Amp regrets?
Collapse

Had a JTM 45 that turned out to be a 1965 (birth year) in 9 out of 10 condition and sold it for £100 when you could barely give them away. More recently I sold a white limited edition reissue of a small box 50 watter along with a purple Hendrix re-issue 4 x 12. Then in a moment of madness I let a mate have my surf green lizard Fender Pro Sonic 2 x 10 combo. The last regret was a Cornford Hellcat head…. So regrets I’ve had a few as they say……

My only other regret is the Krank Rev Jr. I regret ever buying it, which is why it got sold after a couple years.
It sounded OK and never failed me, but having full-size glass I was expecting more thump/grab in the lows. It just sounded very small, albeit good.
The first thing I noticed when receiving it was that the power tubes were literally almost touching each other, like close enough it could have held a credit card tightly pinched between.
I could never get a handle on the highs either. They were always too harsh and annoying, or turned down they were too dark and murky.

The only amp I regret selling was a Carvin X100B. Great amp and at the time it just didn't do it for me. I liked everything about it though, which seems odd why I got rid of it, but I was more into the Soldano thing at that time. I have since grown and know now that the X100B would be more up my alley.

Selling my 80's Ampeg combo... Don't even remember the model. Sometimes I wish I'd kept my fuzzy Fender H.O.T.

It might have been what it turned into after they stopped calling it the Road King. It had two Mesa-branded UK-made V30s and two back panels - one full and the other half open.

1st Gen Peavey 5150 Head.
Marshall JCM 900 MkIII 100 watt head
Both are way too loud for anything I do now but man, both great amps.
Marshall Lead 12 Combo. Fun little amp.

I had a DSL50 A Fender super Sonic 22
an or15
A Princeton 68 custom
I really miss all of them now! They were each great at something. The or15 is easiest to replace.
Probably not as heavy as op's regrets but
I think about it when I play my bugera. I'm keenly aware that it is just ok.

Should have never sold my Randall RG120 orange stripe head. I sold it to get my first JC 120 combo. When I listen to old recordings of that amp I wonder what I was thinking when I sold it.
