Yeah I know I couldn't work out what needed servicing either. I have played it before but I suspect I'll check it out this week, see if anything is wrong with it but will more than likely try and save pennies from this months pay day to purchase it.

Well sort of, I spent my money that I had saved for an amp on the duo that RobRoe is selling :) I'm trying to talk my friend into letting me buy his valvestate off him, he said it might need a service but still wants £80 so not sure on that, seems a little pricy. Definitely settled on a valvestate ...

Thanks everyone, been a massive help. There's a valvestate ending tonight on Ebay I'm going to go all out for that one. Will let you know and post pics if I manage to get it.

I really should try an amp out before I buy it but finding hard to put aside time so am looking just on Ebay. In your experience would a Vox be able to give me that Gallows/Forward Russia type sound? I play alot of other things as well but would mainly use it for that type of sound. Is a vox more or...

For some reason work ahs decided to block ebay so cant look at it at the moment, looked on google thougha nd they look pretty sweet. I've never actually played a Vox amp at all. If I was to get one would I still be able to get that Gallows/Forward Russia sound? I've got pedals I can use but I've alw...

I missed out on both the Vox and the lead unfortunately. There's a valvestate ending tonight though which I think I'm going to take a chance on.

Sorry to bombard people with links and questions but this has also just caught my eye although I'm not sure as the pictures aren't the greatest. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Old-Vox-Combo-Amp-FWW30-99p-Start-No-Reserve_W0QQitemZ200462909554QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_MusicalInstr_Amplifiers_RL?hash=item2eac85407...

What do you think of this?

Yes that's true. I will be heading down there I think unless Ebay throws up a real bargain, I'm still looking at that laney though, I've never ever played one but they certainly look good.

There's alot of spiel on there but I wouldn't be able to buy that without trying it first and though it sounds really stupid I'd prefer to try and snap a bargain up on Ebay without trying it than travel somewhere, waste money and maybe not even like it.

Can't access ebay at work but that sounds promising. Thanks

The problem is the MG100 will be too big really for what I'm looking at getting and the effects just won't get used. The music shops by myself (The Soundhouse) don't really offer all that much though so it may need to be a trip to Bristol this weekend

The Laney VC15 looks really nice on google. Unfortunately I'm stuck at work and ebays filtered so can't find a price but they sure look good.

Ah right. Sorry I thought you meant there is one now on there for that price. I'll look into them then and see what we can fund

There's a 50w Valvetronix on the bay for £150 buy it now but I was wondering if anyone here had one to know what to expect.

it may sound stupid but I can't actually stretch the extra £6. £150 is the maximum I'd have which is a bugger

i dont gig that's why I don't especially want a massive amp. I'm not goin to be able to get valve for that price I dont expect. Stuff I like to play would be things like Forward Russia, At The Drive-In, Sonic Youthy type stuff.. I prefer pedals so don't need on board FX but reverb would be nice. I l...

Right so I've sold my amp and I'm now looking for a smaller 30w or 50w amp just for mucking around with at home. Which in your opinion is the best to consider? Bearing in mind I have a maximum £150 at the most.

I heard about the wall coming down...it seems like an insane situation!

That's even less of a deal for me as I don't have £850 It comes with a white guard as well though so I cant really see anything wrong with this at all.
