Scelta amplificatore

[Kintaro.Oe]

Ciao a tutti
finalmente e' arrivata l'ora di cambiare l'amp... e come sempre sorgono quei dubbi e interrogativi identici alla prima volta che se ne compra uno
Incomincio a descrivere la situazione...
Il mio genere preferito in assoluto è il thrash metal (Metallica, Pantera ecc...)... essenzialmente l'ampli che dovrei comprare dovrebbe essere indirizzato più verso questo modo di suonare.
Tuttavia dovrebbe in qualche modo poter andar bene anche per suonare qualcosa di Punk e Rock leggero.. (i cosìdetti sacrifici di un gruppo...)
Per motivi di spazio, di trasporto e di soldi la scelta è indirizzata verso un amplificatore di tipo combo... ok ok ... vi prego di non insultarmi (mi rivolgo ai maniaci della testata-cassa )
La scelta attualmente è indirizzata sui seguenti amplificatori:

- VOX AD120VT

The AD120VT 120watt stereo combo brings together classic VOX tone with the versatility of a preamp section utilizing Korg's REMS (Resonant structure and Electronic circuit Modeling System). It offers all of the amazing sounds and features for which Valvetronix has been critically acclaimed, and includes the Valve Reactor power amp section that recreates classic tube power amp response. Valve Reactor does this by changing parameters, including class of operation (class A or A/B) and negative feedback settings, for each modeled amp. This patented design utilizes 2 tube power amps with output transformers electronically coupled to solid-state power circuits in such a way that the relationship between the output tubes, output transformer, and speakers is unaltered.

- Crate VFX5212 (Valvolare)

The VFX5212 is a dual channel Class A/B amp that delivers 50 watts RMS from a pair of EL34 tubes, to power two internal 12" Celestion speakers. It feature 15 digital effects designed to replicate the best reverbs, delays, and vibrato effects available from any manufacturer from any era. They're individually assignable to each channel so when you switch channels, you instantaneously switch up to four effects (two per channel) with the included two button footswitch.


- Crate GTX212

The GTX "Tech Effects" Series offer variable "tweak-ability" in the DSP section. The enhanced DSP section on the GTX212 includes the ability to select a multi-effect, add a variety of delay types and styles, modify those delay times through the use of a tap button and then add digital reverb separately. There is a visual indication of channel mode and tap speed for each effect. In addition, all customized effects can be "channel tracked" to each of the three channels and remain stored even when the amps are powered off. The GTX212 is a true three channel amp. The Solo Channel features Gain, Shape and Level; the Overdrive Channel features Gain, 3 band EQ and Level and the Clean Channel features Volume and three band EQ. Incredibly versatile, loud, and with a myriad of variable effects options, plus three channel function with channel tracking; the GTX212 is an extremely powerful tool for the most discriminating player.

Mi hanno consigliato anche dei Laney, per curiosità sono andato a vedere sul sito e ho visto tre modelli che potrebbero interessarmi:
Laney TFX3, Laney TF300-II, Laney LC-50 (quest'ultimo è valvolare). Il problema è che non ho la possibilità di provarli e non ho la minima idea di come suonino... (mi piacerebbe che qualcuno mi dicesse qualcosa a riguardo).

Dimenticavo che suono solitamente con una Jackson DXMG Dinky con appunto pickup MG.
Se qualcuno ha da proporre altri amplificatori oltre a quelli citati ne sarei davvero felice...
Accetto consigli, critiche, suggerimenti ma non offese (tanto lo so che siete tutti degli angeli ))
Grazie... ciao!
