Here's my keyboard (Nord Electro 3) which costs more than EVERYTHING in your picture about to be played in front of 40,000 people and national TV (ABC) in Dallas on New Year's Eve a 1½ months ago.  We headlined.  I think I know a little bit about amplifiers.

That's a Valley Arts Electric you can slightly see in the picture as well...  again, costs more than EVERYTHING in your picture.

And yet no one knows or cares who either of you are.

I don't want to speak out of turn but I guess I will anyway - the general rule of thumb is that if you've got time to post on Queenzone, then you're not all that great. As a rule it works for me and it's definitely working its arse off for the two of you. Works for Treasure Moment - works for Brian May too, if you extend the rule to 'musicians who waste time talking about retarded fucking badgers'.

Head down, tail up - just do the music thing already and stop your pissing match because it's not impressing anyone.
Well I'm impressed with microwave's jazz hands...

Yes, it would be nice to get back to the topic... the newer Vox amps.  Not too sure what Inu-liger thinks about them... not too sure why we'd care.

As you might have surmised, I'm not too impressed. But c'mon, Zebonka, you gotta admit that Squier guitar picture was funny. I bought my daughter one of those about three years ago.
Back in the late 1980s or early 1990s (they all blur into one long decade unfortunately) I used to have a Hank Marvin Squier and it was really nice. Sounded just like a strat should. Nice action too. Not a patch on my vintage Les Paul, but still pretty good. Like an idiot I sold them both -- the Les Paul for £300, which even back in 1998 was still a bargain :(

Bully much?

Honestly, I have not tried out the new AC30's yet obviously since I JUST became aware of those through this topic, and I'll have to peruse my local guitar shops to see if they carry them.
I have tried out the regular AC30 models with the Green Celestion speakers, those were pretty good and I quite liked them.

And why does it matter to you whether I have a Squier or not?
Not everyone can afford thousands of dollars worth of equipment, nevermind I live in an apartment building, and an AC30 would definitely get me kicked out, so yes the Peavey does serve it's purpose well for the time being, you douche.
Microwave, got any youtube links to licks you played through your AC30?
Sorry, I don't sit around filming youtube clips of myself.

Last time I brought out the 30 to a gig was probably the 2005 Richardson Wildflower Festival. My main instrument is keys, though there's probably a few more youtube videos of that, if someone has filmed it.

Just a tip...  you might wanna refrain from tying to scoreboard somebody with your Squier or Peavy Raptor... 

You simply said that I don't know what I'm talking about... but I do.  Personally, I think the Vox AC30 is the best Rock & Roll amp ever made.  I wouldn't have a clue about how to get that exact "Brian May Sound" or anything like that... I just play.  I could be a lot better, though.  By far, this guitar has been the toughest instrument for me to learn.

It's a shame that Vox isn't the company they used to be and decided to outsource for parts.  But then, Gibson and Fender have been doing it for the last few years, too.  Some of the best Fender Strats are made in Vietnam now... I'd take one of those over what I've seen in the States lately.

Nice one, what band?
That was with a band called Petty Theft... a (gasp) Tom Petty cover band... where an AC30 is crucial. Had to borrow a Ric for some of those tunes... I wish I had one.

Wrong Petty Theft. There's about 6 of em that I know of.

You're not trying to stalk me, are you?  :)
