Depends on which guitar, how good the friend, what's the occasion and what will he do if he would damage it......
Only my closest of closest of friends will get the privilage... And ONLY if it's for a wedding or similar occassion. Battle Of The Bands does NOT cut it..... And I'll loan out the guitar that I least play.... And you should have a signed agreement about how he/she would cover the lost if anything does happen to the guitar. |

QUOTE(blacktrix @ Aug 12 2006, 09:20 AM) Hey there jesusfreak88.... thnx 4 replyin my problem,yah is helped me in some matters...but my Marshall wen use d OD oso didnt come any xpected results,as how d behringer would...d sound not dat "oomph"...yes i did pressed d OD button...Can i use hot head on both my amps,First thing of all...... I'm not sure if you know this...... but turning everything up WON'T provide distortion....... For your Behringer, try these settings...... Low: 10, Mid: 3, High: 8 Then crank the Gain to 10, AMP switch to Calif or British, MODE switch to Hi-Gain or Hot, and Speaker to UK..... As for the Marshall, this is gonna sound stupid, but did you press the OD select button on??? Remember...... all the controls are on the Overdrive setting..... so Gain crank to full, and for Conture, about 4 should be fine. That is probably the most distortion you can get from your amps..... Normally, if you wanted a heavier distortion, I would recommend you to buy a distortion pedal like the BOSS DS-1 Distortion or the Digitech Hot Head...... BUT..... your amps are really low-watt and you probably still won't get good sounds anyway....... I would suggest you live with your current setup.... and if you're REALLY serious about playing, consider investing in a better amp like the Vox AD30 or AD50..... They arn't THAT expensive, but for the price, it's one of the best sounding amps there is..... hope that helps.  im not gonna use d amps 4 concert o watlah,juz 4 my leisure onli...not thinkin of gettin any new amps o guitars,coz dis current 1,is bout 2 weeks ol onli...how muc does d Vox AD30 n d AD50 cost,plz... thnx  |

ok......... let me put it to you in layman's terms......
your amp distortion sucks..... That's the BEST you're gonna get from your distortion already.... like I said, even if you put a distortion pedal in front of it (it will work on any amp), it's still gonna suck.... If you like, borrow a distortion pedal from a friend and try it out..... make sure you turn OFF your distortion on your amps when you try the pedals. A small vox AD15 amp should cost around RM600 while the bigger AD50 is around RM1300.... the AD30 should be somewhere between..... Even though you're not playing concerts or whatever..... it's important you have a sound that you like...... |

For the Dime-O-Flame:
* Mahogany body * Set mahogany neck * Bound rosewood fretboard * Dimebucker at the bridge * Humbucker at the neck * Floyd Rose Licensed trem * Dimebag traction knobs And the kerry king: * Maple body and neck * Rosewood fingerboard * 24 jumbo frets * 25-1/2" scale * Large diamond inlays * Widow headstock * EMG-HZ humbucking pickups * Licensed Floyd Rose double-locking tremolo bridge If I buy the Kerry King, I would have to get the Kerry King EMG set...... and add another Passive EMG to my collection!!!!!! But I MIGHT be tempted with the RR3:  * Alder body with flamed maple top under transparent finishes * Bolt-on maple neck * Seymour Duncan JB (bridge) and Jazz (neck) pickups * Compound-radius rosewood fretboard * Sharkfin inlays * 25-1/2" scale * 22 jumbo frets * 1-11/16" nut width * Floyd Rose-licensed double-locking tremolo * Volume, volume, tone, three-way * Black hardware I'm really looking for a V with a Floyd Rose trem..... but the Dimebag is too good to pass up This post has been edited by blacktrix: Aug 13 2006, 10:19 AM |

The Kerry King would be the MOST expensive...... the Dime and RR3 goes for 799USD while the Kerry King goes for 899USD.... and then I would have to spend another 200USD on the pickups......
Eek...... now to think about it..... I think I will have to choose between the Dime and the RR3..... And what's the diff between a regular trem and a double-locking trem? This post has been edited by blacktrix: Aug 13 2006, 10:28 AM |
