100W@4ohms ? Is that right?

This could be completely irrelevant but - I was playing a pub gig recently and using the same settings as with other gigs etc but it sounded like i was getting some distortion (harsh rasping tone) when we did a sound check. Now I always listen out front without ear protection when we do the sound check and it did sound harsh - however when i put my earplugs (etimotic thingies) in it revealed that everything was absolutely fine (simply too loud for the space)...my point being that it is sometimes very difficult to tell whats going on when playing at very high volumes as the human ear starts to give up and compress everything to noise with some frequencies becoming more prevelant than others.. and yes we did turn it down!

I realise that's probably not what's going on here but where the human ear is concerned i have noticed that when you turn things up they dont just simply get louder.

I have been using a Boss ME 50 B and have been very impressed with it - a very good one box does all solution, it has an excellent range of compressor/limiter options, built in tuner, expression pedal and programable effects - pretty well does everything and there's a noise gate built in too. Well made and relatively inexpensive plus a fair few crop up second hand.

As it is i don't really use effects any more so mine's likely to be one of those that pops up in the for sale fairly shortly.

i use one of these with my 121p combo and it makes an excellent compact rig, thoroughly recommend it.

Blast...damn shame I'm so far away!

Total bargain!

I tried one of these a while back along side MIM and US jazzes...couldn't believe how good it was.

Here's my tiny little rig[attachment=68551:MBrig.jpg]

where abouts in the country are you?

I play in a covers band and this was the initial spur for me to play 5 string (transposed song keys and a number of songs that needed D or lower). However a blast of GAS for another ACG meant I have now started playing a 4 string again and whilst I have put a D tuner on to cope with some of the songs I am really enjoying it. I was getting a bit lazy on the 5 string and sat around the 5th fret playing everything without thinking (probably only a problem if you're playing standard covers stuff) - the 4 string has forced me to revisit the way I play, which is no bad thing.

Out of interest do you know the month of manufacture?

I use a Line 6 Relay G50, having tried several wireless units I concluded this was the best for me. I tried 2 other digital systems the Stageclix (very nicely made, but would need and extension cable to move the sender away from the guitar body if using an active, due to interference) and a Brace DWG (noisy, massive latency, loss of low end and ate batteries - but cheap).

Other big plus point with the Line 6 is the battery life and level indication is excellent so there's no chance of getting caught out with a loss of power.

I'm quite interested in this as I'm find 4 strings on the lovely ACG not enough sadly - I'd have to sell it first though.
