....I'm looking @ a Fender Custom '57 Tweed Twin on Monday. Guy's asking $1400 for it....I'm betting I can get it for less. Not a bad deal at all. Any thoughts on this amp guys?
No go, didn't like it....one bit, surprisingly.
why? tell us about it.
What a weird amp. Too round of a sound, too bluesy, too straight forward. Not enough of something, that's for sure. I can't really explain it. I was trying to explain it to raisinfreen but all that came out was gobblygook. I found I needed to crank the amp to 5+ just to get loud enough, but then at that point it was too loud for the band setting. Rerally an in-your-face sound that I found unappealing. I want to to be "in your face" but I want to do it with my OWN presentation, not the amp forcing itself on you. Like a wild horse that wouldn't listen or something. The rest of the band even agreed that it wasn't the right tones. I tell ya, as much as I need to get a new amp, one thing I love about the HRD that I currently am playing through is the exrta drive channel. It cuts through on a solo so effin' nicely, like riding on a surfboard through a nice wave. I'm stilll really surprised I didn't "like" a $3200 amp. Go figure.
