rig change questions....

[LukeFRC]

I'm getting rig change itch.

I like nice clean transparent bass sounds. I like the fatness of my ACG equiped Warwick. It sounds great.

But I also think that the big clean sound is... well...

not a big warm valveyness.

But then if I found a fatter warm valve sound would I miss the clean quick response of my solid state amp?
Which I've heard reviewed that it sounds a bit like a clean high end valve amp anyway....

[LukeFRC]

theres not really a question there is there?

I'm thinking might go for a separate pre and power amp.

GAS IS EVIL!!! I'm going through a similar problem, but going from valvey orange head to a super clean GK. Just not convinced, is hard to work out.
I was thinking if hiring a gk head and cab from big fish and try it at our rehearsal space an see how it fits. Saves buying and selling!

Why not get a valve pre pedal (maybe one of them there DHA thingybobs)? That way if you want some valve/warmth/whateverness, you can get it & then go back to clean at the press of a footswitch.

I've seen reviews that the Puma 900 is supposed to sound better than the 1000. That's all you need to change.

Get a valve amp that doesn't have the mid scoop only Fender tone stack, and a decent power supply, and don't need to worry so much about losing the attack speed.
