Hey,

I'm regretting having my amp now... my amps a smarvo 40 watt amp with 2 channels ( boost and normal channel ) . I dunno how to explain this but i wanna have gain ,shape and presence while using the normal channel so tht i can adjust the treble and all tht . Is there a way to do this or do i have to get effects ?

What effects are good? should i get zoom G2 or just a distortion pedal ?

Why don't you try out an 8 or 10 band equalizer? But the Smarvo is a tube, innit? You'll have to play it at MAX volume to get the best out of those tube amps man.

Also, I think it's based on the JCM800 when you're looking for more of a Mesa/Boogie.

If that's the tone you want, you should just stick in a Metal Zone pedal there and be done.

Not all Smarvo's are full tubes I think.
And they copied the TSL/DSL JCM2000 series if I remember correctly.

so in order to get gain while using normal channel , i'll have to get a pedal?


Added on December 18, 2007, 9:42 pmwhat guitar effects should i get?

should i get those single effect pedals ( flanger , delay , etc ) one by one or just get a multi effects pedal?

my budget for first pedal is probably around rm300 , and looking at the Zoom G2 and pocket Pod right now . which one is better?
