Opeth uses a Laney + PRS combo which should be good enough for most of us =)

The crate power block is a worthy investment and it's in the review section, courtesy of Subversion.

thanks for the heads-up 8)

i also own CRATE's GT412ST cab which is neutral enough to manifest any amp's inherent voicing.

Sub: I've yet to try the powerblock with a 4x12. Is it powerful?

 

[subversion]

the Power Block through my 4x12 is thunderous! keep in mind that it's a 150W unit despite its dimunitive make. it can match my Marshall JVM quite easily in terms of projection 8)

 

[leecs]

I C!!!!Hopefully i can try it out if theres 1.

Actually been wanting to try out the PB for quite awhile too but can't find anywhere to try it out. Couldn't see it anymore at Davis either.

 

[subversion]

stock @ Davis will be replenished periodically...

i thought i read in TGP that the PB has been discontinued actually.

 

[almondx]

Heck yes it is! I just realised too. Some forums are saying Crate actually mis-marketted the Power Block as a guitar amp which is a pity as sales would have been alot better had it been marketted as a flat response power amp for digital modelling.

 

[subversion]

that's what i bought it for: 'flat' here is actually a neutral response so it is transparent to the pedals you plug into it.

Buying a large combo or (especially) a stack for the purpose of wailing in your living room at all hours can lead to divorce. So can spending $2000 on an amplifier without telling the wife (because you know she's going to say no). As a general rule, guitar equipment is to be treated as if family members had a restraining order against it. It doesn't matter if people pay good money to have you assault their eardrums with your frenzied solos every weekend, nobody at home is going to want to hear it. Whatever type of amp you buy, headphones are a must for home practice. Similarly, if you plan to install an enormous Marshall stack in your garage for rehearsals, make sure it's a detached garage. The Mrs. doesn't want to have Black Sabbath's "War Pigs" rattling windows and knocking pictures off the walls while she is entertaining her Saturday bridge club.

[gsonique]

i thought i read in TGP that the PB has been discontinued actually.

It may or may not happen - PB 2.0, with digital efx built in.

 

[subversion]

it's really unwise to discontinue the PB entirely IMO; it's a reliable, dependable product, a revision (as stated above) is a more productive venture.
