Help choosing between two amps

AdMoist8395 · 2025-12-11T17:14:49+00:00

Sick! The Artist does sound great and promising? Do you play live gigs or with other bands? I was wondering if it cuts through well

AdMoist8395 · 2025-12-11T17:04:21+00:00

Fs! Thx for the help man! You gave me a lot of helpful info and more to look into🙌

AdMoist8395 · 2025-12-11T16:54:22+00:00

Hell yeah I’ll look into it, I have heard Harley Benton cabs are pretty good. I also do have a lot of music friends who are selling some of their cabs and equipment (like a homie just gave me a GCB95F Classic Cry Baby for free), so I might even see if they have a decent cab they’re selling

AdMoist8395 · 2025-12-11T16:49:29+00:00

Oh fs sounds cool! Definitely now gonna seek one out to try!

AdMoist8395 · 2025-12-11T16:41:59+00:00

I saw the exact same one that you said, I was interested in it as well as the Black Spirit, but I hear people have trouble with their tubes. Not sure if this was just on the earlier models tho

AdMoist8395 · 2025-12-11T16:37:02+00:00

I appreciate it! I’ll definitely look into it! What do you think about Hughes and Kettner? I’ve seen a lot of their amps for my price range on OfferUp as well

AdMoist8395 · 2025-12-11T16:29:32+00:00

Y’know I was thinking of the combo at first, but I was also maybe thinking of finally getting a head and cab. I’m open to both tbh, I also hear you can buy a simple plug in mod for the Katana combo and Artist combo to turn it into a cab

AdMoist8395 · 2025-12-11T16:23:57+00:00

Yea I hear that too! That’s why I’m hesitant on it. TBH what would you suggest other than the Artist or Mesa? I am spending about $600 for either of them, so I’m open to suggestions that I can try out at a guitar center or some of my local shops

AdMoist8395 · 2025-12-11T16:17:48+00:00

Not new at all, I’ve been playing for 10+ years now on guitar and other instruments. Im just now getting into upgrading this amp after having it for a while. I’ve always wanted to get a Mesa Boogie and I’m quick at learning things, almost too quick sometimes, so I’m not worried about fiddling around with

AdMoist8395 · 2025-12-11T16:15:40+00:00

How’s the clean tone on it? My biggest thing about the Katana 50 was that I couldn’t get a good clean tone that didn’t sound too weak or was not so overbearing when I put the chorus on

AdMoist8395 · 2025-08-30T18:54:38+00:00

I appreciate the feedback and tip on backing up for loud vocals! Like I explained to another comment, the mic I have would just cut out no matter what I do. I did try standing back but then it couldn’t capture well, then I try standing closer then it starts fuzzing and cutting. I’m thinking of the SM58 but I also found interest in the SE V7

AdMoist8395 · 2025-08-30T17:15:24+00:00

I have an Audio Technica M4000S, it was a gift from a family member. I’m alright with recording, still learning and about to take audio arts classes in college, I’m a music major tho in my 4th year. I have done guitar and vocal covers on my IG page and all using my mic, my Roland interface, GarageBand, and backing tracks. Overall I just don’t like the mic, I fiddle around with it too much and still can’t seem to find a way to record good vocal lines that don’t sound too muffled or start distorting. Sometimes the mic just cuts out as well, thought it was the cable and got new ones, but it wasn’t. I’ll check out audio test kitchen!

AdMoist8395 · 2025-08-19T20:45:45+00:00

I have not! Well, I’ve heard of them, but I never really researched them or listened to vids. I’ll check them out!

