Ibanez Tube Screamer TSA 15H

I've come across a review of this amp in Premierguitar.com. This is an all tube 15watt head, with built in tube screamer. Whilst the intention is that this would be an ideal practice / recording amp, even at 15 Watts it would still be capable of  giving a good sound for gigs in smaller venues. But of course there's always the option to mic it through the PA if you need more volume.  This amp can produce the typical American bluesy sound and the 6dB boost enables it to reproduce the British grainy sound with more mids.
At $300 this is a great amp for any new starter looking for that real all tube sound, which can still give a variety of sounds without an inbuilt computer. Of course I think this can also meet the needs of the experienced gigging player, not just for practice but could still do the business in appropriate venues.

6 Common Signs That Amp Tubes / Valves Need Replacing.

It's common knowledge that the tubes in guitar amps are fragile and prone to sudden failure, can be a bit of an inconvenience mid solo or gig. Regular maintenance is the best policy, but there are no guarantees with regards to the lifespan of a tube in a guitar amp, but like your car you can maintain it at regular intervals and it'll most likely serve your needs, or you can ride it until it breaks down on you and leaves you stranded. Fortunately, just like your automobile, your guitar amp will most likely tell that things aren't at all well by making sounds that it shouldn't. So it was good to come across this article, which gives advice on how to identify when the end is nigh and also some good advice on how to prolong the life of your tubes and so maintain the good sound of your guitar amp.

Slash & Marshall R&D Marshall AFD100 Videos

Slash has now played a public performance on the proto-type AFD 100 guitar amp, based on the "legendary" amp that was used to record the 1987 Guns N' Roses album Appetite For Destruction. We've all heard how Slash "stole/borrowed permanently" call it what you will ............ and then a roadie or tech "accidentally" returned it to the supplier or as Slash put it "stole it back".
This Guitar Amp has taken on a somewhat holy grail status, all who played with it became gods (well Slash did become a rock god) and then it disappeared never to be seen again, just like the original holy grail.
The AFD amp project was announced at the NAAM 2010 show in January and we've heard Slash saying it would be available in May time. I've been looking around and it would seem the queues are forming waiting for the first commercial release.Well May has been and gone and it would seem the waiting continues, possibly the queues are growing and the interest is maintained with regular updates on the special Marshall AFD 100 guitar amp website.
I've no doubt that this will be a quality product that will produce that legendary sound. but will the sound be as good as the marketing strategy!!! ............see for yourself, follow the link:-
