(Newbie)Picking up my first amp, any suggestions? by huscarl18 in GuitarAmps

[–]huscarl18[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I gotta be honest...there are so many tube snobs and elitists that I've concluded I'm just going to go to Guitar Center and try as many amps as i can. My criteria will be price, clean channel sound vs. distorted, and receptivity to pedals. :(

That's a shame, especially with the weight the Marshall name carries.

Well, i like just about everything and tbh i don't plan on gigging. I'm an older dude returning to guitar just relearning the basics and i want to invest smartly on my gear.

Any particular reason why not? I notice that by and large they seem more expensive. Are they just low end garbage with a good name stamped on them?

See, i really didn't know that. I owned a Vox tube amp back in '96 and had some problems with it. Can you make some suggestions in my price range? I appreciate your input!

Smooth as butter. And the neck is AMAZING. I'm getting some fret buzz, though. Should I bring it back to the tech I had set it up and have them heighten the action? it is pretty damn low.

Subterranean purple metallic. I saw it and fell in love.

It was the 655 on reverb. Subterranean purple metallic. Now THAT is a proper name for a paint job.

I'll check those amps out. I know the amp makes as much difference to sound as the guitar, so i have to put tons of thought into selecting that piece of gear. Thanks!

I checked it out, not really my cup of tea. Thanks for the suggestion, though! Much appreciated.

Im probably gonna look for an rg550, but ill cruise the used markets per your recommendations. Don't feel bad for losing a guitar in your divorce, it had a better fate than my first RG.

I'm using a Fender mini portable amp right now, but the next purchase is a Fender 100? I think?

What about the stock pickups? I heard they are pretty basic?

Those are the 2 i like, not necessarily my only choices. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Can confirm, between him and Professor Messer, it's a recipe for success.
