There are a reasonable few decent new(ish) UK bands - whether they can make the leap is another matter entirely. To name a few...:
Those Damn Crows
The Dust Coda
Tax The Heat
Mason Hill
Massive Wagons
TBH I’m not sure what power stage the Original uses; I’d guess it’s the same ICEPower board that the RM500 uses but couldn’t be sure one way or the other.
The Original 300... less sure again but I have a vague recollection that Mark Gooday hinted it WASN’T an ICEPower board for once.
There’s a demo on the Andertons YouTube channel of the RM and the Original head; my personal feeling is the Original 500 head has a sweeter sounding EQ than the RM but the RM has the drive, sub and compressor which make it more versatile as a standalone head. Depends on how you do all your tone shaping I guess.
If I didn’t already have 3 million amps I’d have an Original 500 as a spare, especially at the current Andertons price.
Wish I'd not gone not the Andertons site following this. Lots of other stuff is reduced too, though not as drastic in reduction there is still a lot to cause me pause for thought. Dammit.
Me too. Current count is 5, none of them are particularly prolific in rehearsing and gigging so I'm not madly busy but I'm covering rock, blues, pop, punk and kids music so can't complain.
Enjoy them all @AndyTravis
