Myself and my wife are going to see Mr Knopfler tonight. He is without doubt one of the best, most original players ever. I admire his individual unassuming style and his expressive warm tone.

What are the pro's and cons of getting a combo amp over a non-combo (head and cabinet) amp? I assume you can swap and change cabinets going for the non-combo option? Also, lets say you but a 300w head, does that mean you need a cab capable of handling 300w? Cheers

Hi folks, Can anyone recommend a good amp for blues\light rock? Im looking for something along the lines of Eric Clapton\Mark Knopfler tone. I dont need something that will blow a house down (need to consider the neighbours!) but something with a decent punch under the hood when...

Hi all, I bought this a few moths ago and I notice that the B and high E strings are not staying in tune aswell as they used to. I always wipe the fret board after use and the strings look clean. Time to change? Also how do I know what gauge Im using?

Hi Folks, This may have been done before but I would like to know If any of you have had gigging experience with the above amp (AD50VT to be exact). If so, did you find it suitable \ reliable? If it broke down would you buy another? Cheers Ger

You feel like your not going to get any better as a player? Or you depend on the internet too much to learn from others. Or maybe you see a cool riff and you learn it and you say to yourself "I should have thought that one up myself"! Granted im only back playing a few months (had a guitar about...

Hi folks, Just wondering If anyone has had any experience of using effects pedals with this amp? I have a (cheap) wah pedal that seems to make a nice warm tone sound kinda 'dead' even when its used as a volume pedal. I read somewhere that these amps dont like pedals in front of them...
