Yeah saw it - looks cool as you like!
Really impressed with what Blackstar have brought out so far.

That looks fucking fantastic. And I can say without any hestitation that at Â£219 I will probably buy one of the heads at least.

The stack for Â£349? that is INCREDIBLY tempting for use with the Tiny terror. A cab each!

Looks cute, although I wish someone would make one of these budget heads rated at 25w with some decent cleans.

Nice.

I love me my wee amps. i recently found out that my Epiphone Valve Junior still works. I came home and one of the guys I live with was playing away at it. It seems the transformer has somehow magically grown back.

Not likely, chief.

+1

Clean Headroom with a drummer = 40W + tube or just a solid state amp instead.

I've found the Deluxe Reverb to be perfectly clean at gigging/rehearsing volume, and that's a puny 22 watts. My 40 watt Bandmaster head seems like overkill.

Online at Thomann. Expected 20th october.

Nice one Thom, it'll be cheaper elsewhere no doubt

I think I'm going to save and do it.

Thom · Post by **Thom** » Mon Oct 06, 2008 2:20 pm

Yeah definitely cheaper elsewhere.
Is so tempting... Must resist

Not bad. Wonder what the speakers sound like.

Can't be any worse than the Celestion noname thing I have in my current cab made from that Marshall Lead12 SS thing, and that sounds pretty decent to me.

Yeah I'm sure.

The head will be tempting to me again no doubt. I've found I play guitar a lot less since selling the TT.

Though Tim has started to write (hilariously obscure) songs so Ghostbrothers could be going ahead as some sort of Zappatastics nightmare. We've said if ASCII doesn't happen this year the band will.

What do you miss about the TT? The overdrive funtimes?
