[behndy]

pushy PUSHY.

yer. i'm going out there today to return some strings my brother bought me for xmas (nice thought, but the Dingers require weird length 'cause of the long ass b), i'm probably gonna talk to them about it if i can remember.

i HOPE they have a Dwarcraft Robot Devil in too. want to try one of thems HARD.

I got my tube head for 300

I really don't know where the hell you guys are finding these deals. I watch eBay and Craigslist religiously, and I never see an all-tube head going for cheapz.

uhh....on eBay and CL?

[Achtane]

CL varies hugely based on where you're looking though. Coolest thing I ever saw on CL here was an Ampeg B-15N for $450. But the rest is just nothing. Maybe a GK head or something, a 410 with tweeter. And endless fields of starter pack amps.
Talkbass is pretty good sometimes. I got my VB-2 for $550, it's new as used can be and they're like $900 from a store

I'm still holding out for the rare flea market/pawn shop treasure.

[D.o.S.]

i've heard from TOOB LOVAHZ that fuzz sounds way meatier and in every way better through a tube amp.

realz?

realz.

[MaxMaps]

so ben what type of tube amp are you gonna get?

SEE WHAT I DID THERE

[behndy]

diry, DIRRRRTY humans.

sigh. that's another component i was trying to avoid. i don't know SHIT about heads. never interested me. ss power amps? the way i've always rolled? fucking EASY. how many watts per how many channels at how many ohms. so. simple.

damn you. damn you ALL.

[D.o.S.]

To be fair, I'm not sure someone who likes clean blends should be allowed into our all-tube treehouse.

Anyway, if you can A/B a tube head and your current rig/part of it with some fuzz pedals, you'll probably understand it.

[behndy]

lol. well then, i'll just sit out here. in the cold. cuddling my blend'eh pedalz to keep me warm.

[D.o.S.]

Clean blend makes you hollow and cold inside.

I edited my thingy above for 4% more helpful.

[behndy]

so you're saying that ONLY with pedals that have blends on them will i be able to tell a difference? NICE. good to know homie, good to KNOW.

I like clean blends and I has 6 tube amps

[D.o.S.]

Yeah, well, we all have faults.

so you're saying that ONLY with pedals that have blends on them will i be able to tell a difference? NICE. good to know homie, good to KNOW.

No! Nein! Nyet!

But fuzz pedals (IMO YMMV BANANA) sound better through tube heads. Try a rig A/B with one of your favorites. Adjust fuzz and amp settings to taste, obviously, 'cause the preamps are prolly gonna be different and'll interact differently with yer pedz.

[behndy]

Yes! Yesh! A Thousand Pounds Of Strawberry Flavored Virginal Vaj YES!

NICE.
