Originally posted by House53 I have tried a clean boost in front of the Ghia... it gets overloaded very easily... that's the point of the design... it didn't give much more perceived volume...
It just made the amp overdrive a bit.
that's all it's supposed to do. with the ghia though, it drives so easily on it's own that clean boost is kinda redundant.
Originally posted by exhausted it's beautiful but i have the 6V6 sound covered. i would really need something like an AD15 to increase the palette of sounds i have.
Originally posted by exhausted i checked those out last time you mentioned them but it's honestly not my thing. the fender blackface is already aesthetically perfect.
indeed. with the oxford grill cloth. Sexy, Sultry, Seductive man I love those amps.
My Girlfriend said to me..."How many guitars do you need?" and I replied...."How many pairs of shoes do you need?" She got really quiet.
it's so tempting. if i let go of my desire for a digital piano and just settled for renting one, i could buy the vibro-champ. it'll go for $400US for sure.
i can rent a digital piano for $40US a month. i can't rent a minty vibro champ.
Originally posted by House53 So, Voodoo Labs tremolo is a good one eh?
Any other ideas?
i the only other one i've heard as many good things about is the guyatone tube driven tremolo. out of the price range though but not by much. the voodoo lab is an opto-tremolo though. not tube but very nice.
Originally posted by House53 I could get a wiggler... sounds like it might be a good option... vibrato and tremolo... I certainly like the holy grail reverb...
Do any of you use this unit? Have experience with it?
I lusted for a wiggler for a while unfortunately I am still waiting for my strat and thus saving that money for a captain coconut 2.
The Wiggler is badass. Quirky like all EH effects but most people say it's pretty reliable. I like it alot. You really can't beat the sound tubes give you.

I am excited about him though...
He will learn to like rock music too.
Sell your car.

I have inquired with Dr. Z about the possibility of a Ghia in a 212 combo... if I am custom ordering I may as well get it with the blue speakers...
a Ghia 112 with a Vox Blue would run about $1400... a 212 with the blues about $1750...
I could just save my pennies for that. I would actually need about $600 to cover the trade difference on my current setup.
mmmmm vibro champ.
Oh, I want it.
perhaps an A/B rig would work well. Find an old bandmaster or twin for the clean side of things.
Right. Actually a bandmaster is probably a good choice.
Have you considered perhaps an Orange AD 30? Used is probably in your price range. 4 EL-84's.

after you pry it out of my cold dead hands.
i really want it but would be redundant for me.
I like that amp, but not more than the Ghia.
or more than the SG for that matter.
I disagree. It's a living room piece.
The ultimate living room piece....
http://www.electrosonicamplifiers.com/ pretty cheap too.
I have about $150 in my paypal account from the sale of a guitar neck on ebay.
So, should I get a tremolo pedal or perhaps a booster of some kind...
what do you think?
What can I get in that price range?
That, or I could get a nice hardshell case for my tele...
Ideas?

voodoo lab tremolo. without question.
http://www.analogman.com look up the boss tremolo or the voodoo lab trem. It's probably cheaper, and it's awesome.
I'd get a micro vibe or an EH Wiggler, because that's my thing.

dude, get exactly what you want. Tell the Fiancee it's an end table.

The fulltone supa trem. Go used on this one. it's cheaper.

Menatone pleasure trem 5000. If you don't like it, toss it to the girlfriend.
mainly because Mike Fuller is a tool.

Here is a great guitar... I love the goldtop.
I could pick this up, sell my SG... come away with a little bit of cash.
maybe the best of both worlds. Looks cool.
looks cool. hopefully you don't mean that particular example since it looks like the neck is going to fly off at any minute.
