Sigh. As you good people may have gathered, I have G.A.S. But a rather odd strain of the disease. Specifically, I have a desire for a tone that is mostly inspired by, er, a certain 90's band from Manchester who shall remain nameless. Since I don't have the ability or room to get my JCM900 half stack (Or Orange head through Marshall cab), that articular nirvana ain't gonna happen any time soon. Fair enough, if you ask me.
HOWEVER....
I've Tried out a number of amps and pedals - most recently, randomly blowing $120 on a line6 Crunchtone. Fine, none of these items have been all-valve items cranked to their full glory, but they have all been popular choices with the bedroom / studio crowd.
So why is it that I'm most happy with my guitar going through the Mark III Mesa/Boogie setting of my Behringer V-amp, with cab modelling on, through the CD-input of my MG15 ??!?!?!? For some reason, it's the only thing that gets me near the meaty rhythm and lead sounds I want from my 335.
Now, maybe this would all change if I played my Tele more. Maybe my 335 is just an awkward guitar. Or, maybe if I learned to play as well as the guy in the shop, all those pedals would do it for ME, too
But it still seems odd to me.
Can anyone shed any further light on this perplexing topic?
