  • Best amp you've ever played through?

    Not necessarily the best amp or amp tone you've ever HEARD, but what's the best amp you, personally, have ever tried?

    That would be a Conquest. All tube and handmade in Belgium. I can't say that I'm a big fan of these amps but they stay remarkably articulate under high gain. Nice cleans. Too bad they can't get really loud. They look like just another Marshall clone but they sound actually pretty good.

          The H&K Triamp Mk II, although my Mk I sounds pretty close (it'll sound a lot better after I put in new tubes this weekend )

              I can't pick just one............
              I have played thru a jtk 45 (I think thats what it was) it was amazing!!
              I played thru a blackface deluxe that was to die for!

              I played thru a Matless that was incredible.

              All of the above were amazing for "CERTAIN" things..

              I firmly believe the "holy grail" does not exisist in ONE amp

                I'd say a tie between the Hand wired Vox AC30 and the Matchless Chieftain I hit the other day.

                Different tones, but righteous tones nonetheless.

                            My Dumble

                            Best I've owned is probably my little Orange AD15/12 best I've played through was probably a late 50's Tweed Bassman that was at my friend's guitar shop about 10 years ago. Sooner or later I will own an old Tweed.
