Fabulous! I always wondered why my Amps could never make those special sounds and hold high sustains.
I FOUND IT in the BOSS GT-10. Best money you’ll ever spend. It’ll take you days to go through all the built-in presets (200),
but it will be a lot of fun. The only things missing are Drums and Software for recording, although it does have a USB port.

This amp gets some great sounds using a strat or a 335 straight into amp with no pedals. The volume in the room was very loud though. The brightness switch is always ON for that glassy fender sound. The Celestion Vintage 30 speaker sounds noticeably smoother after it has had some time to break-in. I sped up the process by connecting the speaker directly to a 400w mono QSC power amp and played the local R&B/Rap radio station through it for about 8 hours at a safe volume. When I got home from work and reconnected the speaker, it sounded fantastic.
The overdrive settings starting at 1:30 were:
(Channel 1)
Gain: 8
Volume: 2
Treble, Bass, Middle all three set to: 5
Boost: OFF
Presence: 6
Reverb: 5
Stock tubes were replaced with ‘early breakup’ set (see below) of JJ Electronic Eurotubes:
http://www.eurotubes.com/
Traynor YCV40 – High gain option.
A pair of the JJ 6L6GC’s along with three hand picked high gain ECC83S’s with one of them being balanced for the phase inverter in V3. For you players who need a little more edge! These are fixed bias amps so please use the comments box before checking out to let me know if your after max headroom, middle of the road, or an earlier breakup from the clean channel so I can pick the proper grade for the power tubes.
The 335 humbuckers were a DiMarzio Air Norton in the bridge and a Gibson ‘57 Classic in the neck. The strat was a mahogany Fender American Select Stratocaster HSS with a Diamondback humbucker and two Tex-Mex single-coils.
Check out bulgerian guitarist Nikolai karageorgiev’s (koliok) excellent demo of the Traynor YCV40wr here:

i want the black crowes rich robinson tone or keith richards tone. that 50s fender twin sound but not with that price. i want a tube amp. im lookin at fender hot rod deluxes and blues devilles/deluxes. please help me!
The cheapest tube amps I know of are the Kustom practice amps… I think the model number is 12A…. and the Epiphone Valve Jr. Kustoms are pretty sweet amps, they sound very good, and the Epi Valve Jr is pretty modifiable. Both can be purchased for less than 150$ us, and the head version of the epi valve jr can even power a 4×12 – it’s completely giggable (is that a word? it is now…).
They’re both a little thicker sounding than the fenders – they’re not metal amps by any means, but they can be dialed in to have a good rock tone – I would suggest investigating them to see if they’d work for you. Both of them are lower-wattage with smaller speakers – meaning a bit quieter than a full-blown combo amp or head with a stack. The biggest difference is less headroom – but again, it’s a matter of preference.
If you want something bigger or better…. well, you’ve gotta pay to play. Quality tube amps are not cheap, and never will be.

I’ve been interested in investing in an effects pedal for my electric but i’m really not sure which type of pedal would be best. I would like one that is a good, kind of cheap price but still good quality.
Single function effect pedals come in many varieties and features and can be both simple and complex to use. You have to first figure out the application you will use such a pedal. Do you need more gain from your amp? Then go with either a distortion, overdrive, or fuzz pedal. Do you like modulated sounds? Then chorus, flanger, and phaser pedals will offer plenty of swirl and thickness for you. Do you need ambient or time-based sounds? Then either a reverb or delay pedal will suit you fine. There are plenty of other single-ended pedals that offer different shades of effect besides the more popular effects listed above (i.e. uni-vibe, rotary speaker, octave, ring modulation, etc.,) but these are effects that are often used in moderation and probably shouldn’t be your first purchase.
Depending on what you choose, a pedal can cost you as little as $40 to as much as $400. Generally speaking, the pecking order in price for pedals begin with the distortion/overdrive pedals being the least expensive, to the modulation effects being in the middle, and the time-based effects being the most costly.
Below are four excellent pedal manufacturers for the stomp-box neophyte. All offer the type of effects listed above, are reasonably priced and should be easily accessible at your local music store:
BOSS
DigiTech
MXR
Electro-Harmonix
The most important advice we can offer, however, is to try a number of pedals out and see which one is right for you. Don’t be afraid or intimidated to ask your local music store sales person to demonstrate a few different pedals for you. Each one will have its own distinct flavor, and you’ll have to decide what is right for you.
I have a Marshall guitar amp. When the volume is on low the sound is perfect. When I turn the volume up it makes a "crackling" sound. Almost as if the sound is being turned up and down constantly. Is this blown or is there another problem.
Try the same scenario with a different electric guitar and guitar chord. If the amp still. Does it then you will know its the amp. The crackling sound you speak of could be a bad chord, or something loose in the electronics path from the pick up to the guitar.
I got a guitar amp and I was wondering, what is the normal setting for it? My amp is a Fender Frontman.
I will echo one point everyone is making, which is that it IS largely a matter of opinion. However, there are some other key points to consider.
First, the fender frontman is a very nice little amp and as a fender it is definitely going to give you some nice clean tones (as one other person pointed out) that are very useful in certain styles of music such as jazz and blues (think about some of Stevie Ray Vaughn’s music and you’ll know what I’m talking about, though he also made very good use of some dirty tones as well).
Which leads me to my next point, style of music is also going to be a factor in how you set up your amp. If you are going for that classic rock sound, then one nice thing you can do with fender amps is to lower the bass a bit and crank the mid and the treble and get some really nice crunchy tones.
One more thing to think about is the type of guitar you are using (and even the pick you are using to play it with) can affect how you’ll want to adjust the settings on your amp.
These are all basically ideas on what will play a role on how you’ll want to set your controls. My biggest suggestion for you, however, is not to settle for what sounds OK, play with the controls until you get the tone that you LOVE out of this amp. What I generally do is to take a new amp and put all the controls in the 12 o’clock position and adjust from there and play with it until I get something that I personally feel is a great sound. There’s a good chance that you’ll find what someone else tells you is a good sound is not necessarily the sound you’ll fall in love with from your amplifier. This is one way to define what YOU sound like.
I have a Takamine G series (model number EG334SC) and I’m interested in buying an acoustic amplifier. I have two little amps at home but they’re not acoustic amps. First of all, is it even worth buying an acoustic amp if I already have the electric amps, and two, what are the better makes/models of acoustic amps in the price range of $200-$500? Thanks for the help!
I’m not planning on taking my act on the road just yet, it’s mostly just for entertaining myself and maybe friends or family (if they can stand it)
The Fishman Loudbox 100 is a great acoustic amp for $599. I’ve heard good things about the Genz Benz Shenandoah series which is in your price range. Ditto for the Ultrasound acoustic amps which have three in your price range.
The only disadvantage is replacing the tubes when they burn out. The advantage is the awesome warmth tube amps have.
