1968 Showman. Had it since I was 12, making me the longest owner of it's life. I've had Bandmasters which were okay, and a Champ which I loved. Great pedal amps. I now have a similar era 2x12 Bandmaster cabinet which I also love. It's not a match to the 68 Showman, but it's close enough.

'71 SF Vibrolux Reverb here. Got handed down to me from my grandfather so I've got some sentimental attachment to it. Fantastic sounding amp, but pretty limited. It has some amazing cleans and when turned up it starts to get some nice hair on the notes, but that's about the extent of it. I like the richness of the amp though and it's got a character I haven't heard from anything else, so it's very inspiring.

Not the best picture but right now the only one I have. Over to the right in the photo is a 68 Super Reverb & a 68 Deluxe Reverb. I love them both. The Super I bought used sometime in the late 80's, may 88 or 9. Its had a lot of work done to it before & after I got it. The Deluxe Reverb I've had for about 7 maybe 10 years. I almost gave up on it & sold it, but recently my amp tech did a wonderful job fixing her up for me. The DR is my main gigging amp today..

73' Pro Reverb I bought used around 1990 for $250. The thing's a tank. Without a mid control HBs tend to be a bit muddy but with anything single coil...look out. Best all around blues amp I've ever owned put a TS9 in front with maybe a delay and you can I, IV, V all night long.

'73 Champ here! I had it recently serviced to replace almost all the caps and resistors. It had been pretty molested inside by some previous owner. Ditched the crappy Oxford speaker and put in a Weber 8A125. AMAZING amp!