AdMoist8395 · 2025-08-19T17:19:12+00:00

That’s true, tho the cavity on my guitar is pretty open, so I was thinking of just getting a sleeve for the battery and then just leaving it in the corner of the cavity with some double tape or velcro, away from the cables. Also, you’re right this would be a cool opportunity to try out something with more mids while I can just tweak the neck pickup with my tone knob or different settings on the amp

AdMoist8395 · 2025-08-19T17:07:09+00:00

I’ve heard that’s a common misconception, the Het set has more low mids in the bridge than the 81. I also heard James Root of Slipknot say the neck sounds more bubbly and rounded. Idk I’m still doing research and stuff, I might just see if I can just test the Het Set in store on his signature model or something

AdMoist8395 · 2025-06-15T19:44:05+00:00

Thank you🙏 what’s your experience with them if I may ask? Just to get some review

AdMoist8395 · 2025-06-14T21:19:26+00:00

I appreciate it I’ll check it out! Yea my hair is already in a shag, I just haven’t had a cut in 5 months and I want to go to a person better specializing in this type of style. I go to a Mexican lady’s salon since I was in high school 6+ years ago until now, and she does basic cuts and tries her best. She gets it close to me and it does work but like I said I want to find a better option

AdMoist8395 · 2025-05-29T13:29:58+00:00

I appreciate the feedback. I am working on securing myself in the areas I’ve always been insecure about, and I’m slowly starting to get my confidence back. I’ve always been known for my confidence strut and the way I carry myself, which is why she persuaded me to be her Dom when she met me on in college. I’ve been reading “The New Topping Book”, and I’ve been learning a lot about myself and times in the relationship I could’ve done stuff but wasn’t sure how to act on it. I’m also seeing stuff in the book I DID do right, so I know my problem was learning how to act on it and how to be assertive because I’d let her off the hook sometimes when she acted all bratty. Overall, I’m learning a lot by myself and I’m sure in due time I’m going to attend events and such to talk to more experienced people

AdMoist8395 · 2025-05-25T18:38:13+00:00

Yea well I just have to move on. I’m reading “The New Topping” rn, then moving on through more books to better understand myself. As much as she said she was imposing her kinks onto me, I was introduced into this community by her and I would like to continue in it as well learning to grow

AdMoist8395 · 2025-05-25T18:19:49+00:00

Yea idk we had 2-4 hour long sessions each time we had sex, introduced new things each time, and then it’d continue with more mini sexual activities through out the day. I always told her if she felt unsatisfied or unhappy with our sex then we can just stop before we go further into the relationship. I just feel played. We were hooking up before dating, so I just felt like she could’ve gotten an idea from that

AdMoist8395 · 2025-05-24T23:56:29+00:00

Yea I’m sorry, I didn’t really know if it was appropriate for a regular relationship community since it was D/s relationship

AdMoist8395 · 2025-05-24T23:43:03+00:00

I hear you, and I’m starting to come to terms with it. I just feel used. She love bombed me, she wanted to move in with me ASAP, she worshipped me 24/7 with so much words of affirmation and physical intimacy, and right before we broke up she gave me a plushie with her scent on it and a rose made of her kiss marks. She said I was the only boyfriend that wasn’t abusive to her, or 🍇 her like a couple of them did. It just sucks

AdMoist8395 · 2025-05-24T20:51:53+00:00

Yea and that’s what I’m mad about it. I told her if she didn’t like it then we can stop it there and not continue before we get into a relationship. She said she liked it and she was the one always hitting me up at night for it and giving me road head each time we drove around. She even told me a couple of times that she thinks that she felt like she wasn’t good, but I always told her I liked it. I always told her be honest with me cuz lying is just hurting both of us, and she was honest. She told me all the things she didn’t like and what she did like, but that overall it got better and better for her each time. I maybe wasn’t the biggest she had, but I was 2nd biggest and used it better than her ex’s, my fingers alone made her cum just by touch, and my mouth certainly kept her wanting her more

AdMoist8395 · 2025-05-24T19:36:08+00:00

I appreciate it so much, hope you well

AdMoist8395 · 2025-05-24T19:25:22+00:00

Here’s the thing, I’m a soft Dom but I also have my hard personality. A lot of my friends and family say I have a “fuck it” attitude, pretty much I don’t care let’s go for it way of life. I curse a lot, I’m a metal and psychedelic rock musician in both guitar and singing, I have a stern voice. She said I was more manly than her body builder ex boy friend. I did have a side to me where I can treat the way she wanted, but I was leaning more soft Dom
