barrymclark Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 Just for fun. Anyone interested in this amp that wants me to look at something or try regarding it? Sort of a cool story behind this company. Sort of like the Heritage story in a way. Some former Marshall employees got together and started up making their own amps. I've hear people playing them in the stores and they have a good tone but it is always high gain stuff people are playing.
DetroitBlues Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 All I've heard is the demo's on youtube from Anderton's Rob Chappers. Sounded great, but no idea if they are worth it.
barrymclark Posted December 16, 2011 Author Posted December 16, 2011 It would REALLY have to be a piece of crap to not be worth it if it costs $350.
DetroitBlues Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 Peavey Valveking 112 is a little bit more than that, so is the Bugera at that price point....
barrymclark Posted December 16, 2011 Author Posted December 16, 2011 Peavey Valveking 112 is a little bit more than that, so is the Bugera at that price point.... Yep... and the reliability issues with those are, from what I hear, not unlike the Class 5. Still though.... if it sounds good.... it sounds good. That's all I am there to check out. I will let others determine where or not the risk is worth it or not. I gotta say though... the thought of having Brian one day do a beefed up (power wise) version of the Class 5 is VERY intriguing.
DetroitBlues Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 Gotta leave some time for the poor guy to play his guitars though.... That's why I'm not pushing for anything new at the moment....I have to remember he has a job and a family, amps building is just a hobby...

You talk like I have the money to take up his time with amp building.
DetroitBlues Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 Planning costs nothing, but takes up time though... I also have a unique build project in the works.

Guest HRB853370 Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 The HT5 has no balls. I sold mine within 3 weeks of owning it. Hell, I had a transistor radio from the 60's that played louder than that amp.

DetroitBlues Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 I found a mini-stack Blackstar HT5 head, with two 1x12 cabinets for $339... Pretty cool. Don't need or want it, but its still pretty cool.

Don't need or want it, but its still pretty cool. I played a combo and mini-half-stack with the HT5. I thought it sounded pretty good. I liked it a little better than the Marshall Class 5.
