Re: Why there are no more good SS amps?
I’ve heard great things about the Crush but I love my RV50 Mk III. Still would like to try the Crush or Super Crush 100.
More guitars than anyone could need

Peavey 5150

I've hung onto my old Randall 120ES for the same reasons mentioned here (it's not trying to model multiple amps).

I so want one of these still! That thing looks so cool.Spaced Out Ace wrote: ↑Sun Jun 23, 2024 3:12 pm ISP had the Theta head that seemed pretty cool, but the price, lack of quality demos, and the vast tone shaping options ultimately killed the amp.

I could've bought one used for $600, but I didn't because I could only find a few demos.linthat22 wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2024 11:58 amI so want one of these still!

That's interesting but very pricey for SS. I'll check out some clips though.zozobra wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2024 9:40 pm There is the snk vh300

Re: Why there are no more good SS amps?
No demand really, with all the great tube amps out. Didn't Marshall make that amp only because they were scared of tubes going away or something? Seems to me that most people either want digital modeling, or to turn their comp into a amp. But AMT still makes the Stonehead, Hiwatt has their Crunch series, Vox has the MV150, and H&K has the Black spirit that sounds good. And this heavy earth is working on the fleshrot

That and no store around me ever had one to demo.Spaced Out Ace wrote: ↑Sun Jun 23, 2024 3:12 pm ISP had the Theta head that seemed pretty cool, but the price, lack of quality demos, and the vast tone shaping options ultimately killed the amp.

Yeah it's pretty expensive, but I guess they're selling enough of them.Guitarbilly wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2024 10:02 pmThat's interesting but very pricey for SS. I'll check out some clips though.zozobra wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2024 9:40 pm There is the snk vh300

For simple and volume the Super Crush rocks. But Katanas are perfect for practice.greatmutah wrote: ↑Sun Jun 23, 2024 3:23 am The Orange Crush and Super Crush are like one of the few exceptions. The Katanas are sweet too but digital, not analog. But they’re also not chasing exactly a modeling sound. They have sounds they’re based on but they’re still Boss/Roland.
