Psycho Killer - Talking Heads

Monet For Nothing - Dire Straits

Intensely irritating plonker. I'd watch Danny Seppuku though.

I have the 100 and the 500 combos. The 100 is loud enough for most stuff I play (pubs) but the 500 has more power (obviously) and disperses the sound better so I use that a fair bit too. Both are cracking amps and, in my opinion, sound best when the 'vintage' button is engaged.

I Knee to Know - Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers

Great shout.

I'd Rather Go Blind - Ella Fitzgerald

Prayer for the Dying - Seal

Blockheads - Ian Dury & the Blockheads

Stagger Lee - Lloyd Price

I Can't Give You Anything - The Stylistics

Don't think I will ever forget the time we turned up for a function gig at a hotel and were told it was upstairs. We were then told we couldn't go up the main staircase but had to lug our gear up a fire escape. The memory of that and my SMX combo have become the stuff of nightmares. I would die if I had to do it now.

Keep on Running - Spencer Davis Group

Just picked up a TC Spark Booster off the forum and first impressions are very favourable. It's nice and flexible depending on what you're looking for and none of the options sound straight 'bad' which is nice. As to the topic of the post, I play in 3 piece bands these days playing mainly Rock and a bit of growl fills the sound out, particularly when the guitarist is soloing.

I'd go straight for a second hand Zoom B3. Probably pick one up for around £80 and you wouldn't even need to buy a board or a power supply.
