And it's a lot cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwi Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 I hope the unit doesn't colour the sound too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niceguyhomer Posted July 15, 2007 Author Share Posted July 15, 2007 If anyone's interested, I AB'd the TC Vintage and T-Rex at Soundsgreat (Manchester) and couldn't see any reason for paying the extra £35 (except for the aesthetics) for the TC, so I bought the T-Rex in toxic waste green. I gigged with it last night and initial impressions are very good - it ain't a Multicomp but it does the job very nicely indeed. I really like the simplicity of the thing and the chicken head knobs give it a vintage feel as does the 60's avocado bathroom suite casing. F it, it's dark on stage anyway.
