First!
wow not bad spam so many posts!
+1

must
spam
more

wow, 519, thats time 7 times more than my posts

I've only got 2 post, which means i need to spam even more to climb the ladder?

Btw any one bought an amp from US before ? From what i've gathered, their voltage is 110v and ours is 230v. So do i really need a transformer or any one in Msia can modify the original transformer in the amp itself to 230v?

I am considering the Epiphone Valve Jr or the Fender Champ 600 couple with a TS808 or TS9 pedal. Any comments on those equipments?

there is such a thing as 'export model' which you can request.

Thanks for the info, I'll try and ask them if they have any export version, btw i am getting them from Musicians Friend.

Also i hope the Epi Valve Jr lives up to its expectation.

musicians friend do not ship to a non-US address.
unless you have a friend there whos willing to get it and send it over here.

Yeah i know but my parents and brother is going to the US for 3 weeks to help him settle down there, when they come back they'll bring it back for me.

Btw heard you are the Epi/Gibson pro here, have you heard anything about 59SR and 60ST pickups? Couldnt dig much info from Google, all i know is that they are Alnico 5 and my neck PU seems louder than my bridge PU, have any clue why its behaving as such ?

they're modelled after gibson's 490/498 combo.
by current gibson standards, they're nothing great, but still good.

neck pu louder? uhhh then drop the neck pu height, increase bridge pu height etc.
else, your bridge pu might not be wired properly, coil dying, pot dying etc.

wow i have 3 posts!!!

.... make that 4

Ok, some one needs to transfer the user bars. Can someone please do that?

Also, For amps, I don't think it's as easy as plugging it into a transformer and let 'er rip. Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't your amp blow up if you plug it into a transformer?

I know it sounds tempting..... believe me..... I KNOW...... I was at Guitar Center in US and could get a full tube amp for around RM2000 (Think Randall) and could EASILY ship it back via Fed-Ex or whatever..... but then when you think you need to modify the power voltage to fit our standards and all that..... it gets really expensive AND troublesome quickly.....

So...... FYI.

Anyway, Let's ALL Call up to harass Swee Lee and see if they can bring in the Epi Valve amps!

wah, my spam went up so high.

dam you beat me by 35 posts
lol

nice lets keep this going
XD

i can't spam much anymore...no connection in office just got back from office...need to go back in another 30minutes...

lol, how did u count teh spam quantity, blacktrix?
is there any generator which do that?

+1 for meh!

No. It should not. A transformer should be able to "transform" our 230/240V electricity to 110V as required by the "US amp". ie the electricity flowing from the transformer into the amp should be 110V
