The new marshall MG series aint bad. Check out the valvestates also.

I hear a lot of negative comments about the L6 spiders.

Magkano budget mo sir?

try Peavey Envoy (10k+), Laney LX65(10k +), Laney CUB10(9k+), Vox Pathfinder 15R(6k+), Marshall MG30(11k-14k)
 
Depende din sa drummer at sa band setup baka kasi malunod ka kung mababa watts.  :-D

Playing Metal for garage, the drummer will always overflow you. Minimun requirement is 65watts rms. Any amp with fx friendly and has clean response at higher volume settings, will do.

Peavey Vypyr 75! Di ka na mabibiitin. The 30 will do daw in a small setting, di daw nasasapawan.

Post by: burnthyfret on January 03, 2010, 12:44:32 PM
kumuha ka nalang ng malakas na amp, a minimum of 10" speaker/s tapos rely ka nalang sa pedals mo to get the metal sound. unless kun talagang afford mo yun mga "metal amp" so to say. :wink:

Dapat nga nasa 65watts pataas ang kukunin mo. No use ang 15-30watts, ang nipis ng tunog mo nun.

If all tube amp, this won't be true.

Kapag solid state, yes.

+1. a 10 watt tube amp would be as loud as a 100W solid state. but, you get less headroom. there it is again, headroom.  :lol:

go with the Peavey..not the marshall MGs, unless it's the newer ones, but i doubt if they'll sound a lot better than the old ones. :-)

what??  :? :? OT na ito, but anyways, you used the word patch, so i would assume naka multieffects pedal ka. adjust the patch level para mag pantay yung level ng clean at drive patches mo.....

baka naman sinet mo na same level talaga, example 50 for the clean, 50 for the dirt patch. naturally magiging mas malakas ang isa... try mo babaan nalang yung clean patch volume.

Benta mo na yang amp mo. Bili ka ng 150 watts na Spider IV.

in low volume nakaset ung clean ko na mas mahina sa OD ko, but everytime i play on stage and raise the volume of my amp, mas malakas pa ung clean ko kesa sa OD ko when i switch to one patch.
