thats because its $120, and the only people who purchase $120 amps are usually beginners, beginners have no sense of tone, and turn the gain to 10 and dont know how to dial in their tone....so when you first hear it, you think...wow this amp has no bite at all......mine sounds amazing....i do have a 6 band eq in front but thats only for that added mid...i give the amp 4/5 stars..worth the money
well look im gonna buy it and im not a beginner im only buying it cause its tube and i love cranking up amps but my retarded fender frontman15g distorts when loud so i need this 1
the peavey rage 258 is not a tube amp, its a transtube so its a transistor acting like a tube, it has some decent tones, especially when you turn it up! its a really powerful amp.
at the beginning,I was maybe too excited by this guitar,
for now:the 'action' is too big,i tried to drop down the strings a little,nevertheless it's too big
-the tune is not what i expected,I'm not a great guitarist with a great hearing,but it appears that some strings aren't in tune(G),and do not stay in tune as long as i expect/want.
so after all:it's a good guitar, but maybe i'm not as good guitarist/musician to tune/prepare it well.
That guitar is sweet considering it Hammetts cheapest model. I have one. My floyd is perfect. Came from the factory with very low action without buzz(which to me is better, not a flaw on the guitar. I replaced my pickups with some EMG 81's. The stock EMG-ESP pickups are not bad, but 81's rule!!!.
how exactly was your amp set at the moment of recording? did you use the clean channel only with the pedal plugged in or the lead channel (if so, what pre-gain did you use) ? thanks in advance
hey Man You Really Rock In Style , Very Nice playing I have the same Guitar And I would love 2 hear Comments From You On My Covers Cause i care About Comments From A man How Can Play, See u around my Friend.

guitarsrule2008 4 years ago
hm... it's my first guitar with floyd, so i can't tell you if it is a "real" floyd rose, imho it works fine, tunes very good, and i'm satisfied,
if ur not sure, go to shop and try it, it's the best way,
personally, i recommend this guitar.

guitarsrule2008 4 years ago
I've been playing for about 6 years, but with many breaks, unfortunately, it's not adequate to my skills :/,
it's just my second guitar, and since i've bought this guitar (2 months ago), i'm trying to play as much as possible ...
