    What are you learning?

    Just some thrash at the mo. Some Megadeth, Slayer, Testament... A few Dream theater songs, kinda, I can'T play the solos or a lot of the parts actually :lol: I suck at lead work, but I'm learning. I have the easy ones like Another Day and Silent Man. Got all of the rhythm down to Fatal...

    So Symphony X's Paradise Lost leaked.

    I got the album in about April from InsideOut, and I wasn't a huge fan at first (SymX are one of my top bands too), but after a few listens it grew on me. Fave song is surprisingly The Sacrifice.

    New gear - Peavey 5150

    Absolutely amazing combo to say the least. It's in perfect condition, and it's got casters as its a heavy bugger! But seriously, wow. At first I was a bit wary, because I'd heard bad things about the clean tone, but it's fine! It's not the best, but it's certainly not bad! But obviously, I...

    Amp information

    I advice to stay away from the Spiders. Just my opinion though. Best cheap SS amp IMO is the Peavey Bandit.

    Amp information

    I've never tried it with a High gain valve amp, so I wouldn't know for sure, I only assumed. I have a custom built valve amp, low gain, gets a kickass classic rock tone out of it when I get it really cranked. Thats why they invented attenuators right? So you could turn you amp up full, but...

    Amp information

    My advise if your getting a valve amp, is don't overdo it. there's nothing worse than buying an amazing amp, then finding it's too loud to crank! My advise is to get a small valve amp, that way you can crank it, and really get the good sound!!

    I ran into Michael Pinnella last night.

    Isn't that just the same as seeing them live then? :erk:

    Amp Recommendations?

    Forget Marshall, Line6 etc. Best cheap solid state amp going is the Peavey Bandit by far. Try one out, you won't regret it.
