@fenix478 I Used to think I understood what CRUNCH was, then I played a Custom 30 combo (yeah 30, never saw one before till I played it) and cranked the vol, and raised the master on it, and it seriously redefined CRUNCH for me, I used to think I could get crunchy tones, I WAS FUCKING WRONG! thick and growld so fucking much!!!!!! sabbath blooody sabbath tone PERFECTLY!!!

[belrocksg]

@slysendice I have actually cranked the vol (bright or normal, depending on which channel im using) and then slowly raised the master and that was all the gain i needed!!! I dont believee that GAIN is the key to a HEAVY or metal sound, if the tone is dark and heavy and mean, then you got it!!!!as lons as its not too clean, almost any dirty tone is dirty enough for me!!! BLACK SABBATH FOR DAYS!!!!

@GuitarFang I played a custom 50 (head) at my local guitar center a few months back, that thing was louder than all hell at maybe Vol:2!! ITS RIDICULOUS!!!!!!!

I pretty much dislike all HIGH GAIN models of any amp company! They Take an amp that sounds fierce and huge, andd start messing too much with them. I love hiwatt dont get me wrong, but this is what happens when you mess too much. It sounds thin, like nothing but high end, for some music that may be perfect, but I believee in a good solid AMP and then a good pedal to boost the amp into, if you will, metal territory!

@GuitarFang my amp sounds great at any volume... .. :)

What language is this guy speaking?

[GuitarFang]

Actually a lot of guitarists record with smaller amps, and have the big amps for live preformances. not just Townshend and Page. And basically because you CANT get a good recording with 100 watts of tube power and eight 12 inch speakers. a good 15 watts and two, or even one 12 inch speaker is just about right. sometimes more can be used. I'd say 50 watts of tube at the Max. But thats just from what I've observed.

@shredmaster100

Page mainly used really small tube amps in the studio because it was easier to get a cranked overdriven tone out of them compared to a marshall or hiwatt. I am no Page expert but I don't think he ever recorded with a big Hiwatt in the studio. Too much headroom and not enough gain.

I really want one of those but I don't have money:(

@rooockme I don't think "better" is what you're asking for. The Custom series doesn't have much gain until you turn it all the way up - it's mostly a clean amp. You use that for your clean and get distortion with effects pedals. However, the Hi-Gain 100 will give you distortion at lower levels, as well as the Custom clean sound.
