Best amp you've ever played through?

[Closed Eye]

Fender Twin 100 Watt.

Excellent cleans, even overdrive. Kinda made me not care about gobs of feedback.

 

[RACER X]

Blue Voodoo.

 

[casblah]

My two highgain tonemonsters.

Once again G.J. you make me sick!

 

[casblah]

Best amp that I've personally ever played thru is my JCM800, which is why I bought it. It's the sound I've had in my head since I started playing guitar, ya know?

 

[Guitarist]

After playing this amp, I think my search for an amp is complete...until the day I change my musical direction - the MESA/Boogie Single Rectifier.

 

[Al.C]

My Mesa MK II c+ with the EV 200 watt speaker. THe cleans are beautiful and articulate the overdrive is smooth and balanced. The sound is punchy but not edgey. Love it.

 

[AmpliFIRE]

I've had my ENGL Powerball for a year now and it still blows me away

 

[pureoldsound]

Rivera Suprema 55 voodoo mod, had the best sound I've ever played. 2nd I have to say a Bad Cat Hot cat 30, that thing has a very warm tone lots of bottom end. 3rd Bogner Shiva w/ EL34......

 

[dystrust]

I can't pick one amp, but I can narrow it down to two...

1. My Marshall Jubilee 2555
2. KT-66 modded Soldano Decatone

 

[Byakhee00]

Just buy that KT-66 modded Soldano Decatone already! Sell your soul or somthin'

 

[dystrust]

I didn't like it that much. If I had, I'd already own it :9:

 

[Lewguitar]

I'm fortunate to own some of my favorite amps I've ever played:

'66 Deluxe Reverb with Celestion G12H30
'59 Deluxe with Vox/Celestion Silver Bulldog
'59 Bassman with four Jensen P10R's...a REAL one.
'51 Super with two 10's: one '56 Jensen P10R and one '66 C10N

Vox AC-30 with two Vox/Celestion Blues...best soloing tone I've ever had, but to loud and heavy. I sold it...but my old Fenders can all do just about the same thing.

I like to play in stereo through two 18 to 22 watt amps: two Deluxes or one Deluxe and one Super or two Deluxe Reverbs.

I still can't believe you got that original 59 Bassman for $2000.
That's a 1980 vintage price for that amp! Now, they're around
$5000 +- By the time you decide to sell it, you'll fetch $12,000

I want it!

 

[Steve_R]

I played an old Fender Deluxe Reverb in a pawn shop a long time ago.. it was true beauty of sound

My new Plexi RI is no slouch either. It's inspiring me to be a better player.. the better I get, the better it will sound, especially after some custom tailored mods

 

[kevlar3000]

While not my favorite sounding amp, my friend has a 64 AC30 TB that was restored by the talents at the Plexi Palace. Beautiful amp. I like my 3 amps better tonally but that AC30 was built with love.

That was, indeed a blessing. Like the morning I woke up, checked my ebay auctions and favorite searches and found a '51 Super for $1000! I grabbed it. Those deals are there if you look every morning and are ready to buy. But it'll be a long, long time before I sell my favorite amps. Probably, it'll be my wife who sells them...she'll doubtless outlive me! Lew

 

[Vasshu the humanoid typhoon]

Hmm a few actually.
A modded Park75....it spat those tones out in a ferocious manner...
Hiwatt DR103...awesome tone.
Marshall SLP 1968..through and old 4x12 greenback cab..basket.
Fender Bassman...about 1960 or something, tweed.
Fender Bandmaster ca 1959...CRUUUUUUNCH!!!
A special made small amphead, called Der kleine böse kellerschwein....gods what a tonemonster with the overdrive from blazing hot hell.
1987 Plexi Marshall head...sweet machine.
Those are the amps I remember the best, so their tones must have been something

 

[HardRockSinger]

triple rectifier!

 

[lastwinj]

one of my amps.

[chcjunior]

I'd say my Soldano....but....I haven't had that many opportunities to try higher end amps. Mostly the amps I've tried have been limited to what's at Guitar Centers in the Philly area.
