[QUOTE="Leif, post: 6256648, member: 48762"] I had just one amp for years and years -- a Crate P.O.S. Took me forever to figure out that it was what was wrong with my playing. Next, several months ago, I got two little 5W practice amps by Gibson, or so the ebay ad said, but nowhere on the amps does the Gibson name appear. Oh, well. They work great. Then I got a little 10 or 15W Marshall. Tiny, but it packs a wallop. And last week I got in my 40W Peavey Vypyr VIP 2 1X12, along with a Gator case to hold it. I'm ready now. For effects, I have a D.O.D. Overdrive pedal and an Electra Phase. The cool thing about the Peavey amp is that it has a couple dozen effects built in -- various distortion settings, as well as chorus, delay, and I'm not even sure what alll else. I haven't had a chance to sit down and play with it properly yet. But I have seen ALL the pretty lights that shine when you turn that bad boy on. [url=http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/VypyrVIP2/]Peavey Vypyr VIP 2[/url]. Oh, yeah, the 'unusually long shipping delay' mentioned for the VyperVIP2 turns out to be about a week. At least for me it did. A Fender amp is a quality investment. Kudos on your choice there. I've seen the Orange amps, but haven't heard one. I was tempted, but I could get a bigger Peavey with lots of bells and whistles for a good price, and I'm familiar with Peaveys, whereas an Orange would, for me, be a pig in a poke. The coolest thing is the deal I got from [url=http://www.sweetwater.com/shop/guitars/]Sweetwater[/url] for the Epiphone Les Paul 100, the 40W Peavey amp, and Gator cases for each of them -- 24-month, no-interest financing. It was too good to pass up. If I have a regret, it's that I didn't get higher $ equipment, but that's just blowing smoke -- I'm perfectly happy. My Epiphone Les Paul 100 looks just about identical to my Enworld Avatar. Also, I'm learning now that effects pedals are not always necessary to get special sounds. There's something to be said for Spinal Tap amps that crank all the way to 11. [/QUOTE]
