Anyone ever fight with their amp?

[Juggernaut]

wish I could track that one down, don't remember who bought it, probably has changed a dozen hands by now

I've actually considered the Kemper, I don't play live, I play with a drummer on occassion when I need inspiration to write, other than that it's here at the house..... that being said that CCV is aweful sexy sitting next to me right now.

She might be sexy but if she complains the whole time then its gonna be a fucked up night.

If its just a temporary thing then try playing something else and go back to it later you know give your ears a rest. I say sleep on it. The Cameron line is fucking awesome. But for me nothing against anyone I like the Rhodes Colossus. Killertones shit just sounded tits.

The Fortin stuff? Hell yeah, Mike makes some AMAZING amps, funny that he's working with Randall now too, I'm a sucker for Randall gear.

Hell I don't know, I felt like a dick posting this thread, it's not anything that just happened, got past the initial "it's here! it's here!" phase, and been fighting with it, the matching cab helped ALOT, but in the end, didn't "bring it" like I had hoped....

Don't get me wrong, the thing is STELLAR, sounds massive, but not what "I" look for in tone.

I just knew that amp wasnt gonna fit your style

 

[Joeytpg]

Mike, sell the thing and get a Mesa and be done with it.

Sounds killer, but again, not a tone I'd use...

The most frustrating part is, actually admitting defeat on this and selling it.......

The ONLY things I'm remotely interested in are:

VHT Ultra Lead
Marshall JVM
TOV
Kemper
AxeFX II

hell I'm conflicted like crazy..... This thing has been my "unicorn" for 5-6 years, since Mark introduced them, FINALLY got it, and it's just not me..... FUCK!!!!

sad thing is, I played it for a good 3 hours today, low volume, gig volume, etc.... then out of frustration, went back to my Randall, and had a big smile on my face, just laughing that my $300 amp is doing for me what a $4300 half stack won't.

 

[sandman]

Mike, i'll trade you my blackstar ht-5 for it and pay shipping...that's an awesome deal eh? LOL....
sorry it's not working out for ya...frustrating

sell the cammy...pocket the 4300 and buy another randall....if the randall makes ya that happy then stick with it and not worry about other amps for awhile.....well...that's impossible i guess...lol

THIS

sell it, and buy two cheaper amps (another randall and maybe a mesa mark III) and have a dual amp rig of doom

 

[zewango]

I think you're supposed to sell the amp first (cat needs eye surgery will definetely buy again) then say afterwards it wasnt for you. These Cameron's get around. Where is Pyschodave when you need him?
Sounds like you new right away it wasnt for you.

 

[Juggernaut]

nah, I've got the Randall I want, that is until the Fortin Randalls hit

I'd honestly love to score the Kemper or AFII and another cheaper amp.... JVM, TOV....

my dogs brothers bitch needs a hysterectomy.....

Honestly I suppose I did, but I WANT TO LOVE this amp, REAL bad, I truely do, but..... I don't.

 

[Audioholic]

That sucks bur hopefully you will make most of your money back. Even if an amp is stellar by all reputation doesn't mean it will work for everyone. Just stinks we can't always try before we buy.

Thats kinda the thought, but instead of 2 amps (already have 2 SS amps), get one killer amp, and something I can tweak on, record direct with, etc... hence the Kemper, AFII. The Kemper has been on my radar for a while, and with Petes clips and profiles, thats made it even worse.

 

[Joeytpg]

how about going in a completely different direction and try trading it for a Diezel? have you owned or played a diezel?

If you sell it, and go with a cheaper amp, I'd give these a try:

Blackstar
Triamp
Framus
Carvin Legacy III

Hell I'd even give one of those Madison amps a try (you're a heavy metal rythm player, these seem to fit)

 

[Juggernaut]

Don't like the Madisons, or Framus, not interested in Carvin or Blackstar, the HT5 is a cool little amp, but haven't heard any really badass tones out of the 100 watter, Had a Triamp, cool amp, but thought the Access Pre was better.

[Juggernaut]

let me think on it, hold your breath and I'll get back to ya
