  • What amp is this?

    Deep but crisp cleans
    Lush transparent reverb
    Smooth overdrive
    Tight & Chunky (for rhythm)
    Kinda old school meets new school...?

    in either a 1x12 or 50 watt (max) head

    priced no more than say $1200 bucks but less would be cool obviously...lol!

    any suggestions?!

    thanks in advance,
    mike

    Zinky Blue Velvet. 25 watt all tube 1x12 combo that will make you drool. I think the street price is somewhere around $1000.

      Well, my Mesa Mark IV can do dem things all pretty well in my opinion. I own the combo while rated at 85 watts, it has a "Tweed" mode that lowers the output to around 55 watts or so.
      I was able to score mine on Fleabay for around $1000
      Good luck,

        There is no such thing as this amp.

                  Re: What amp is this?

                  i'll check out the Blue Velvet for sure...i actually saw one looking around online at amps the other day and it intrigued me for sure...

                  a Franklin 15 with verb would be divine for sure, no doubt...

                  80 watts and even down to 55 is overkill for me...50 down to 25 watts would be ok...i'd prefer something around 30...i want to be able to push those tubes but i don't want the neighborhood to hear my butcherjobs...lol! i'll be getting one in no less than 2 months! (tax returns), but maybe before then?!

                  any other suggestions?!

                      The only amp I can think of that nails your description Mike is a Custom Audio Electronics OD-100/50 (it's the 50w version of the OD-100). Blackface Fender cleans, a singing lead channel and a chunky and tight classic sound (unless you get into the SE mod, which gives it more gain). Unfortunately, it's nowhere near your price range

                          Soundwise, your description like a Bogner Shiva to me. Not sure if it's more expensive than that, though.
                          teles? voxes? what is happening to me?!

                            i don't think Bogner is feasible for me price wise at all...i'm sure it would sound great though?!

                            anyone have any thoughts on Mesa F series?!
