Re: ZT Junior

Got a shipment of them in yesterday :D Really impressed so far. Doesn't have the headroom of the regular LB, but IMHO the clean is sweeter, and there's also a more natural break-up to it when you push it. What's the volume like? Could you still gig with it? The lunchbox and m9 is portable sweetness...

Re: Petition to bring back the Boss HM-2? SRSLY?

I had one, it was awful. Got it for $20, sold it to Cash Converters for $25. Score!

Nah, I got the pedal separately. I wasn't sure how much I really needed it, but now that I have it I don't think I'd be able to live without it.

NPD!!

I've been semi-gassing for an m9 for a while now, so when I saw one trademe for a good price I snapped it up. I thought the m9 might be useful through the lunchbox. Well it turns out useful is a huge understatement. The m9 has transformed the lunchbox into pure fun. It's so much fun to play, so intu...

Re: Power Amp Recommendation

Oh man, these youtube demos of the ehx 44 caliber are making me think that it could be a pretty good option:

Maybe see if you could demo the velocity and the 44 caliber in-store?

Re: Power Amp Recommendation

The Rocktron is fine at low volumes, that's the beauty of a solid state amp. The velocity 100 is the same as the 300 with less watts and no reactance and definition knobs (which are essential in my opinion). The 22 caliber is a power amp but it'll break up once you get past a certain volume. I'm not...

Re: Power Amp Recommendation

+1 on the Rocktron velocity. Cheap and good. The reactance and presence dials are awesome for dialing in 'tubey' goodness at any volume. Musicplanet have them for $800: http://www.musicplanet.co.nz/shop/Browse+by+Category/Amps/Guitar+Amps/-ROC-VELOCITY-300.html or Guitar Center in the US for around ...

Re: mesa recto lunchbox!

some of you seem to have forgotten about this.... if the tiny terror had an f/x loop it would be perfect(for me)likewise if the ht-5 was a little more towards 25....edit(just realised there is an ht20 head :D ) These were great for clean and crunch, but the Hi gain tone was shite. IMHO. Yup, I trie...

Re: Power Amps?

I've got one of these and it rules: http://www.rocktron.com/products/amplifiers/rackmountguitar_amps/velocity300/ Just as good if not better than my marshall 9100, which takes up three spaces and weighs/costs way more. you can go local: http://www.musicplanet.co.nz/shop/Browse+by+Category/Amps/Guita...

Re: Best Multi-Effects Unit for Newbie?

+1 on the pod. You should be able to pick up a deal on trademe, especially with the new one being released. I got an xt bean/footswitch/carry bag for $300 not too long ago and this was before the new one was out.

Re: The Dark Terror is upon us!

I'm interested to hear what this sounds like. The dual terror was pretty cool, I just wish it had a bit more gain.
