    I went buy a local music chain here in Atlanta called Ken Stanton Mucic and played through Fender Super-Sonic full stack they had set up with a Fender Strat and a Boss DS-2 Turbo Distortion petal it was one of the best if not the best tube amps I've played through. They are pretty pricey but I'm gonna try and get it the next time I have cash. People can say what they want about Marshalls I've always liked Fenders the best.

    I think I may agree with you.

    cool you're in Atlanta, me too. Which Ken Stanton did you go too?
    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.

    I played it with a Deluxe Ash Strat...(yes people I drove 30 minutes back to GC to play that guitar for 20 minutes :D) and it was amazing...the overdrive is nice too if you want that old fender amp sound...

    you gotta take out a lone and just buy that guitar. my friend has it andd i agree it is so awsome, but you should try the AM deluxe ash teleas well, thats what i got about 2 months ago, and its awsome

    I'm like obsessed with amps though...I'm in love with my Traynor YCV40WR but I still want a Rivera Suprema 55, Fender Blues Deluxe Reissue, and sometype of matchless combo :D

    oh and who ever was looking to get an Epiphone Casino...I played it today, it was REALLY nice, especially for the price

    I was considering a Casino. How's the action, really easy to move on the neck? Not too fat?

    Every single day I get just slightly more pissed off at my Traynor Custom 80.

    I'm getting really tempted just to trash the fucker and pick up a Blues Deluxe RI or a DRRI, an older Mentone KOB and a Seymour Duncan Twintube. :mad:

    The blues deluxe is a great amp for the money, but it's not going to do the high-gain stuff. I'm WAY over that at this point in my playing, so I don't even care. I only need one channel.

    Why are you getting mad at the Traynor?

    I've been playing it for about 4 years now, and it's a great amp, but I need a change before I kill it.

    I think it has to do with all the expensive stuff I've been toying with lately, and I can't make it dial in the same tones. It makes me :( ;) .

    It's mainly because I moved in May, and I can't turn it up loud enough anymore to get it to sound good. The 80 watt has a master volume, so you can get really saturated tones even at a low volume and it's manageable. However, the responsive tube overdrive I really like, I can't get at these volumes.

    For example, to get a great tube tone, I'll take the lead channel, turn off boost, put the gain at 4, volume at 6, and the master at 5. Now, that's pretty loud, but it is extremely responsive to my guitar. It also pisses off the neighbours, and I can't afford another noise complaint. :( I just can't get the tones anymore.

    I found with the Fender amps, I could get similar, or very close to at low volumes, or with just a push of an od pedal.

    the DRRI takes pedals quite well generally and may do the high gain thing well with the right pedal.

    but you'll need an attentuator to get it saturated on it's own. it breaks up around 4 (depending on your pickups) but that's still very loud.

    my most favourite amp ever. i wish i had a wall full of them.

    personlly, i think it's miles above the hot rod and blues deluxes as far as clarity and range.

    The one I played was slightly used so the previous owner could have done work on it but the action was pretty low, it was nice, and the neck was thin which is what I loved about it

    yeah I think I'm going to get a Blues Deluxe RI, I'll let you guys know how I like it :) give me 8 weeks

    I just got another e-mail from the guy......

    He said that it's literally "out of the box" and been played like 10 times, and that he had put the price at $750 knowing it was high and that he would go down to $650 for me.

    I had asked for $550 so I bet he'll go for $600 if I pick 'er up....

    Is that a good deal?? $600 CAD for the Tweed Blues Deluxe Reissue

    Don't we all. My roommate plays a Fender Deluxe, not the Tweed Reissue, just the regular old black tolex, and its one hell of an amp.

    Ha but seriously Dirty_Frank's reverb on his amp kind of broke and he wanted an upgrade considering he has had that amp for about 5 years now and he was really really into getting the 50BLUE, I just don't know what happened

    It wasn't cooperating with my strat. Sounded pretty good with my Les Paul, but it just wasn't clicking with the strat.

    I should probably give the whole thing another whirl soon though.

    Yeah I understand what you mean. I really don't like the 50BLUE, I mean the overdrive is amazing but it's just I can't buy an amp that doesn't have a great clean channel.

    I'm seriously thinking of getting the BDRI. Run the strat through the BDRI and then the SG through the 40WR :D

    How would a Twin or BDRI sound with a DS-1 in front of it for Distortion? Or would an Overdrive be better. I'm thinkin I can save a little bit if I just got thr 65 Twin instead of the new one.
