I've been getting ready for a big gig in a few weeks down in the city. Been practicing with my band a lot, we are finally getting things down cold! Awesome! Well, my Marshall Valvestate VS265R just crapped out on me. (For those of you not firmiliar with guitar stuff... a VS265R is a nice big loud amp) Its probably the preamp tube. What a pain in the butt! Not to worry, I did have the extened service plan. So I went to the music store, they are sending it out for service, and got me a loaner... a very nice, or so anything with a pricetag of $700 used should be, Line 6 Flextone XL, another 100+ watt 2x12, but with all sorts of amp models and stuff. Its the supposed CR500AF of guitar amps. Get it to practice and it SUCKS! I was so mad I could almost throw it. (Probably not far though, its pretty heavy) It's so muddy it makes me sick. And on top of its lack of cutting tone, its a pain to set up all this stupid amp models, and feeds back like crazy, even at lower volumes! I miss the Marshall now more than ever. I can't believe something so expensive and something that has recived so much praise from the guitar world is such a piece of junk. Life can be so rude! :ugg:
I know, this is predominatly a dirtbike sight, but anybody that likes loud engines might just like loud amps too! Anybody else out there had any experiences with Line 6 stuff, or any other good guitar stuff stories?
Sorry to bother all of you that could care less about this guitar junk, but this is the flame board. And I'm burning like a 40oz bottle used for a Moltov ****tail! :p
