My next amp, GAS on full tilt

Postby surfnorthwest » 23 Jun 2010, 13:43

After exploring the power scaling technology I have decided that it is going to be best to get a amp that already has the design built into the amp instead of the mod. This is my next amp and I think you will agree it is a sweet one too. Comes in a 18 watt or 30 watt version. Full tilt gas on this one.

Yea, both Faze & I have stumbled across that amp in the past. Only thing wrong with it is the price.

Here's another one to consider, Reinhardt. These are available with power scaling as well.

Man you are killing me, I like that amp even a little more (thanks). The layout and tone seems more aggresive. Bottom line I really need to get a 18 watt amp for the studio and should have a long time ago. I will look into to this one also and get something later this summer. Probably best to leave the Metro alone, it is what it is.

Surf,

You may be looking for more of a crunchy sound, but how about this - with your ES? Got an attenuator built in too.

LOL, I love that video with the guy playing the ES. It's like the note he played was electricuting him! :scared
