Just bought a Rockerverb
Moderator: bclaire
I've been GASing for a new amp for a while, since my metal band started gigging, and thinking I need something a little more "metal" sounding than my TT.
I tried a Rocker 30 last week, and it sounded great, but still more of a rock-sounding amp to me.
My local store got a Rockerverb 50 head in for me to try. It arrived today so I went down there at lunchtime and it just blew me away. What a sweet-sounding amp!
So, a bit of haggling and whatnot to get nearer the price I could find online, and I flexed my credit card.
I'm picking it up tonight, first time I'll get to crank it is at rehearsal tomorrow night... how excited am I?!

<br />...Its an amazing amp even when you feel like playing anything other than metal.

That's one of the (many) things that swung it for me: turning the gain down a bit gave me a great sound for the rock band I'm in too

Also, would that mean I have to leave the Tiny Terror club?

You can have both, but then you also have to join the 'Unnecessarily Cluttered Sig Club'
Just kidding of course - congrats on the new amp, hope it works out for you!

<br />Hey blackcloud, how do I go about joining the cartel and getting a logo?
Also, would that mean I have to leave the Tiny Terror club?

It IS the best amp ever! Just right click or ctrl click on the logo and save it to your computer. It's just a JPEG.
Joining the cartel is easy. Getting out, well........[:0]

Well, since I've just sold the TT to the bass player from my metal band, I guess I'll just be in the cartel

<br />Right, so that's my sig sorted until I can get a new picture
Any advice on the best solo boost to use with the new amp? I used a DS-1 with the TT...

RC Boost in the loop....you'll get a true volume boost that way.

Yup. Works great.
I use a SD Pickup Booster or a Zvex SHO - they both work well also.
