My first half stack...

[RandomHero]

...is only half finished! I decided on a whim to re-populate the empty "amp" space allocated in my room with a half-stack instead of a 2x12 combo. For the cash, I decided my best bet was a Crate (I decided on one of their combos anyway,) so now I have a Crate 4x12 slant cab sitting in my room with no head on it!

I get my commission check from Guitar Center on Friday, and that's when I'll pick up the head. A GT1200H... nothing special or fancy, just a solid-state three-channel amp with an effects loop. Just the way I like 'em...

Tonally I'm pretty pleased with it, insofar as I've tinkered with it at the store. I guess I don't have an ear for "good tone" like my tube-lust was telling me. In any case, it's coming soon and I can hardly wait...

With my employee discount, I'm landing the whole rig for a little strong of $300! Not bad considering I paid $375 for my previous 50w combo.

That sound reallly nicee!! Good deal aswell! when you get the Head let us know how good it is.
I use a crate Combo in my school (I cant remember the model) they have some killer tone!
At home I've got a nice Marshall Combo 50Watt bought at the price of £120
But I've got a lust for one of those Peavey JSX Amp heads too much money though £1200

It never happened. I got gypped on my commission check.

So I made lemons into lemonade and cashed in the cab for the 2x12 combo version instead. Still loud enough to get me evicted and probably play live.

Sonic evaluation forthcoming.

How'd they screw you out of the money?

^^ what he said?
I was looking forward to hear about that crate stack

[RandomHero]

I really kind of screwed myself out of the money. I was calculating my estimated commission check on my net wages, not my gross. Uncle Sam is the one that robbed me.

Yargh! big bummer!!!
It'd be nice if they just gave one simple price.
And for every country have the same value!

makes me sooo mad...
