    • hola!

      my awesome head unit is dead beyond repair which is rubbish

      but

      i have been offered a 30watt vox valvetronix for £80 by a very kind man which is a fucking ace deal. i already own a 30watt marshall solid state. this is what i propose doing with it:

      guitar --> tuner --> big muff --> splitter --> channel A + channel B

      channel A - marshall on a slightly crunchy clean
      channel B - vox on same but has built in effects so whatever works.

      is this just total shit?

    • Running amps together rules, do it man. Only thing I would do though, have the big muff after the splitter so one side runs a bit cleaner.

      Try both, whatever suits you.
      Sounds good to me.

      Amen. Try allsorts, the best tone is whatever sounds good to you, really. There is no right or wrong when it comes to amp configurations.

      everyone laughs at me but i have a granny trolley, its not got the tartan bag on it though. check a camping or fishing shop, they have loads of stuff like that for dragging equipment round. the proper name is a sack barrow I'm told.

      makes it so much easier to get stuff round.

    • i'm down with that. i don't own a car and renting one everytime i want to use my stuff would be insane. granny trolley plus bungees seems like a decent compromise.

      either that or strap them onto the longboard for that authentic dogtown vibe.

    • i think mine cost me a fiver, its good but i think maybe i'll go for the next one up when it needs replacing.

    • i may put flames up the side of mine and dangle mirrors from it.
