[quote name='NancyJohnson' timestamp='1455365449' post='2978427'] I put a Tung Sol 12AX7 in. There's a distinctive growl to the pre-amp now at low volume. It's more defined. While it's nowhere near the tone of the Samsamp, it seems different tonally and there's seemingly more response from the tone-slider controls and the three bass/mid/treble pots. Interesting. P [/quote] That sounds interesting. I may have to try a valve swap on my EVO iii. It may sort out the close but no cigar sound the head currently produces.

Picked this up recently. It needs a bit of fettling but still feels very comfortable...

Try www.bandm.co.uk It's the same company that handles Aguilar in the UK. They have the new Peavey heads on the website

I am so happy with the look! [/quote] Wow!

Is this quiz any good for playing metal?

I've gone back to my old Trace Elliot combo just this week. It sounds great but weighs a ton and is very awkward to move around. If anyone would like to sell me a GP12 SMX Head I would be more than interested.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1454079853' post='2966258'] Sweet - is that a Portaflex combo? [/quote] It's a B100r Rocket Combo. I used to own it. They sound fantastic.

Totally gutted. Very sad day for everyone involved in Bmx.

Thanks for an enjoyable day. It was certainly an eye opener regarding modern amplification. My choice of the day would have to be the GK Fusion 550 and the purple Warwick Streamer. Lovely gear, Thanks guys. ...oh, Barefaced Cabs...mental physics going on there. Cheers, Bren. Green Spector.

[quote name='Bigwan' timestamp='1453659574' post='2961504'] He's been around long enough to have seen it from both sides I would think. He speaks a lot of sense! I met him at a signing before a clinic in Manchester in '95 and he doesn't seem to have aged a day! [/quote] I was at the same one and your right, he aint aged much. I still have the signed photo on my cupboard.

[quote name='sunburstjazz1967' timestamp='1453645760' post='2961325'] It's already happening. [/quote] Just because you can doesn't mean you should Edit.... I've seen a clip of the Metallica concert. It wasn't what I would call silent and was staged that way due to environmental constraints. Drums are drums and drummer's make noise.

[quote name='sunburstjazz1967' timestamp='1453629056' post='2961087'] I can see a time where the big names start endorsing iem systems and di boxes rather than cabs. The younger players are embracing technology and they are the next batch of purchasers, the dinosaurs won't be here for ever deafening themselves. Silent gigs are alright out there where the audience all where head phones, imagine a group of kids that could wear head phones plugged into their phone with an app that mixes them all together via wifi including fx etc and recording capability compared to setting up a lad of expensive heavy kit their parents have to drive around! [/quote] That sounds awful... in more ways than one. It's certainly not what I would class as going to see a gig. The punters may as well stay at home and watch it on a monitor, for that matter the band may as well be at home and not necessarily at the same one as the other members of the group.

Not sure if it's only the B Social he's using or if he's gone the whole hog with a full touring rig. Very interested in following this move.
