this is just the amp running through speaker simulation. in real life, this is one of the loudest amps i've heard. i enjoyed playing it from outside the house via a wireless unit.
@sloanstewart I play in my garage (which is a seperate building from my actual house) and we have a pretty large piece of land so sound dissipates quickly in the air. Good to hear it's loud, that's the whole reason I play out there lmao. I like noise. I play through a bass combo amp. does this amp have ok cleans when you roll back the gain n volume? or should i keep the combo (i love the cleans through it)?
would anyone with these amp, happily advise it for someone who likes playing chuggy riffs in a touring pop punk band, please give me some positives and negatives.
For pop punk, I think something more 'marshall' would work. Try a Peavey Windsor head with a Maxon 808 or other Tube Screamer variant in front, gain down/off, level to taste. Windsor's are super cheap and similar to a jcm800
Tony Iommi's early tone actually had almost no bass at all. He claimed he dimed the mids and treble, put the bass at 0, and used a treble booster, which would take even less bass frequencies out.
@themodernguitarist but the final mix was always heavy and bassy as fuck, even if it was just geezer producing the bass frequencies.
if you're not jamming with a band, it's good to capture a nice mix of all those tones through just your amp and guitar. at least when I play I try to get a good mix of crushing bass and razor sharp high end. and it works perfectly.
@sloanstewart Yeah, I knew the Sabbath part. :) Just didn't recognize the second part but you made it up so it explains why. :) Which cab would you recommend? GS412A? or GS412LS? Thanks. :)
I haven't tried any of the laney cabs, my ideal cab right now is a Mesa Standard with Vintage 30's. It's an oversized cab that sounds great and seems 'smoother' than others, the Mesa Traditional is a smaller Marshall sized cab. The past few years I have been using a crate blue voodoo cab with WGS Veteran 30's.
I think I actually ran this through speaker impulses. Simulates a mic'd up cabinet, but not as dynamic, so I should actually sound better with a real cab.
is this the amps distortion? or are you boosting it at all?

I would not recommend this amp for cleans. It is a one channel amp designed for TONY IOMMI.

If there were one word to describe Tony's tone, it would have to be 'murder' ;0) I have this same amp FOR SALE on eBay RIGHT NOW!

@sloanstewart how are the veteran 30's compared to the vintage 30's?
