budget lunchbox amp heads? (preferably tube or hybrid)

looking for some high gain lunchbox heads

id prefer tubes, but a hybrid or a REALLY good solid state could pass, id also like multi channel and the ability to put it through a footswitch, as my current amp is single channel and i’m not a really big fan of that

by lunchbox, I mean the cheaper side, under 400 bucks preferably, in the US so my availability is alright

mainly would be for pop punk, metal (nu, industrial, thrash, death) and the occasional grunge and alt rock

any suggestions help!

edit: forgot to mention I currently have an OR15

Les Paul tribute, tribute plus, or special II

looking to get my first LP shape after being a hard stuck Strat and telecaster owner, wanted to get in with something inexpensive, not the biggest fan of P90s so I didn’t wanna get a jr, but the tribute plus looks very good for the price tag

normal tribute looks pretty cool and good, special II just seems like a very budget beginner guitar

what do you guys think? personally looking at the tribute/tribute plus, but I wanted some input

anybody else been getting insane amounts of lag since the new updates?

thought maybe my old game was laggier than I remember and it’s about the same, nope, new version is insanely laggy on some charts, a chart I could literally FC in the old version (and did twice) is so laggy now I cannot FC it

It really depends, some songs, no lag at all, others, insane amounts of lag that make them near unplayable territory

should I just go back to the old version of the game? the newer one loads faster and such but I’ll take longer load times over lagging insanely bad

i’m on a lower end laptop which may contribute, but it’s just weird the game suddenly got laggy when I updated it, I would think the opposite would be true

Valvestate 8100, yay or nay?

so I scroll used listings on amps all the time, eBay, guitar center, FB marketplace, reverb, you name it, and I see valvestates on sale all the time, pretty okay prices too

my question is, are they really all that bad? I know most people dislike them because it’s not pure blood Marshall tube amp, but I’ve heard the drive channel is pretty fizzy too, I feel like it’d be a decent second amp purchase

I know the early guitarist of death (name isn’t coming to me right now but god rest his soul) used one, and death has one of the greatest metal tones of the 90s in my opinion

seems like a fine purchase but people talk trash about them all the time so I wanted to run it by the amp sub

looking to get my first soulslike, any recommendations?

hello, I’ve been watching a streamer play elden ring and got into soulslikes, I just don’t know what I should start with

I would prefer something semi-open or completely linear, which is why i don’t think I would enjoy something like elden ring

I was thinking about dark souls 1, but that just seems like I’m gonna go straight for the belly of the beast, get pissed off, and completely leave the genre

i I was looking at Jedi fallen order or dark souls 3, what do you guys think?

just wanna get into this game genre after watching gameplay and such for awhile

what is this mask phil is wearing during monsters of rock 1991?

looks like a devil mask or something, I’ve heard it’s a yellow devil mask but the black and white effect on the footage makes it hard to tell kind of

any other shows he wore it? Kind of stumped me

any guitarists of the sub know Brad’s clean and distorted amp settings on his triple rec?

I’ve been learning Santeria but plan on learning some more shit, so I thought I might as well get the amp settings good and ready

I know he used a JC-120 back in the early days, but I think triple rec when I think brad

anybody got some similar amp settings for the triple rec? id be dialing them in on my line 6 pod go

owners of ampeg VL-502s and 1002s, what do you think of them?

I keep finding VL-502s for sale on pretty good prices, and i know tom used one in combination with a 1002 back around 95-early 97, so they interested me as a purchase

the only thing holding me back is how specific of a tone they are, it’s literally just Cheshire Cat to they came to conquer uranus since dude ranch was a 900

i really like this era, but i still do play a bunch of enema stuff, so I wanna ask you guys, is this a good purchase as an early tom fan? I’d specifically be playing alot of dude ranch and Cheshire stuff on it

i could always just use a 502 as my early tom tone, then get on my OR15 with pod go for 99-01 tom stuff

what do you guys think?

i feel like nasa in 1969 rn

I made it to the moon for the first time, after 6 tries of resetting by 30 seconds I finally hit the landing, I was so proud man

the guys unfortunately didn’t make it back (ran out of fuel and are now floating around in space) but hey, let it be a learning experience to pack more fuel next time

I just used the three stage rocket but changed out the landing pod to the redstone one as I prefer it

happy I got a rocket on the moon though, just wanted to share!

how do I orbit/land on the moon?

just got my first satellite in orbit around earth, got confident and tried to get to the moon, did the transfer (wasted too much fuel as I missed the point multiple times which may be why this happened) got into the moon’s sphere of influence, trying to orbit the moon the same way I did the earth, but then couldn’t turned away from the moon’s sphere of influence escape.

ran out of fuel, had to detonate the rocket with my boys inside (rip) and restart.

any tips on how to start the orbit after getting into the sphere of influence? im using some pretty decent rockets but i may get redstone atlas later and make another attempt

the title is so fucking hilarious too, when has the offspring ever claimed to be indie, even in their old days?
