Movall triple pedal shootout

I'm thinking of buying either a rocket train, or rock highway. Which is more bang for your buck?

that rock highway pedal has more knobs than any of my amps...

don't you need a reliable tube amp? maybe save the money and put it towards an amp in the new year?

all the people I know with mediocre gear and tone who envy my stuff are guilty of buying lots of small ticket items like effects at retail pricing rather than diligently saving for the big ticket items like a quality tube amp or a Gibson

the entire modern gear industry is designed to separate beginners and weekend warriors from their money 1 magic pedal at a time, don't fall into the trap! make sure you have a solid base sound and then start doling out the effects money.... don't eat a can of frosting and no cake when you can have cake WITH frosting

patience is a virtue... there are no shortcuts in life.... you get what you pay for... caveat emptor

I have got a reliable tube amp, I just need to add it to my equipboard.

what'd you buy?

A laney vc15. I've mentioned it on so many threads...

Is there a model of SG with a floating bridge, or would I have to mod one.

I didn't know you actually bought it.... I thought you were just thinking about it last time you mentioned it

doesn't that have a switchable gainstage for extra drive?

Not that I'm aware of. It has a footswitchable channels.

shared EQ though? It might be like the 90s laneys that claimed 2 channels but shared V1 and the tonestack but just added another gain stage for the 'lead channel' like a soldano or jcm800 split channel (likely as there should be 3 triodes for clean mode and a dual triode as a long tailed pair phase inverter leaving 1/2 of V1 unused to act as a gain boost) its hardly important though... do you have the footswitch?

I have the footswitch, yes. In all fairness I have no income, and so this is literally the best thing for the price range. The only gigging I do is in Church really, and where my band practice there's decent amps, so I have no use of a top of the range for practice.

It sounds like you have no NEED for anything top or bottom of range.... if you have the footswitch and it activates an extra gain stage or higher gain channel or whatever, then what the heck do you need to buy anything else for unless its so good you can't pass it up (which is my problem)? Because if you are just rooting around the internet looking for ways to spend money you can't really afford because its burning a hole in your (mom's) pocket? leave well enough alone

or if you must spend, get something simple but high quality, you already have 1 extra tone on this amp, go with a single function pedal that's best in class if you must....

I do not understand buying just to buy.
