    Ibanez Wholetone WT-80 Jazz Guitar Amp

    mailvilla said:

    OK, so you want to know how the amp sounds with effects pedals. I set it up with (1) Black-13, (2) Metal Zone, (3) Boss DS-1, (4) Digiteck RP50 multi effects, (5) Digiteck Reverb, (6) Big Muff, and (7) Cry Baby Wah-Wah 5350. They were wired in a series with Monster Cables. They all sounded flat...

      I love the sound of your amp, so I bought it. But, it is back-logged for orders. No store has them in stock. So, I bought it in a big USA Company (Guitar Center) for $379.00, via mail delivery to my home. But, I need to wait until the middle of October for it to arrive. Also last month, I boug...

      I am sorry, I just thought of one more question: #4:

      When I strum a cord using a clean channel in most amps - it is a clean sound. However, if I strum it hard - it gets dirty sounding. Does the Ibanez amp stay clean with heavy or hard pick strokes for cords?

      Thanks again,

      Thank you for you fast reply. If you do not mind, I have a few more questions for you:

      (1) You mentioned you are using a 10 volume in demo All amps that I have seen go from 0-10 volume. Therefore, was your demo sound totally maxed out, and that is the loudest it will go? Sounded like a 2...

      mailvilla said:

      Another feature I noticed was that you can keep all the knobs (except chorus and reverb) at 12 noon position, and it works fine. There really seems not to have big changes when you move them left or right. For example, look where the knobs are on the Ibanez company's demo. Yup, about all high...

    Thank you for the tip, per turning down neck volume. I just never had any other guitar that I needed to do that. Are all G5120 guitars like mine?
