Tom 13804 Posted December 6, 2017 Author Share Posted December 6, 2017 It was a great guitar for the money but I lost interest after a while. Always wanted a Candy Apple Red Jag with matching headstock but the spec never married up with price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34157 Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Bought one of these. It's mint if you like a clean sound. Works well with pedals too apparently although I've yet to prove that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 13804 Posted December 12, 2017 Author Share Posted December 12, 2017 Sounds canny from the 4 minute review I just watched! Should sound great for the Marr stuff too I'd probably go for something different for the same budget but then my neighbours are more forgiving than most.

I can't be deafening anyone. This comes with a headphones socket as well. I've been looking at the Blues Cube Hot as a possible partner to it in the future - even the tube amp fundamentalists on that pedal show couldn't disguise the fact that they thought it did a pretty good job when compared alongside a Blues Junior.

Tom 13804 Posted December 13, 2017 Author Share Posted December 13, 2017 Hmm I'd have to play it to believe it. As much as it was (probably) a blindfold test I reckon I'd easily tell difference, but that said perhaps technology has left me behind! Regarding volume I suppose it depends on the amp. I've got 30w & 65w valve amps that can easily be played in the house but a 5w that really struggles with it as it really shifts some air. End up playing an Orange Micro terror a lot of the time too, they sound great and are dirt cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34157 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Vid above Tom. Agreed you'd have to play it though - impossible to tell from a recording on YouTube how it really sounds but they do seem pleasantly surprised in the room. Is the micro terror just a head?

Tom 13804 Posted December 13, 2017 Author Share Posted December 13, 2017 Yeh but they do a little cab with it too. It's class So hypothetically you could put it through a big old 4 x 12 cab. I think the one they sell for it is a 1 x 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34157 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Ah a headphone socket too. Interesting. And you're a fan of this, yeah? Does it do well at low volume? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 34157 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 The Line 6 thing? Have you got one Andrew? That's a pricey bit of gear. Any good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 4183 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 I've got the Helix LT, the less bulky less expensive version. Software and sound stuff is all the same, it just has few I/O options and some less fancy visuals. It's absolutely great though, paired mine up with a small active PA speaker (or you'd need a poweramp) and I can go from full 600w PA volume to bedroom levels without changing gear or compromising. The range of sounds is massive as well, full range of complete cleans to gated, saturated prog metal gubbins. Works great for me, I never liked buying amps when I could get another/different guitar. And you can download setups/patches from the Line6 website for free (or other peoples for money) that would produce particular tones or styles without having to configure them yourself, I've a lovely Andy Timmons board/amp setup on mine that is just awesome.

You've just got to get past the jam bit and they talk. As a fuck about guitar Id highly recommend it but it's also sounds pretty class through a good amp. I could easily see myself picking one up and having a blast for a few hours. Plus it's short scale so you can bend/vibrato strings like holy fucking hell with little or no effort. Like a borrower Steve Vai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it do well at low volume? Aye, it sounds/plays like a proper tube amp* & it really sounds like an Orange. Id say it can be a little bright at times next to my "proper" Orange but I think that's owing to the small speaker in the cab rather than owt else. Plus the tone circuit has been upgraded on the new ones so a bit of warmth is easier to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 13804 Posted December 13, 2017 Author Share Posted December 13, 2017 Nice one man. As I said it's a class guitar for the money and the quality is spot on. Obviously they'll be cutting costs somewhere and I think it's basswood, I happen to like basswood anyway. Also it's a proper rosewood board. Which may become a rarity in the near future...
