Can you tell what kind of guitar amp this is?

[xilddx]

I bet you're thinking it's a nice valve amp or something? The sound quality ain't that great though, but I think the sound's character comes though.

Hmmm.

It's gonna be something really unlikely like... an Argos baby monitor!

No, it's not a Pignose

[Bassman Sam]

Your floor pod thingy?

[icastle]

Is it designed for guitar or bass or neither?

[hamfist]

Instantly sounds like a modeller of some sort to me. SOunds way too authentic and high quality for a home recording to be an actual amp.

[thisnameistaken]

Whenever anyone challenges people to a 'Guess the amp' it's software. So maybe it's a DAW plugin or a Line 6 something or other.

These sorts of challenges are made easier by the fact that 99% of people who have ever said they can recognise the sound of a particular amp were lying.

God, too much reverb! Bloke thinks he's Steve Vai!

Does sound pretty sweet though; I'm gonna go with a 1959 Fender TV Bluesmaster Mk. IV Hyper Mach III Ultra-Verb XXX 5150 Type V7.

Boss tweed obviously.

Sounds a bit like a hot-rodded Marshall type. There's a lot of those.

Ok, since this little challenge has been so damn popular, I will give you the answer

[i]Strat with Lace pickups >[/i]

[i]Boss CS-3 Compression Sustainer, Boss CH-1 Super Chorus, Boss DD-3 Digital Delay with Keely mod and set to analogue mode, Blackstar HT Dual valve distortion/overdrive >[/i]

[i]into the clean channel of a Fender Hot Rod DeVille 4x10 2 channel valve amp with a THD Hot Plate [/i]

I sold the lot and got a POD X3 LIVE. Clearly that was the right thing to do

If you're going to use that many effects you may as well Nice playing though Nige.

I've been quite enjoying noodling at home through Amplitube 3 lately with my Strat into an AC30 patch. It's not quite the same as the real thing, having owned one, but at practice volume it's not different enough for me to care. I tend to find the real test for digital stuff is when it has to compete with a full band rehearsal. I'd be interested to try a sansamp or pod in that situation, but considering you'd have to lug something to make it loud anyway I'm not sure I see the point when I already own a valve amp.

[ezbass]

I can rarely tell what amps are being used unless they're totally clean with no fx. I can sometimes tell from the drive channel too (again if unaffected) but this is rarer. Nice playing there Nige, you're obviously no slouch on the guitar either.

[Schnozzalee]

Roland Cube. I gotta learn that song now; every time I hear Rush, I have to listen to it for at least a week afterwards

I gig my POD X3 direct to desk with both guitar and bass, and I just rely on the stage monitors. I use it for everything. I haven't gigged or recorded with an amp for a very long time. No issues.

Couldnt really do that in the rehearsal rooms or venues I play (not that we gig often), the monitors are either non existent or shocking IME. Our rehearsal room's PA can barely handle vocals let alone guitar too...

I use a little 30 watt Peavey at the moment though so it's not too much hassle to cart.

Yeh that's fair enough, ours has Marshalls, Trace, Roland Jazz Chorus, Behringer .. So I always have something to go into at rehearsals.

I can't wait until someone invents inflatable cabs.
