I want an amp that sounds like a Van Halen song called Eruption. Dave, the guitar player has his own amp called the 5051..are those pretty good? I saw some Van Halen videos with alot of amps. There was red and white and yellow striped ones ..both sounded the same to me..which one is supposed to be better?
There is a Van Halen effects pedal in a guitar world that has stripes on it. Can I just buy that to sound like Eruption or do I need speaker box too?
Thank you
Next... buy the most powerful all tube amp on the planet and a pair of oversized 4 x 12 cabinets. I suggest buying the same amp that appears on the posters.
Here is the most important part... instead of practicing... you should spend most of your time on the JCF asking stupid questions and posting stupid comments. Here are a few to get you started:
Will ____ amp make me sound like _____?
Which amp is good for metal?
The posts I like the best are the ones where the newbie 1st year 16 year old bedroom player has an opinion on anything remotely related to playing live. Usually... this newbie is posting comments on a thread started by a seasoned veteran player who has been gigging and touring since 1979.
So.... Billy... to answer your question... "Which amp is good?"
Sorry.. can't answer that one... next question.

well, don't fear....i CAN answer the question!!!!! much like what john said, it requires LOTS of posters, posing, and fantasy-making. first, get yourself in tune with the fantasy aspect by playing a role-playing game, or BETTER yet, GUITAR HERO!!!!!!! once you master the poses and dead accuracy of the GH instrument, you'll stop dropping picks in the hole of your guitar and you WILL be ready for an amp!!!!
i suggest getting the most raging, brootal, mind crushing amp EVER created. it will give you MORE power than a wall of 7 foot stacks. between this BEAST of an amp and your GH experience (along with posters and poses) you WILL become the rock GOD you wish to emulate....SO much so HE will come to YOU for "tone" tips!!!
the amp is......GEAR:
some guitars...WITH STRINGS!!!! most of them have those sticks like on guitar hero....AWESOME!!!!
some amps...they have some glowing bottle like things in them...i think my amps do that modelling thing....COOL, huh?!?!?!
and finally....
i have those little plastic "chips" used to hit the strings...WHOA!!!!

Best posts ever, in any forum on any topic.
I love you, man. In a healthy straight way.

Hornz dude, you sound pretty kewl LOL111 omG101 1. My mom saze I can get a new amp, if I ace the cyens test tomorow. Therez a kller Bayringer amp from Germeny at Gitar Center in gunna get with a DOD, Black Sacrifice pedal, with the sodumized goat mod from this kid in my PE class. He's a fag and doesn't like it.
You in a band? Can you do the 2 handed hammering trick like Dave and paly the harmoniks up high? I got a sweet black Vantage Avenger. Todily vintage, dude! I hot glewed some old shot gun casings to my strap. It looks rad. I never took lessuns, on account of I can beat Guitar Hero 1-3 all on expert mode.
My mom can gimme a ride with my new rig out to your place to rawk after I weed the stupid yard on Saturday. PM me your adress. I scored some Camels from my old man's pack when he was taking a dump. We can smoke up.Last edited by El_Kabong; 03-12-2008, 10:21 AM.

The most important thing is to stand properly. You have to stand with your legs as far apart as you can. That's what makes the brootalz!
