| That's awesome and definitely gives me an idea what this amp's tone is capable of dialing into. Awesome video. Thanks again. |

The axe and amp look like perfect matches for each other. I have very similar gear preferences to you. Cheers Dave |

| @greco: its a worn brown epiphone dot studio that my wife bought me. I changed the hardware to nickel, added a pickguard, added a second tone and volume knobs, dropped in some SD alnico II pros, and here's the big one...I buffed the matte finish to a glossy shine! It truly was a labor of love but I had played a gorgeous original 1970's 335 in brown bit it was going for way more money than I had. So my wife bought me this as a 30th birthday gift and I made it my own! Oh and the inlay are very thin perloid stickers! Cheezy I know bit they don't interfere and give it that look! |

| Hmmm...okay guys and gals, I finally had a chance to crank the Roland up and with the master and normal volumes setat 3.5 on a scale of 10, I'm noticing some strange chassis rattle. I cant seem to locate the cause of the noise. Its only on certain notes. Is this common for this amp. I haven't even introduced any form of overdrive! I checked all the bolts and the speaker. I thought it was the spring Reverb but I took it out of the equation and it still exists! The entire purpose of the amp was for home and jam practice but if its make noises already...I'm a little concerned about cranking it any louder. Any thoughts...it appers to happen on some octaves of E and other random notes and before anyone suspects the guitar...I actually tried my stratocaster and got the same results! Thoughts?

| I have the exact same amp. I bought it used about a year ago. Mine is in almost mint condition though. Like it was never used outside the home type of condition. I love this amp. I play a telecaster through it for both jazz and blues. I even use the overdrive channel and that seems to add a little fatness to the tone. Add a little more overdrive and it gives a nice bluesy tone. I too love it's simplicity. Probably one of the best solid state amps ever made. As for the above mentioned chassis rattle I don't experience that ever and I use this amp in a 4 piece blues rock band at volume. Last edited by OldGuitarPlayer : 11-22-2011 at 03:58 PM. |
