    Need help deciding which half stack to get?

    Just the post I was looking for, this really helped. Ive researched those options, I have decided to go with your philosophy of buy it once & save a little more to buy the JVM210H. From what Ive heard Marhshall's have a better metal tone to my ears than Peavey.. at least I think so. Thank you!!

    String gauge help

    I got .10 D'addarios and they are sooo much better than the Ernie ball super slinkys, damnit. If I ever did tremolo on the low e string with super slinky it sounded like a cat dying but it sounds nice and warm with d'addarios. Im still getting that cheap sound with the higher strings though.

    String gauge help

    I dont know what size im looking for, Ive been using Ernie ball super splinkys and I think the tone has always sucked but it grew on me. I thought the gauge of the string effected the thickness of the tone and well, I sorta want thicker but dont know which gauge I should step for?

    String gauge help

    Ive been pretty much using Ernie ball super light gauge strings my whole life, and I'm ready to get rid of that cheap sound from the higher strings. What type of strings will give me a good solid sound on the G B and E strings that I could get on ebay? Thanks
