Quote from: Pentagrimes on September 08, 2026, 12:38:24 PMresurrecting this for the craic..and because i'm about to have an Orange Dual Baby delivered in the next few days. I've had a Marshall origin 50  for the last while that I like but which wasn't quite what I wanted. Also I'm old and tired of lifting big amps so I'm more than happy to get something smaller and lighter. I rarely gig but it'll be nice to have something easier to carry when I do. Excited to try it out.
I got the gain baby a while back and have used it live a few times. Great compact amp. Stereo outputs so you can run two 4x12s. Takes pedals well too. I've run an empress heavy menace into clean channel.
Enjoy!

Yeah she lives in Killarney. At least that's what she told us. She is from Brazil. We did one gig with her and realised very quickly she was full of shit. Good riddance. Will probably try to pop up again under a different name.

I got the amarock 6 string a few years ago. It plays and sounds great. But the output jack broke soon after I got it. Easy fix. It seems the switches and pots etc.. are a bit cheap. Overall great value for money.

Quote from: Poley on October 25, 2024, 11:37:28 AMI've always had a DSL100, modded it a bit here and there but it's been my go-to for over 20 years and it's never let me down. However, more recently having to consider fly-gigs, I picked up a Victory V4 Kraken (the Rabea Massaad one). Two channel full valve preamp and a 180 watt solid power section to plug straight into a speaker, or a Two Notes cab SIM on a DI out. And the whole thing takes up a quarter of a pedalboard, it comes with me in hand luggage. Has a headphone jack for backstage practice, and even a 9V-out to power the other pedals on the board.

It is the fucking ticket, I must say. All the travel handiness and most of the gig/recording versatility of a digital modeller but with the clout of a real amp.


I got one of these as a backup amp before the last tour. The hired 6505's died after 2nd show and I ended up using it for the entire time.
Great bit of kit. I went DI to desk and went through a 4x12 at the same time.

I've been using a Digitech bad monkey just to push the front end of the amp.
Gain almost to zero etc..
I've tried and bought a lot of things but keep going back to this.
Never used an OCD tho.....
