great stuff. great advice.

one more thing I neglected to ask is whether any of you R30 owners prefer open or closed back? my cabs are convertible and that just adds another factor in the equation.

good stuff. these are the experiences I am looking for. just to clarify: I'm not trying to get my a to sound like a fender - it's just that when I toggle back and forth between them the contrast is pretty striking. (of course, they're different amps) right now I'm running it thru a 2x12 with wgs et-...

Greetings - I love the R30 with the various cabinets I have but when I compare it to let's say, my fuchs or pro reverb it sounds pretty dark (of course...different amps!). I'm wondering if that amp was not voiced/designed for a vintage 30 bite to bring out its real snarl and more midrange detail. I'...

yikes that black one is very, very nice.

not intending to get off the celestion topic here - I've had my rocker 30 for about 2 years now and after picking up a killer les paul standard it really shifted how I dial in the rocker and which speakers I have a preference for. after swapping out v30, WGS et65's and vintage altec alnico's I just ...

Stumbled upon an old orange distortion pedal, it looks the same as the one in the picture in this link.. Does anyone know anything about these?

damn them 'birds sound phenomenal thru them oranges. reminds me of the old days of electric hot tuna. some of the best tone I ever heard live.

The AD30 clean(ish) channel is what makes it so useful imho, and while i totally agree about the R30 clean channel, it can be fixed easily with an EQ/boost. .. if you have a TC spark on "fat" mode it comes more alive and allegedly the EP booster does a good number on it to. thanks for posting this....

I'm in the other camp. when I tell my wife I'm considering buying some new gear, she says 'great! you deserve it. you work your ass off!' which causes me to ask: 'what would better improve my sound? a new guitar or more practice?' that answer has never changed. I jammed with an old time rocker last ...

thanks for posting this. I've always preferred OB but this is inspiring me to try CB again.

that AD30 clean is glorious! makes me want to dump my rocker 30 - anemic clean channel that I NEVER use.
ah but the gain channel....

ha!

yeah but....how does it sound? I LOVED my TH30 and there are things about it that I miss: - loved the simplicity of the shape knob - and the clean channel - and the versatility - and the effects loop - and the power scaling - the size? didn't occur to me. my rocker 30 has none of the features/attrib...

sorry you got rooked.

seemed too good to be true....

a lesson for us all.
