yeah i play lead guitar. i really want an amp that gives me a really clean sound and then i can put my effects pedals down and get my different sounds from that.
i just join a band that play all this new punk and new metall guff, but i would like an amp head that would be well suited to playing dave matthews, radiohead, jeff bucley and the like.
If you want a clean sound, why not use a transistor amp? - I'm currently building a bass amp and a lead amp, on preamp PCB's I bought - I'm planning using 120W MOSFET output stages. I don't play, but my 13 year old daughter plays bass (I bought the guitar board at the same time as the bass one, on the grounds she might start guitar some time - she started drums as well last week, guitar can't be far away! - she already does piano, flute and sings)
do you know what the name of the valves i need for a jcm 800 are and what transformers i will need?
