thanks people,

but i heard that marshall will not sound good when its getting heat up due to long jam session....

and the vox is hard to take care of the electronics, like line 6 amps?

whats ur opinion?

ive tested the ashton, sounds good, anyone using this amp? gimme some review...

and how about the fender? no one voting for fender amps?

hmm...anyone know the price of that peavey studio pro 112???

i like the idea of 2 different amps...
so far i can see most ppl prefer vox and marshall.....
1 thing i want to know, that vox amp is using tube???

my friends also mostly prefer marshall,
but some of the pros dont recommend marshall as it will blow when its getting hot~
some others asking me to get the peavey...
and mostly ask me to avoid laney....
this is based on reviews and guitarist friends..

hmmm...i was supposed to book the fender today, haha...
looks like i will have to change my mind....
fender really that sucks ah?

i think ill go for all roland cube series amps biggrin.gif , guitars and bass..
tried them yesterday, owh it sounds awesome!
anyone have other opinion, speak it out before i buy them~ biggrin.gif

so the current plan for my setup are :
roland amps with boss foot switch.
sx pirate series guitars and bass
wharfedale p.a system.
pearl drums with evans skin and sabian/headliner cymbals.
and might be using my pearl joey jordison snare or ill but a new tama picollo...depends... hehe~

hmm....

ok as far as i can see, there's not much difference in price between the roland cube60, vox valvetronix and a marshall, the roland is even cheaper than a vox 50w....

i dont know much about guitar stuff,
but for the few weeks, ive been moving around to guitar stores, testing almost all brands of combo amps available, and the best sound that i heard is from the roland, and plus, the interface is very user friendly...and its cheap, easy to handle, small yet powerful...
and it received a rating of 9.3 from ultimate-guitar.com....and 9.0 rating from harmony-central.com........
while vox valvetronix is 8.7 and mg100dfx is 8.6...

oh and my budget is only for a small studio for jamming,
i cant afford tube amps yet la bro tongue.gif

hmm...roland amps really not that good ah?
but every guitarist i met are looking for roland jazz chorus, they even willing to pay high price for a 2nd hand jazz chorus...and that guitar technician from js dont even wanna sell it to people.......

im learning, sorry~ biggrin.gif




or maybe ill stick to my previous plan? a cube60 and a valvetronix~

bman,
oh man, i guess u are wrong about the cube60.
i just bought 2 units, and yesterday i take it to the studio for a test run,
i connect it to a marshall cabinet,
i gotta tell u guys, this amp sounds superb!!!!
even the line 6 head and cab next to it doesn't sound that great!
and my guitarist and other guitarist there love it so much!
my guitarist don't even take out his stompboxes, he absolutely love the preset amps!
this amp rocks!! and we are going to use it during gigs~
underpowered u said, and not practical for gigging?
then plug it to a speaker cabinet, or u can directly output it to monitor, or a simple solution, mic it!! biggrin.gif

i recommend this amp for users who's looking for cheap price , small portable size, great sounds, a super easy user friendly interface, and great functions with a 'roland' quality! biggrin.gif

it can serve all kind of tunes, from jazz, to 70's to 90's, and to even metal!
