wala pa akong natest na AMARI na talagang napa-wow ako. mejo lacking in low end ang amari which is what I look for in an acoustic.

Ako naman may question...


BOGNER UBERSCHALL or CATALINBREAD DLS?


I tested the DLS and loved it, but it's definitely not for shreding. anyone with an Uberschall here?

ang phoebus guitars usually okay na for use kasi sinesetup ni GP yun before selling. i would not advise the dnd as it sounds very thin IMHO.

Thanks Sir Ralph! I got the Micro Terror and the PPC 108 kanina and I'm having so much fun with this awesome half-stack. Salamat po sa immediate response!

Which is loud? Blackstar ID60 or Blackstar HT-5R 5watt head with 2x12 100w cabinet?

Id60

[mysmileyface]

Id60

What about if I connect the HT-5 to a 4x12 cab, is the ID60 still more loud?

If you have a 1x12 cab and a 4x12 cab which are loaded with the same speakers, the 4x12 cab will sound bigger; more like a "surround sound". But not essentially louder than the 1x12 because they have the same speaker (with the same decibel and efficiency, etc). It's still a 5-watt amp driving those speakers.

On the other hand, the ID60 would be around 60 watts of power driving its speakers. More clean headroom as you turn up the volume.

I've tried turning an HT-5 combo at full volume, even tried plugging it to my 2x12. It was really loud for a 5-watt amp, but still tolerable when you're quite near.

I have not tried the ID60 at full volume but a few friends use them at gigs without mic'ing, so I guess it can deliver on it's own the (clean) volume needed at those loud applications.

How about in jam practices, can the HT-5 do the work well with a loud hitting drummer on acoustic drums?

Volume-wise, it can. Pero if you need clean headroom and your guitar has humbuckers or hot single coils, the amp would start to break up a bit.

[glassjaw_jc]

Would you recommend a Goldea amp? Is it a decent amp? I'm looking at the AT-50.

TIA!

Okay, noted. Thanks.

Just in case anyone has an idea...

Would anyone know the difference (tone, voicing, circuitry) between the Wylde Overdrive and Berzerker Overdrive? Both MXRs and Signature ODs of Zakk Wylde.

Thanks!

TIA!

Only had experiences with the AT-15, AT-30, AT-100, TNT-B

so far, i loved how these amps sound. and they are reliable and gig worthy as well. im guessing the AT50 will be as good.

[glassjaw_jc]

Thanks!

I just got the Concord CD3 today. It feels so good, and I am happy about it.
