The clips not impressing you is actually a good thing!! it will save you some money

Dude! The 4x12's can be had cheap.....it's just loading them that sucks balls unless you get a cab that has speakers that you like

 

[Capulin Overdrive]

yup, those things are badass!

I agree Brother!!! When I was in GC I had the balls to slave the HT-5 to a Bogner Alchemist and one guy freaked and almost bought the Bogner because of that tone lol! I had to tell him that I was getting the distortion from the HT-5

that's cool as hell.


back before i figured out my Metro will probably sit on the kitchen table as long as yours, one of bright ideas for building an amp was to build one with an EL-84 amp slaved into a 34 amp but all on the same chassis.

this EL-84 slaved into EL34 amp already exists, but for the life of me I can't remember the name.

edit - just remembered -Guytron

yeah, guytron did that and it is a killer sound.

Tommy folkesson also does something like that in his amps that just kill. He sort of sets up his mods to be like slaving one amp into another although it's all done internal. His mods sound killer although he wont ship to the USA because its a PITA
His amps get killer pre and power distortion without shattering your ears or having to use a slave setup. The Guys brilliant IMHO.

AAAHHH, he's just being stubborn! my Elmwood drop shipped from Sweden on Sat., and i had it on Monday with friggin UPS.

i'd forgot about Tommy, i'm gonna do some research.

I called Tommy and spoke to him. he would not budge on shipping a freaking amp to me! With that said, I think that if I really wanted one I could get it but My cash flows sucks ass right now lol

Just got off the phone with my local connection. They are overloaded with 4x12's. He was very happy to hear I was interested in buying one LOL!!! Waiting for email for price

Man I've been salivating over one of these as well! Are they selling it at GC sans the cabs? I don't need em and thought it only came as a packaged deal. Also, most online places seemed to be out of em!

You sir just described the Guytron GT-100.

And I loved it

I'm completely stumped on how they crammed that much gain and tones into that little amp. I always compare little amps like this to my old 80's fender Superchamp and this thing held up to it. Im very impressed and the price is rediculous. I could care less if its a toy inside because it sounds killer.
It doesn't have the wallup of the Vox night-train or the Egnater but it is a little firebreather for sure!

Needless to say, I bought one!!! Now here is the kicker, I bought a Blem HT-5 on Music123 for $260 and I had a $25 coupon from them as well. The Total cost was $235 with shipping which makes it about the price of a boutique pedal lol

Just handed one of those to a buddy for his B-day.

I'm about to pull the trigger on one myself. Still on the fence, though... nobody has one around here and I hate to buy sight unseen these days.

Joe!!!

I was going to get one from GC online, but they wont accept my gift card vis the web. They lose.

WTF.

That's why I no longer give gift cards!! almost everytime I bought one for someone they had problems with it and Ive also been on the receicing end as well.

Yeah, i got to play it and I loved it. With that said, it is going to be a hot item, so even if you got it and didn't dig it, Im sure that you could get rid of it. Id also be willing to bet that if you hold it for a while, The price is going to go up. I mean I got mine for $235 which is the price of a good effects pedal these days lol!!

I'm pretty sure I paid more for my Fulltone Mini Deja Vibe. And my Clyde wah, for that matter...

Oh, and yay for the Interwebs and being able to easily find coupon-codes (hint hint)
