His prices are very good, I'm just terrible at saving up money. I'm thinking about making it a xmas present for myself, I think I could put down a deposit when I order, and pay the rest when he goes to actual make the amp. He gave me a rough quote but we didn't really nail a final design. I...
I've been thinking the same thing too. I went with a C5 over the Phaez because I could play it before hand, and finance it through the store. When I have the chunk of cash together, I want to get an 18 watt Phaez. Whether or not I kept the C5 remains to be seen
on the Vintage Modern forum, the guy who designed the C5 (I forget his name, he posts alot in the Class 5 section there) he has suggested more than once that "there should be no problems" running the C5 through an 8 ohm speaker/cab. I've done it a few times with my 4x10 cab with no side effects...
I've been renting a used Marshall 1936 Lead cab (sticker price $470) for almost 2 months, I like the sound overall, but I'm not particular in love with the G12T75 speakers in it. I'm not exactly sure what I want for speakers, some more vintage though
should I:
- try to find a cab that...
Its more that I'm not liking the G12T75 speakers, I could save some money and trouble by getting an empty cab and putting in whatever speakers I do want (plus I could get a cab covered in the same green tolex as my C5 :naughty:)
GUITARFORCE Custom Pickups :thumb: They are pretty popular on the My Les Paul forum, Kevin from Guitarforce posts on there too, great guy with lots of info. I don't any experience with Fralin, but I hear good things about them too (so many pickups, so little time.. and money :laugh2:)
I like 'em :dude: I got a great price on this used set, Rebel PAF (neck) and Rebelfire (bridge), which makes the tone that much sweeter! I put them in my LP replacing a set of Skatterbrane Metalbranes. At 10k the bridge pickup has the extra bit of output I had been wanting, to push that pre-amp...
Let us know how that works. I have a Fender 4x10 cab that is currently only running 2 speakers. I may start trying out a bunch of different speakers and placing them where the sound best.
I borrowed a wire from the Fender cab (1/4" plug on one end, 2 clips on the other for attaching to...
I run my Class 5 and Champ together all the time, it sounds great to me, but the C5 would sound better with something else british, like an Orange or Vox (or another Marshall of course ;))
