had a bad flood a few months back- woke up to 15" of water in my finished basement, even with 2 sump pumps going. almost all of my guitars took some water on. They were all in the cases floating around like little boats.

Emotionally devastating to say the least. All of my electrics took have some serious finish checking, but surprisingly all the electronics work fine and they're playable. the Neck on my 79 LP custom twisted but it's fixable.

My acoustics were a different story- bracing let go, tops warped.... they're fixable, but 1000+ each, and who knows how well they'd hold up after. At this point I'd rather put that money towards a new one.

I really want a Gibby SJ200, but holy fuk they're expensive, plus I never see any around for sale that I can try out. Taylor has some really nice models, I test drove a 424ce the weekend that was dope, plus they have a BOGO deal right now where you can add on a travel size or a 3/4 mini for 100-200 bucks extra if you buy a 200 series or better....

so much to consider

Howdy W5....

I'm 'devastated' hearing your story.

I agree....I'd go with replacement based on you statement above.

Good luck on your decision.

Fender Champs are another very popular 5w amp. I haven't played one of those either, but I kinda want one.

nice, yeah I like the idea of getting a fender but I also do want to be able to get high gain lead, and I've heard Fenders kinda lack that

Hence why pedals were created. A decent boost or drive pedal with a Fender is often all you need.

Some amps sound good at higher gain but their clean channel is garbage. Of course you could always run two amps with aswitcher.

My signal chain: Boost > Drive (tube preamp) > Delay > ACS1* (Fender) > Fender cabinet

*Could be easily substituted for a Fender amp but the pedal sounds close enough at the volume I play at

My approach to tone has changed. I used to run though Marshalls or Laney's. and the clean tone always suffered.Now I start with the best clean tone I can dial up and use a OD, distortion or fuzz combo to get the dirt I need.

Really? The drummer I played with (now a well known session musician - he is the drummer for Plini) played pretty fiercely and I had to have my 100 watt Marshall cranked at absolute full blast just to hear my playing over him.

You really think 5 watts will cut it?

Any of you guys have a chance to try one of the new Kramer Nightswans? I'm kinda wanting one lol
No man has the right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training. It is a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable.

As am I. I think they're on sale at a specialist guitar store a few hrs drive up north, going for $1400 brand new. Great price. You can see the clip I posted earlier of the Kramer Baretta, even though it's cheaper it still sounds great with the right setup.


Glad to see Kramer making a gradual comeback, hugely underrated brand. I'd like to see them pushed for modern metal, too, to mix up the monopoly ESP and Schecter have on the market.

Please. I wish I still had some of those amps.

I had Gallien Kruger and Ampeg tube amps with amazing tone that put anything made today, with all their fancy bullchit to shame.

Amp simulators get it about 75% right.

It reminds me of film vs. digital 20 years ago. Once 24mp+ CMOS sensors were affordable it was hard to make a case for film and when 100mp medium format arrived the only reason to use film would be nostalgia. Axe FX III is that 100mp camera.

I've got a Walrus ACS1 on my board which does a Fender Deluxe Reverb and I go into a real Fender cabinet. Now if I had a Fender amp to plug into I'd just switch the pedal off. Best of both worlds. I don't have to worry about replacing and biasing power tubes. I agree with you gear has evolved and it's hard to make a case for that 80s gear. I still have a soft spot for 80s and 90s rack gear from Lexicon and Eventide. Most guitarists from that era are now using a Fractal to get those sounds but I'd still rather use those racks. They're just stupidly expensive now and difficult to repair.

Edit: 2 minutes in. This Aussie gets it.

My first amp was a Peavey Rage. Ridiculously loud for what it was + can of bees distortion. Indestructible.

Our Aussie mate loves his slow wide vibrato. He knows the Fractal stuff inside out so it's no surprise he gets great tones but you can tell he loves all the analog/tube gear as well.

My 2 cents — digital is incredible for clean and high gain tones. Where the real thing has the edge is at low gain, "edge of breakup," etc, but getting great tones at low volume can be a challenge. I do most of my playing late at night and I don't want to piss off the neighbours. And loading down a tube amp is no free lunch since you're going to burn through power tubes much faster and that's $200 plus in local money for a matched quad set of EL34s. Unless you feel comfortable biasing the amp that's more money for a tech to do it.

Go back to the 80s and great tone cost big bucks. When Vai joined DLR band he needed to loan some Marshalls from Steve Stevens because his Carvin rig wasn't cutting it. Today everyone on youtube and instagram can dial in those kinds of tones at bedroom volume. Don't need to know anything about speakers and miking cabinets.
