... but there's a method to my madness. It's the Powerblock and it was down from £200 to £50. I figured it's worth £50 for a 150w power amp to tide me over between selling my rack poweramps and getting my Orange Thunderverb. Besides, I'm only using it as a poweramp, so it can't sound that bad.

It can't be that bad. Is it the really small one?

Apparently their not too bad actually. A guitarist in a band I know did a gig with one of those and a korg toneworks pedal when his marshall JCM blew, and he said it sounded OK! It think theyre a pretty good concept to be honest.

I wouldn't buy one though

That thing doesn't sound bad at all!

The preamp section isn't super, but the power amp section is clean, neutral, and loud. What more could you ask from a SS power amp? I think it's fucking terrific.

That's what I'm hoping Bob, it should be here today. Besides, it was £50, you pay more than that for a pickup here.

That's a pretty great deal, and should be a good backup rig if you use a modeler. Actually, one of these plus a 1x12 closed-back cab would make a killer mini-rig if you use a floorboard modeler.

Sound Control, James?

Cos they are selling the Orange Tiny Terror for something approaching that. At least, thats what my mate said to me, but he works there.

Good score either way, £50 for a new 150W amp isn't shabby at all.

angryman is just really niceangryman is just really nice
i've actually got the crate practice amp with the same pre amp as the power block & it's not too bad, obviously it's not as good as some higher priced practice amps but it serves me well enough for working out new ideas.
Anyway £50 is a bloody bargain nuff said.
