[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1403092228' post='2479632'] If you're on a budget or just don't want to spend valve amp money you could try a BDI-21 (£26) which sounds very close indeed to a SansAmp and will give you 'SVT-ish' at a fraction of the price. If you don't like it you can move it on without much loss. But I think you'll like it. I do agree though that there is nothing that provides the grit and pure slam of a valve amp - and it has to have valve pre AND power stages in my humble opinion - a valve pre into a SS power stage just doesn't sound the same. [/quote] That might be worth a look at that price, thx

Beyond what I can justify

Yes it has an svt model but I've never tried adding OD - will try thx I only really play at home so flight casing isn't an issue but good info thx I'll look at that DI pedal thx

Hi I'd like a more gritty tone. I think I would get this from a valve amp but I'm aware that they can be fragile- can someone tell me what to look for ? Do I need particular controls to drive the valve, do I need a particular kind of valve? Will a valve DI, or decent MFX unit do the job ? Do I just need mild overdrive from my zoom B2.1? fairly clueless on this topic. I've currently got a zoom b2.1, a precision, and a hartke hydrive 2 x 10 (which I find a bit "polite") - it has a sansamp patch but I dont know if this is realistic. thanks for your input

[quote name='MoonBassAlpha' timestamp='1402917531' post='2477786'] Poke the last bit of the cable through the cab handle to take the stress off the amp's input socket [/quote] Good suggestion

Is it the photo or does the back of the neck look smooth and glossy whilst the body looks a bit battered (In a good way, I like it) nice though

Thinking about a subscription again

My kid would think that was beyond awesome

This has come up here before. Do a search, someone had a hand written version

Yes bit too 70s on the spacing - it's only a centimetre closer to bridge than 60s I think Nice though it does need tort really

Is she from Essex ? Mine would say that - she just doesn't understand mojo. "Antique is a polite word for 'second hand' " she said recently

Gub paid quickly and stayed in touch throughout. Happy to deal again

I thought the venue paid the PRS ?
