Questions & Answers
Question : Death Metal Amp Settings?
I've just bought a Line 6 150 watt stack and I'm trying to go for a melodic death metal sound, like Norther, Dark Tranquility, Ensiferum, Karmah. All those sorts of bands. Distorted but you can hear the notes. Can anyone help me with the settings for the amp. Here's the options available.Amp Models:CleanTwangBluesCrunchMetalInsane.Drive 1-10Bass 1-10Mid 1-10Treble 1-10Reverb 1-10
Answer:
It might be hard to get a really good tone, because Line 6s are "modeling amps"; they try to emulate other amps' sounds with their internal processor, sometimes with more success than others.Anyway, on to settings...For amp model, I'd suggest (surprise!) Metal. The Crunch model may work as well, but it's better for Hard/Grunge Rock type stuff.You should be able to get a bit more distortion by turning up your drive knob. You can play with reverb if you like; some guitarists really like a bit of it in their sound, it's up to you.A lot of metal guitarists go for a tone known as "scooping your mids" - bass and treble cranked, mids turned down. This sounds good when you're playing by yourself, but not as good in the context of a full band. With these EQ settings, your guitar competes with the cymbals in the higher frequency range, and the sound is a lot muddier because of your boosted lows + the bass guitar. Mids are actually the most important frequency to get right; since our ears are naturally attuned to hear those frequencies better, that's where you'll get the "punch" of your tone - cutting through the mix. It takes some balance though; too little Mids, and your sound is empty; too much, and it's mushy.Play around a bit and find out what works for you; hopefully that helps a bit.Cheers! =)

Question : Bass amps? Half stacks and the sort....?
http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/GallienKrueger-Brat-Pack-HalfStack-Bass-Amp-Package?sku=48254 6that bass amp above has very mixed reviews, do you know of any that are similar?i'm beginning to vaguely look in what would be a good amp for a small jam session... i currently have a 30W which is decent, but it has a slight buzz at loud volumes.... I want something which I could play without overheating/overpushing as jam/practice and small gigs...... i need to be heard along with a full drumset and possibley 2 guitars and vocals.... i really have no clue where to turn when looking at larger amp stacks/combos.i'm a small person, so i think that a half stack (head and cab) might be better than a large heavy combo? suggests, advice, links, whatever you want to say if you're a fellow bass player or in a band? THANK YOU! =]
Answer:
That amp looks pretty nice for some jam sessions and the kind of stuff you seem like you want to do. Really though, do not buy an amp online before you've played one in real life. You have to make sure its really the one you want. So go to your local guitar shop or GC and play any amp that catches your interest. You may want to ask someone there about it to make sure it gets loud enough and all of that kind of stuff.

Question : Can a guitar amp head be used with no cab?
Im in the market for a new amplifier and I'm looking into buying a half stack of some sort but I'm wondering if I need the cabinet to use the head?
Answer:
Typically, a head will be the 'amp', and the cab will be a box with speakers in it.You will need both.However, if your smart, you can get away with various types of speakers and enclosures, it is not necessary to buy a particular cab with any amp. However, you do have to make sure the output impedance of the amp matches the full input impedance of your speakers - but that is a whole new ball of wax.

