ehwalled genius, absolutely genius Join Date: Jan 2008 Location: canada	Clones / Non Brand Name AMPS Anyone know of a really good clone amp or something that is not "brand name" but that is better then the really deal for half the cost? I recently bought an Edwards Les Paul and it is simply stunning, if not equal or slightly better then my buddies real les paul. and it was half the cost. this got me wondering if there is such a find similar to this only for amps. Just some names of companies and where to get them ( the Edwards came from Japan online for example). hope this makes sense... ehwalled __________________ 音乐是生活 Music is Life Ibanez RG2550Z, Edwards Jimmy Page LP Relic Custom, 06 Fender Clapton SS, Line6 Spider III 112, Peavey Classic 30, Boss HD-1, Morley Vai II Wah, Blues Breaker Last edited by ehwalled : 10-05-2008 at 10:57 PM.

No idea... but high five for the Edwards!

Well, traynors sound like marshalls and are much less than new marshalls. There are many good, cheap amps, they aren't necessarily knock offs though.

ehwalled genius, absolutely genius Join Date: Jan 2008 Location: canada	I guess "knock off" is a bad term but didnt know how to explain it. the Edwards I got is JP custom (Jimmy Page les paul). I post some pics when I get a second. Anyways it is simple great. Thanks for the names so far (treynor). Maybe my new guitar and this would be a match made in Zeppelin heaven.... __________________ 音乐是生活 Music is Life Ibanez RG2550Z, Edwards Jimmy Page LP Relic Custom, 06 Fender Clapton SS, Line6 Spider III 112, Peavey Classic 30, Boss HD-1, Morley Vai II Wah, Blues Breaker

I thought they were Bassman clones (they use 5881's...)

Bostonrocks UG's Rockman uhh man Join Date: Nov 2007 Location: Lakeville MN	Sovteks MIG amps are great. Splawns are knockoffs of marshalls in many ways laney AOR and Protube series are much like Gained up plexis ans JCM800s. __________________ Guitar Tones of the Week: Def Leppard Eric Clapton (Beano Album) Warren Haynes Jimi Hendrix Recognised by the Official EG/GG&A Who To Listen To List 2009

All I know is that the Mig 60 is pretty much dead on a JCM800.

Raijouta actually called Dylan Join Date: Mar 2008 Location: Jamaica	Ceriatone makes clones of vintage Marshalls. So does Metropoulos. Splawns are hot-rodded Marshalls, essentially - B-52s have been called "the poor man's Mesa", Bugera are Peavey knockoffs... I'm sure there are many more. __________________ Valveking Wiki Valveking Thread ╠═══════╬═══════╣ THE DREAMER σƒ τλε τρπ βπστλεπλσσδ ╠═══════╬═══════╣

I'd love to have a nice Mig. Or a Redbear. Or a Sunn Model T.
