I don't think you could find Tokai anywhere here.

Send an email to them, perhaps they could get you the ZW model.

Fernandes's sister company Burny makes good Gibson copies too :

Forget about Gibson, unless it's pre-80s ones, imo.

Sh!t I just had a GAS on that yesterday!! The demo on their website makes it tempting!!!

Do the AC30, Fender & Plexi modelling sound good???? How much did ya get it for?

You're not joking, are you?

What a name!

Wow!

Exactly what I thought. The signal goes into a valve preamp before the solid state circuit.

Nonetheless, the clips posted on their website are tempting! Does anyone knows where to find this Vox amp? CKMusic?? I've tried the smaller version (30 watts I think) of Spider II and wasn't really impressed by the sound.

Woah... 1000 for 30watt?? Ishi's selling it for RM800+ inc shipping lol! If only the voltage problem could be solved!

Thanks for you offer, but I've runned out of cash, I'ill see what I can do end of this year . Considering the AD50VT tho since it has an external speaker out & giggy.

Did ya modify your amp?? I've read reviews citing the AD30VT's speaker has room for improvement.

If you have the cash... the Celestion Blue.
I'm considering the 50 since it comes with a Celestion speaker. Heh...

Eh, do you have any recording of the amp??

Yeah, Japanese site Ishibashi.

I've seen this one already hehe... they guy's bloody good! Lovely jazz blues licks! Thx anyway!

evo.com, it depends on the item you order but I doubt it should cost you a bomb. Around RM200 (including insurance) or more maybe? They use EMS to ship their stuff, which is very reliable.
Plus, their customer service's pretty good as far as I know.

Most of the Jap made stuff are cheaper, the rest's pretty much the same (or more).

LOL... just mail them with the title "International Question" & the right person will sort things out for you.
Till post-SPM, good luck with your GAS!

Heh... yup. If you have a relative/friend who's going to Japan & don't mind carrying a guitar, just ask the him/her to bring it back for you. Purchase a hard case & put some stickers (the older they look the better!) on it. Save you the shipping cost and 10% tax!

Wow looks great! It's a one-piece body right??? Not bidding for it?? The lovely white finish gives GAS hard-ons.

That's pretty much bullsh!t imo, you're gonna lose all the fun of playing and abuse your guitar if you get a high-end one. For a beginner, that's very important imo.

Oh I have such friends too, one of them went for a brand new Fender American Strat and a cheap Squire amp.

You see nerd... it's called the 'practise' amp, you weren't expecting it to sound like a 100-watt Marshall amp blasting behind you, are you? It's meant to be used for bedroom/midnight practise (Read : Low-volume) & maybe party/small gigs & that's what it does. Most practise amps are the same I think. Like my Peavey Blazer, the clean's great but the OD channel's almost unusable.

If you really want good tones on a small practice amp, I suggest you try out the Vox AD15VT. It comes with 11 amp models (Boutique Clean & OD, Tweed, Blackface, AC15, AC30TB, UK70s, UK80s, UK Modern, US High Gain, NuMetal) CK Music has it, it's probably a little more expensive but worth the bucks imo.

Well, just give it a try anyway & recommend it to other players.

Have you tried the clean channel on the Kustom? I'm not too sure about their amps, but if their clean channel's good, then it's bloody good.

Sh!t AD60VT... and only SPM trials. I wonder what you'ill get if you get 10As for the real SPM...

...Marshall stack??? OMG!!!! Just remember to invite us to your house for some jamming.

lol I beat you theWhacker, any prizes???

You see I studied everything last minute (Almost all the night before the actual exam) and got satisfying results. If you study much earlier and try your very best, 10A1s should be nothing for you, let alone 10As.

Then, of course... invite us for jamminglar!

The AD50VT's going for RM1200++ best price and the 60VT is much more expensive I think. Haha... I'm waiting for Ang Paus here haha. Let's visit each other to double our money. XD XD XD Not to forget ssslayerrr and ModD.

Behringer has a pretty good starter amp too. The clean tone on that one is extremely warm, the OD channel's pretty usable too.

I used my 15 watter for medium gigs and it worked fine lol! The AD50VT's good enough for small to medium gigs (After all, you're cranking the damn thing up!). In case you're playing in larger venues, just mic the thing up.

If you're still in doubt, the thing comes with a speaker output. Eg. If you want a true Marshall amp sound, just hook it up to one of those Marshall 4x12 cabs & voila!

Bedroom practises??? Turn to the back of the AD50VT and you'ill see an 'Adjustable Output Wattage' (Not available in the AD15VT tho). It saturates the poweramp's output wattage . In other words, it's a volume control. This means that you could crank the amp up at bedroom level. You don't have to substitute tone for volume now!!! Otherwise get a pair of headphones and plug it into the phones out. Your neighbours will love you.

I've done my homework Evo.com I've downloaded all the video clips, audio clips and even the manual from various places. If you guys want, I can upload as a torrent and post it here.

Oh yeah, the AD50VT has a hidden noise gate too. It's only touched lightly in the manual.

No joke. Remember our school hall? Suan Aik used his Peavey amps for all his gigs too. Sometimes he mic it up, sometimes he doesn't, but it was loud enough. But it won't sound as good as being mic'ed up. Then again you know our school's PA.

LOL I only check out that stuff I'm considering getting. I've tried the Line 6 30watt Spider and it has an impressive clean sound. The Metal setting's pretty good but I have no use for that. I tried the AD30VT but didn't find much love with it, determined to try that again!

Haha... my ears are not that goodlar... to my ears the Tweed, Black, Boutique Clean settings sound very very impressive (Blues guitarists will love this). I wasn't very sure about the rest, not much time to play with them that day. Though I've read reviews saying that the HiGain models are very impressive, especially the nu-metal settings which nail the scooped-mid sound perfectly.

nick_drake has the AD30VT, perhaps you should ask him for comments.

Do you want the clips? It won't take long for me to post.