Question : Difference in wattage from guitar combo amps to stacks?
I've always played combo amps. Crate, Fender, Marshall, and others. I've always sort of put the wattage as a meter of how loud the amp could be (and still sound good in some cases). Now that I am thinking about investing in a stack, I'm lost. I see expensive heads that are 5 watt, 15 watt... it seems like the rules for combo amps don't apply to stacks. Could someone explain a little to help out?
Answer:
Hello there,Thumbs up to LucasMan. Absolutely great answer. I would like to add a couple things.With a combo amp, the power rating of the amp and the speakers will be close. For instance a 40 watt amplifier with speaker(s) that can handle say 50 watts. So if you buy that 40 watt combo amp you know you are running 40 watts of power. Some folks get confused with heads and speaker cabs. THey see a 5 watt head and think if they get a 200 watt speaker cab, they get more power. Not so. You will only have 5 watts with that head no matter what speaker cab you use. The power rating on the speaker cab merely tells you the maximum load it can safely handle. You need to know that when you match your head to the speaker cab. You don't want to play a 100 watt head through a 50 watt speaker cab. That will likely blow the cones out of the speakers. On the other hand running a 5 watt head through a 200 watt speaker cab will probably not sound very good because the head does not have enough power to drive the speaker hard enough for optimium sound. You want to keep your speaker cab to around 1.2 to 1.5 that of the head.In my opinion tube amps are louder than solid state. I suppose some engineer can come along and explain how that is not possible. But to me a 40 watt tube amp sounds louder than a 40 watt solid state amp. I played a black face Fender Bandmaster for years. It was only 40 watts, but it was loud. I completely agree that power rating has no direct connection to sound quality. What you will likely find is that a higher power amp may have better sounding speakers. The speakers are probably why you think the higher power amp still sounds good cranked. Better speakers sound better than cheaper ones.There are cheap 5 and 15 watt tube amps. There are expensive ones. The expensive ones are probably bouquet type amps, hand point to point soldered connections. I cannot think of an expensive 5 or 15 watt solid state amp. Actually the rules for combos do apply to stacks. Many heads are also available in a combo configuration. It is the same amplifier. In the combo the speaker is in the samp cabinet. In the stack. the speaker(s) are in a separate cabinet. That is the only difference.There is more to the power rating of an amplifier than just how loud it can get. It takes more power to handle the load from gain and distortion than most newer players realize. That is why a small combo amp does not sound as good with distortion and gain as does a 1x12 combo amp. Tubes are different, but for solid state, I think you need more than 20 watts for gain and distortion. Otherwise the amp runs out of head room.Later,

Question : Choosing an amp.?
So i play guitar for my heavy metal band and i'm looking forward to purchasing a new amp. My current best bet would be the new Line 6 Valve 212 for 830$. It's very versatile and with a foot switch i wouldn't need any other pedals because its extremely versatile. It was designed with assistance from bogner so you know its good. 2x 12 inch 40 watt speakers. For a price around 800 would anyone be able to suggest something better? Keep in mind i really do not want a stack or half stack of any sort. Just a nice high gain heavy output amp that isn't ginourmous.
Answer:
I personally think the Line 6 models suck, even if they were "designed by bogner!" I finally had a chance to demo their lastest offering at my local music store and was actually expecting to hear some decent tones.I did hear some okay stuff... but it sounded remarkably like the 10-watt or whatever model that my buddy has. I mean, the tone is almost identical. The biggest difference was that it was ungodly LOUD. Like, stupid loud. Ridiculously overvoiced.So, no, I'm still not a big fan of Line 6.What you want to sound good is a tube amp. Yes, the Line 6 has tubes, but it doesn't sound like it. Find a real tube amp and play through it for a few minutes and you'll hear the difference!The first link below is to a Kustom. I strongly urge you to find one, if you can, and play through it before you buy a Line 6. Now, you're spending just as much for a 1x12, but the difference is that this baby has TONE. You get a range of tones from sparkly clean to grungey to thick distortion. It's not really voiced for death metal, but if you put an EQ in front of it and tweak a little you should be able to nail it. High output pickups will help you there.The second option is a little higher than your price range, but is another sweet alternative to Line 6. Randall has this modular system, where you can actually swap out the preamp section of your amp to completely change your tone. Metallica is using it on their new album, Linkin Park is using it extensively on tour... again, it's a smaller amp, but you would probably be surprised how bloody loud it *could* get if you wanted it to. And if you want a new amp... well, just buy a new preamp section, and you get a whole new amp to play with.I guess what I'm trying to say is that you *could* pay for a fake tube amp with a bunch of digital-sounding effects, or you could plunk down your coin for an amp that will sound *good*.It's your choice.I totally understand the whole not wanting to have a bunch of pedals and crap in front of your amp, though. The route I've gone now is getting one of the Boss GT-3's... and it sounds incredible going into my Mesa, much better than I ever expected it to. Using a multifx can definitely be a compromise between convenience and tone quality, but if you're going to make that compromise, don't do it by getting a Line 6... do it in a way that can be upgradable in the future.Good luck!Saul

Question : Which of these amps would you choose for metal?
Okay, so i've been playing guitar for 11 years now, and have only just joined a band. We're booking local gigs and researching producing an ep later this year. My little Vox amp no longer cuts it, especially in the post hardcore/metalcore genres that we play in so i'm looking at getting a new amp. I'm leaning towards a half stack as opposed to a combo, and these are what i've found so far. I should also mention that i'm working on a VERY tight budget, so with that said, which of the following would you choose?Blackstar HT5RS (with some sort of pedal to push it into more metal territory)Peavey Vypyr tube 120 head Line 6 Spider 4 HD150Orange Dark TerrorLaney IronheartI would likely pair the more expensive heads (Ironheart, vypyr, spider etc. with a cheap 4X12 or 2X12 until i can get something better)Please leave any snobbery about modelling amps like the spider and vypyr at the door please :)

