Whats up Viking?
it's time for me to retube my beastful 2203. I currently run 6550's, (tungsols). I like hard rock to old metal like early metallica, etc. I'm not an 80's hairband guy though. I play a lot of 90's alt like nirvana, silverchair, and even do some pixies, toadies, and melvins. I also like to play some stoner/doom rock and really get off on some old sabbath, etc.
I know you swear by the 2203's, so recommend me a good 6550 or kt88 for my amp. I would like an earlier breakup if possible a little more on the lines of the EL34, but I don't want to loose the characteristics of the boomier tigher 6550/kt88 combination. Do you have any suggestions?
I'm not rich either, so I can't go premium NOS. I'd have to stick to a readily available, typcial, current production tube.
Also, i'd like to add you as a friend if you don't mind, so I can pm you easier in the future. If this is o.k, with you, I'll send you a request, or you can send me one, either way.
yeh i was in a chillis influenced 4 piece a litle while ago and then we lost our bassist and couldnt get a replacement soo that fell apart, but me and the singer are working together now in an acoustic duet thingo, but rock n roll is my main style, but its all good experience i spose, i wish i could get in a rock band soon tho
I read your comments on one of the threads reg. TSL 100 and 1960. You sound like you know your stuff well. Well, I just bought a half stack just this week.
A few questions for you, if you dont mind:
I read so much about TSL 100 and how versatile it is supposed to be. I dont seem to get things straight with this.
I cant imagine how one could get a good metal sound out of this. The crunch channel cant be bothered for power chords, or at least I wasnt able to get a proper sound out. I play mainly prog. metal, do you think I should use the crunch for that matter or go to the Lead channel?
The manual says I cant connect distortion to the loops. How am I supposed to use my effect, Boss Metal Core, with this head and cab? I was actually hoping not to use any effects with this set up. But I dont think the TSL 100 and 196o could do it without additional effects.
Would really appreciate your expert comments.
