First let me preface by saying I have spent the last three weeks annoying music store clerks trying to find the amp I want.
I kept reading everyone gushing about how solid state sucked and you must go with a tube amp.
Heard amazing reviews about the Peavey Valve king.
I plugged into it and I thought it sounded like a big turd, atleast with the built in distortion. I put my pedal on it and it sounded pretty good.
I plugged into a B52, though it actually sounded pretty good. With my pedal it sounded exceptional. When I turned it off this loud popping noise about took me off my feet. Tried another one got that same popping noise
Went to one last store and tried a RG75DG3. Sweat mother of God it was a beast. I never even bothered plugging my pedal in. Didn't need to. The drive was unmatched. This thing just growled. The low end was punishing. Nothing else I had tried came close. The leads were crisp.
But here is the problem. I'm thinking if Randall can do this with Solid State, what will there tube sound like?
I am unable to find an RG50TC that I can try out.
But the sound I want is thick, driving with muted palm, gutsy low end metal sound. Really like the thick low end.
For those of you who have heard both amps, which one would you recommend?
