Laney make some incredible valve amps at great prices. The low power class A amps are brilliant.

So don't talk about stuff you don't know about.

Why do you say that I don't know what I am talking about? I have had some Laney amps over the years and they are not very good, but they are not bad either.. One really good thing I can say about them is that they have really, really good distortion.

So don't come and say that I don't know what I'm talking about. And in the amp part that's my opinion.. You have the right to have yours.

Well, it does help when you back your claim up with something...

Earlier you just said 'no', and it looked like you just said no for the hell of it.

Laney is a good amp.  Tony Iommi as well as Steve Vai use them.  I've played on one several times, good value for the money.  There are more amps out there than a Marshall ya know.

Can we just talk about the amps?  Roll Eyes

I like the config for the Laney TT50 (http://www.laney.co.uk/show_prod.php?title=TT50). Any comments?

Yeah, that one is actually really good.. Great sound, but with really high distortion the sound gets out of shape.

Man, now I'm really confused. What I'm looking for is a decent tube combo amp for say $650 that'll give me as close a tone to Slash's tone as possible (I know that's not possible, but the keyword here is 'close'). I've looked through amps from Laney, Traynor and Randall... The Traynor is the best bet, but difficult to get... The Laney I can get, but I've no idea how they sound... Aaahh  confused

For Slash sound galore (in a tube combo) get the Marshall DSL 401, but I think it's a bit more expensive than 650,- bucks. The nicest tube amp in that price range is the Fender Hot Rod Deluxe - not very Slashy though. If it doesn't have to be a tube amp, check out the Marshall AVT hybrid combos or the solid state MG series.

The Marshall DSL 401 has two problems - It's more than I can afford and I've heard it heats up too much and stuff.

I don't want anything Fender. I just hate the Strat sound. So...

It has to be tube.  yes
The brands I listed above are good, only Laney I'm not sure of. Traynor is very good and so is Randall. The only problem is they're not so easily available...

i just bought a fender hot rod, and believe me, it doesn't sound like a strat. this baby can scream and wail better than most marshalls i've owned.

i got a Carl Martin Overdrive to. i'll record something with this, this afternoon and u'll be the jugde of the sound.

i'll tell you this amp has the best sound ever. from stevie ray vaughn to led zeppelin and with the right pedals it can scream like zakk wylde in Pride and Glory and Slash or whatever u want.

the only problem is it's to loud to play at home, the amp is reallly loud. and the louder it gets, the better it sounds.so it's tempting, but the neighbours may wanna kill you after one hour of playing with it.

i'll tell u this much, if it was stolen i'd buy another one this instant.

the other guitar player in my band also bought a new amp, a Marshall JMP ( the one slash recorded AFD with, the Jubilee head) that's the only marshall i've heard to have that typical Marshall sound. but it's way to expensive for what u wanna spend. and it's so freakin loud it hurts.

Laney LC-15R or VC-15R.  Probably less than $600 and a lot better value than anything else you'd get in that price range.

Who the hell needs a 40w valve amp. You wouldn't be able to get power tube distortion without deafening people.
