General Music Chat

Not bad! I need to find a group (there are a few in my area, but none play my kind of music so I might have to try something new) to play with but I can definitely afford a used one to use until and during I start and am gigging

a used amp*

No shame in used gear. I actually prefer it. If I buy low I can try it out, use it keep it or sell it. As long as I take good care of it I can always resell for nearly what I paid. Over the years I have owned a dozen good amps. All bought used except the first one. SRV also preferred used gear.

I knew that! I love watching his live stuff and trying some of the things he did on mine. The man was unbelievably good. If I'm 75% as good as him when I die, I'll be okay with it. And what I wouldn't do for a vibratone

why don't you post a clip of "clean tone"
that way people know what you looking for.

I am always fascinated by what people call "clean tone"

an eq pedal is cheaper than an amp. you already have a decent amp.. it just needs EQing

the clean amp sound that I like is a Roland JC-120

if your having problems reduce the gain on the amp and roll off the volume on your guitar to start with

there are a lot of different clean tones, you may need to research the clean tone from some song that you like and find out what the artist was using for thier sound

I think thats a better way to go than asking us, cause all of us have different ideas of what a clean tone it to begin with

oooohhh... jc-120.. nice!.. you lucky dog

I dont have one, cause Im not really that into clean tones, most of my stuff is dirty sounding, but Ive played thru them before, they also made a JC-90, which is a bit smaller, and pretty damn loud


I play a Mesa Triple live, for my clean tone I back the gain off on my clean channel and crank the master, my eq's are around the mid position, but I tinker with them all the time, but what I did was did out this old Boss CS-3 compressor I have, and put it in front of my amp, basically I use it to boost the clean tone and roll the volume on my guitar way back and adjust eq at the guitar, I use a les paul, so its a little brighter than a strat anyway. But I use the compressor as a booster, to level out the level on the clean to match my dirty channels.

But then again in a 4 hour gig, I dont use the clean on a few songs, so its not really an issue with me

Good Luck

What Model Marshall are you using? I have a few amps but my favorite all around amp is the Marshall JCM 2000 DSL.

Its a Micro. So hence the need for new/used new amp

Yes indeed!

Get the Fender and never look back. EXACTLY the Bob Marley sound. He used mostly Fender Twin and Music Man amps. Pure Leo Fender.

I have a Carvin V3M that gets as dirty, chunky, spanky and clean as I want those amps are VERY versitle!

For someone on a budget you can't beat the Line 6 Spider amps.
