Last month I nearly packed in guitar playing, well at least the electric side of my guitar playing.
I have a decent enough Electric Guitar, a Peavey T-60 but a little 12 Watt Kustom Amp that sounds like Poop on a good day. Between the guitar and amp I used a Zoom G2 that has pretty good tones when recording and using headphones.
Through the Amp though, the distortions all sound like early ZX-Spectrum computer games, some of the effects are decent, Chorus, Flanger etc, but I am after some good distortion tones and clearly Zoom are not up to this.
Unpacked my Line 6 Pocket Pod and I was impressed with the distortion tones I can get out of this tiny unit, but the thing is not practical, especially If I join some Metal Band and my rig looks like this ? :
I borrowed my son's Marshall MG30DFX and just cant seem to get any decent sounds at all?
Are the Cube's any better, or do I pursue the valve amp route, or is there a decent Distortion Pedal where I can Dial in some meaty KSE tones.
But the main reason for my post is that I need to acquire an Amp, something that will be reasonable for noobie electric guitarist, An all round amp that can accomodate Jazz, good clean tones as well as reasonable distortion...
