Re: What amp is this?

i've been listening to clips for two days now...this is tough...i can't even decide what it is that i'm really wanting...i'm loving the bluesy grit of 6l6 amps, the smoothness of EL34 amps, and what to my ears seems sort of like a combo of the two in EL84 with them leaning a little more to the gritty sound than the smoother tones...?!

sounds like a problem doesn't it...lol???

when and if i figure that out then i'll decide on which specific amps i like best...

It went for $2026. It's a heavy amp, but a Chieftain 2-12's got some major balls!

I just retubed mine yesterday with 2 JJ E-34L's, 2 GT12AX7M Mullard copies, and JJ ECC83's for the PI and reverb. Sounds killer!

Re: What amp is this?

That's one of the reasons I traded my DST 2x12...all my combos, for that matter...suckers weighed a TON!

Buncha' old bastids we are!!!!

Re: What amp is this?

I had a 90lb 2x12 bad cat. never again. if it was a 1x12, i'd try to snipe it.

Yep! Forget that 90 lb stuff. I don't even like moving my Super Reverb either...just to darn big and heavy. I've started gigging again but all my amps that I gig with are 1 x 12's. Lew

Re: What amp is this?

This is what I was gonna suggest..Clean channel on the F50 will do everything BUT the lush reverb....it's not a BAD reverb...but it's not the best.

Otherwise..channel one will go from tweed to near plexi-ish. It's still my fave clean channel EVAR.

F-30 I don't like nearly as much..at least in the combo version...and I just dont care much for 84s...

It's also a LOUD friggin amp (30 or 50!)

Re: What amp is this?

11 bidders & 1325 watchers with 5 hours left........$2000.00 easy...or close to it!

I wouldn't go $2000...that's a bit high. I paid a little over $1800 for mine but it was very clean. But mine is a single 12 version...that one's a two x 12. So $2000? Maybe... It'd be nice to see someone here get it for under $1400 though! Lew

Re: What amp is this?

I've been watching it. A bit beat up, but Sampson-era ones fetch more.

Re: What amp is this?

Man...$1350 for a Matchless Chieftan and only 5 hours left! Shoot...maybe I'll buy it for myself!

Somebody here really should consider grabbing this one:

The Fender tilt back legs the guy added are kind of a drag but still...for that price???

After I got my Matchless Chieftan I started selling my other amps...they're THAT good.

Re: What amp is this?

one of my good friends has the Fender Pro Tube Concert Reverb...it's the best clean and verb that my ears has ever heard!

what do you think about the 6l6 Shiva? i like both clips of the EL34 and the
6l6...but with the 6l6 there isn't a sample with a humbucker guitar...?!

[Gearjoneser]

Re: What amp is this?

The Bogner Shiva EL-34 Reverb is one of my favorite amps out there. It's the Fender/Marshall combo everyone seeks in one amp. Still, if you want to pay a lot less, you might be happy with the blue Traynor EL-34 combo.

Based on your musical style, I think you'd also like the new Vox AC-30CC and a good OD pedal. I think you'd also really like the Fender Pro Tube Concert Reverb.

Re: What amp is this?

i gotta admit...that of all the clips i've been listening to tonight...the Bogner Shiva (6l6) is sounding ALOT like the tone i'm looking for...i'm not finished listening to clips yet and i know that there are tons of variables involved in the recordings but it's a start!?

Re: What amp is this?

Matchless is waaay out of my league!

Maybe not...there's a Matchless Chieftan on Ebay right now for about $1300.

It's a 2 x 12. It'll probably go "cheap" because the owner installed a pair of Fender tuilt back legs on it! I paid $1875 for mine...I'll bet it goes for way, way less than that. Good luck! Lew
