So I'm in need of a Halfstack but...

VicerExciser · 12-11-2007, 11:38 PM

im not the richest person in the world at the moment.

Today while jamming with my friend for the first time ever,
since i never knew he actually could keep a beat or play that
well, I was reminded of the shittyness of my combo amp at...
4... yes, 4. It's pathetic so I was wondering if I should just
buy a Line 6 Spider III HD 150 half-stack or save up for
a Vader cab and then possible a 6505+ head.

I'd imagine you'd be better off with the second option.

i suggest checking out used music stores before doing anything -.- also go to any music store and play through some amps just to get a taste of what all have to offer.. i know it seems noob'ish but if your in a zakk wylde funk you may buy a epiphone les paul that you will regret (as example) just keep your options open man

unless you absolutely NEED a new amp and cab for playing live/ recording, etc. right now, it would be best to save for the 5150/ Vader. you're only going to be wasting more $ on gear you don't like by buying the spider III stack.

ed is right. and do you really need a halfstack? 120W of peavey brutality isnt quiet :P

and thanks Ed
im pretty sure i wont be recording any time soon
so i think ill save up for the head and cab
but... i wanna try other heads like the Peavey XXX
so im still open to more suggestions

budda · 12-12-2007, 01:12 AM

used 5150 on top of a vader 212. its not a half stack, but im preeeettty sure it'd blow brains out.

with the triple X, you will probably fall in love with the crunch channel long before the ultra lol (feels more raw and open, the ultra is super tight and focused)

since you're lookin, go play some amps

Rick · 12-12-2007, 01:13 AM

5150 and Vader.

loktide · 12-12-2007, 03:14 PM

don't waste your money in compromise solutions like a spider head. Be patient and invest in a 5150 + vader.

I am the one who is always exhuming I am the one you think you see at the darkest of nights I have yet to reconcile the thoughts within myself for still I am one with the dead Oh, sanguine blood of thy corpse Quench my thirst and stain my skin Oh, how ironic it is to feel so alive when you cease to exist... I adore what I have become.
