Amp/speaker advised needed

Chonker · 04-17-2008, 08:04 AM

I've decided that the main problem I have with my sound is my little old Peavey Envoy 110 Transtube combo. I play through a POD X3 Live, and with headphones is sounds wonderful, clarity and brutality in perfect balace. When I play through my amp it sounds muddy and unclear.

I'm looking for advise, I'm not sure really if I should get another combo or a small cab and poweramp? My main problem is space, I can't really get away with anything much bigger than what I have, perhaps a single 12" or 2x10" at the very most. I want something that's going to give the sound I get in my headphones basically.

All advice appreciated

take off the cab sim when you're using the Envoy, maybe the amp sims too

budda, the cab sims aren't the problem here, he's running a POD right into the input of an ss 1x10 combo amp. anything is gonna sound like shit through it. i should know, i have an Envoy 110

.

chonker, a power amp and 1x12 cab or a 1x12 combo with an effects loop are your best bet.

I see we have different experiences then :P

If I take off the amp/cab part I loose alot of the gain in the sound and substituting it for the gain channel on my combo isn't right and generates ALOT of hiss.

I've a friend who has a poweramp and 4 x 12 cab, I'm going to take my pod and guitar around to his and see what it sounds like. I guess a 1 x 12 will sound similar but just "smaller" as in the sound emission and direction will be tighter? (it's difficult to put this stuff into words or what?)

less sound spread, yup.