Question : Easy way for 16 year to make some money?
Okay I want to get a amp, well a nice stack, the only problem is it's 2,400 dollars, I don't want to buy a cheaper amp, then I have to buy a more expensive one down the road. What can I do to make some quick cash? I can't cut lawns, it's way too hot, and I'm out competed by Mexicans, who do it cheaper and faster. And getting a job I'd have to cut my hair which is past my shoulder, which would sort of defeating the purpose of getting the amp, head banging with no hair is like UNTHINKABLE!!!!First thing, I am looking for choices, not people telling make smart choices when I don't know my options, and I already have a practice amp, so I think you shouldn't of even answered. From that you won't be giving me any "smart" choices, because it's probably beyond you.
Answer:
People in hell want ice water. Unless you are willing to make some smart choices, you'll be playing air guitar for the rest of your life.Play for money. Get a job. }}}}}}}}Facepalm{{{{{{{{{

Question : Can I use a half stack marshall as power amp for a behringer mixer?
Ok, I bought a year ago a Marshall MG100hdfx Half Stack:http://www.americanmusical.com/Item--i-MAR-REDMGHS-LISTI did not like the preamp, it sound to dirt, so much highs.Because of this, I bought a GT2 Tech21 Sans Amp.http://www.tech21nyc.com/products/sansamp/gt2.htmlI love this pedal, is just amazing, I just by pass the preamp of my marshall, and use this as a power amp for my Pedal and sounds amazing.So, I also have a behringer mixer I use for recording vocal as direct input, and as well I mic the amp to record my guitar.http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/1204FX.aspxIs really cheap and easy to use.Now I need to get another amplifier or a PA Package to play my guitar and sing at live, but for now I just can't afford it, and need anything to practice with some friends.So, I was wondering, I was able to use my half stack as a power amplifier or sort of, for my GT2 pedal, which emulates other amps, and since I really not use all of the volume available (this half stack is really loud for my bedroom gigs)... would it be possible to connect my Behringer Mixer output to my Marshall head by passing the preamp, I was able before to connect my gt2 directly into my mixer to do some recordings... If this could be possible (I know that physically is possible, but I don't want to damage my gear) I would be able to use my mixer to connect my microphone as I do for recording it, and as well my guitar/gt2 pedal in some other channel, connecting the output to the half stack by passing the preamp and just using it as a power amp.I don't know it kinda makes sense for me, but really I don't want to kill my stuff. please help me out to solve this, or find another temporary solution until I saved enough money for a proper PA package.
Answer:
No, the output of the mixer is significantly different than that of a guitar/guitar pedals. The amp isn't designed to accept that sort of signal. You'll ruin it.

Question : What is the best way to package my half stack?
I'm having my brother in Minnesota ship my half stack guitar Amp (see picture: http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b175/rocko2002/Amp.jpg)I'm trying to figure out the best way to package this beast so it has somewhat of a chance to survive the shipping process. I've thought about shrink wrapping it with some sort of cushioning then boxing it but with what??? That is the question for you all.....Thanks for your input.
Answer:
Is that a tube amp? It looks like I see a tube on the floor.... If so, start by removing the tubes and wrapping them separately in cushioning...preferably bubble wrap. Then you can pack them loose inside the head and fill the back with newspaper so the tubes don't move around. The head and cab will be shipped in separate boxes. Have you seen how computers and TVs are shipped? You'll need a sturdy cardboard box, slightly larger than the contents. There should be cushioning/spacers completely around the contents so that the components don't move and there is a space between the cardboard and the actual amp. This way, the box can get banged around but there is a buffer space between the outside and the amp. Double boxing is even better....box within a box, surrounded by padding. I think your best bet for packaging is to stop by an appliance store....one that sells stoves and refrigerators. They're likely to have boxes and styrofoam padding that they're trying to recycle. Try to find foam corner pieces. You'll probably have to customize a box to fit...use lots of strong packing tape, the kind with fiber strands. This is going to be expensive to ship BTW.
