    Bit of advice: don't get guitar amps that require manuals to understand them.

    Too late, arrived today.

    It's all straight forward, I just need a list of the effects pre sets, as I prolly won't be able to remember 99 of 'em. The rest of the controls are the same as any other amp.

    Does it go up to 11?
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

    Not tried it myself yet, but this reviewer suggests it kinda does

    This thing has a ton of features. It had more features than any amp in the store, actually. Chorus, Reverb, Flanger, Echo, those type of things. But the awesome ones are the wah (effect 72), the "wawawawawawawawa" type of vibrating wah (effect 74), and my personal favorite is effect number 96. Want more distortion than anything you can imagine? Turn the low to 10, mid to 1, high to 10. Put it on California, Hot, and US for the 3 channel effects. Put the master volume down to 3, turn the level on your channel to 7 if you want gain, 8 if you're gutsy, 9 if you've got balls, and 10 if you're insane. Turn the effect level to 99. Turn the effect on. You'll probably jump at first cause it's insanely loud, but at a level of 9 or 10 you can't even hear your notes because it's just fuzz. Think about the level of distortion on The Velvet Underground's "I Heard Her Call My Name".

    if the amp allows you to replicate the solo from i heard her call my name, it definitely goes to 11

    but for the one on the stooges' death trip, you need at least 12

    I'm just posting so that 'number of replies' goes to 11 in the forum menu.

    Get some earphones and keep the OH/neighbours/Pets happy. Thats my advice.

    Now the number of replies is 12, what is the significance?

    Well, I don't really think that the end can be assessed as of itself as being the end because what does the end feel like? It's like saying when you try to extrapolate the end of the universe, you say, if the universe is indeed infinite, then how - what does that mean? How far is all the way, and then if it stops, what's stopping it, and what's behind what's stopping it? So, what's the end, you know, is my question to you.

    The end is at the end of a piece of string.

    14 must have greater significance than 12 but as we haven't ascertained where the end is nor indeed if there is an end, 14 is eroneous. My question back is:

    How long is a thread?

    I have a lovely old Marshall half-stack sat in my front room just looking pretty. Think I'll fire it up this evening and annoy the neighbours.
