I mean honestly dude just save your money and buy something that's cheap and loud. The Bugera will be fine for that, as will the "evil" twin -- which is basically a Model T reissue.

Have you listened to Blackened Soul's stuff? She does all her done DI, and it's rad.

A cool rigs a cool rig but it doesn't make good music. I mean we all love the gear here but it sure isn't the end all and be all of music. With out a good song/riff coming through it, its really better turned off isn't it?

That just brings us back to a good riff possibly sounding like shit through inferior gear.
The issue being, I want to get a better amp than I have now.

A good riff will never sound like shit. That's kind of the point. Good gear makes things sound better, but good songs/jams/etc. never sound bad because of gear.

It's like saying 'Give a man a Les Paul guitar and he becomes Eric Clapton,' you know. It's not true. And give a man an amplifier and a synthesizer, and he doesn't become whoever, you know. He doesn't become us."

It's the inverse principle of that.

Yeah, inverse principle. I'm going to sleep. WHORES. tomorrow. AWRITE.

You don't need the sexiest amp with the best pedigree to sound good, though. Tons of bands sound fucking KILLER with Laney AORs and Peavey VTMs and the like that they bought for a few hundred dollars. If you can spend 20% of the money you would on a Model T and still sound fucking good as hell with minimal risk of it sounding shitty (if you do your research and test things out) you're going to be perfectly happy, unless you actively talk yourself out of every other amp and you want the holy grail. The holy grail is going to be doper than all hell but you gotta be willing to work for it.

I feel like I'm not getting enough out of my amp.

Ahh, Roger, so humble.

On the subject of good cheap gear, Goroth has offered me a lead on an amp that is too good to pass up and will hold the gap until the sovtek can be fixed and the dunwich comes in. Maybe (hopefully) even beyond.
He asked me to price it though and I have NO idea (he doesn't either, he tells me) of how to do so.
Laney AOR 50w.
Uknown (?) condition. Probably decent, he says it has been in storage.
Sorry, Gor, I'm doing this out in the open dude cause I wanna be fair, and realistically these are the only guys I'm gonna ask about this.
What's a good, fair price on one of these? Median, not low-ball or blown out.
Ebay is unhelpful right now. Most of what I have read is in the $350-400 range. Is that about right?
I'm assuming it's in working order at this point.

Do you want amp dirt Bossk? Or rocking fuzzies/dirt pedals?

I found the aor 100 for 450
So about 350-400 to be nice about it.

I'm not even sure.
My 6260 has amazing dirt on it, but I really like to use my pedals to broaden my tone.
Either way is probably fine.
What did you have in mind?

In USD? I'd go pretty much in the middle of that, i.e. ~$375 -- how on earth are you going to ship that thing?
