Re: Describe Your Dream Custom Made Amp
Oh, this is easy! I already love my RM4 and its replication of tube amps. Maybe just add a couple more modules. The power amp is what I would love to change.
Three channels:
1st Low power output: EL84
2nd Medium power output: EL34, 6L6
3rd High power output: KT88, KT90, 6550
The exact same type of self biasing system used in my Randall RT2/50. In my opinion every new amp that comes out should start having this!
Low power switch
Midi capability and channel switching as my RT2
The punch, and clearity of either a VHT, Bogner, on or Diezel

Re: Describe Your Dream Custom Made Amp
I'd like to see a way of making tube amps smaller and lighter, so you could pack the same features as a Bogner or Diezel into a head that's as small and light as a Sovtek or Univalve size amp. It would be interesting if someone took the idea of the Vox modeling amps....the pre tube mated to the SS power section, and expanded on it.
If a modeling amp like the Vetta had something like a VHT Valvulator or tube mic pre inside the amp, it might help with the feel and touch responsiveness issue. I'm pretty sure that's where modeling technology is headed. Just like a computer has "Intel Inside", maybe the amps of the future will be digital, but have a tube preamp modular board inside, which could be swapped out for a different one, and also upgradeable software, which they already have. Tubes will always offer something that can't be replicated by SS or digital, but I can see the marriage between the two being the place where the smarter amp designers gravitate toward.

Re: Describe Your Dream Custom Made Amp
My dream custom amp...
I'm pretty lazy when it comes to amps...
I think I'd like to have Mr Bogner or Mr Rivera or someone like that just there all the time to set up my amp to sound awesome. Wouldn't care how they did it, just that it happened.
Wow, I sound like Upper Management...

Re: Describe Your Dream Custom Made Amp
This is so difficult. Attempting to find everything in one box...... its pretty hard. Her is what I would like
1. A clean sound at low volumes..... LIke a Fender Deluxe Reverb.
2. A OD sound like a BF Vibroverb cranked up ala SRV
3. A clean sound like a Plexi.
4. A Crunch sound like a PLexi cranked up, but without the "mush" commonly there when Pexis are pushed.
5. A tube spring reverb is a must
6. Master voulme in all
7. NO EFFECTS LOOP!!!!!!!
IF I could find this in one box I would only need a chorus, and Delay pedal. Evrything else would be the Amp! :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance:

Re: Describe Your Dream Custom Made Amp
I would love something that worked like a Boss GT-8, with dynamic amp switching... so I could have the guitar volume on 10, and I'd get a Dual Rectifier, then dial it back to 5 or so, and get a Sunn Model T.

Channel 1: Fender Twin Reverb-style cleans...sparkly and crystal clear.
Channel 2: Vox-style cleans with some punch
Channel 3: Marshall Plexi-style, Allman Brothers crunch-tones
Channel 4: Soldano/Marshall type lead tones
All in a light head box. 50 watts, switchable to 25 or 5.
2x12 speaker cabinet.

Re: Describe Your Dream Custom Made Amp
For my purposes, the perfect amp would be this:
Channel 1: Classic Fender clean tone, Twin Reverb style with 6L6s.
Channel 2: Fender Deluxe Reverb tone, 6V6 tube distortion a la Layla.
Channel 3: Marshall 18 Watt tone, EL84/EL34 tubes depending.
Some nice tube spring reverb, an added transparent volume boost for soloing. A true bypass FX loop couldn't hurt either. And then a footswitch that switches everything off and on whenever needed. And then two seperate cabinets for it, one with Pre-Rola Greenbacks and the other with whatever speakers Fender was using in the 60s.
Channel 1 has about 50 watts of power to keep it very clean sounding. Channels 2 and 3 are around 15-25 watts so it can get power tube distortion at lower volumes.
The perfect practice and small gig and large gig w/ mic amp :smokin:

Re: Describe Your Dream Custom Made Amp
I'd love an amp with 3 channels.... one a nice Fender clean, the ryrthym channel i'd like to be like Pete Townshends Custom Hiwatts, and the solo channel to along the lines of my 5150's... i can get close to this set up with a few heads and a switching unit but i'd like it all in one package. maybe a smaller 1x12 combo.... maybe a 2x12 at the most

:laugh2:
I'm impressed I'm not too far off from my original post in the thread.
Channel 1: Fender Blackface Twin
Channel 2: JMI-era Vox AC-30 Top Boost
Channel 3: Bogner XTC blue channel
Channel 4: Bogner Shiva OD
Channel 5: Bogner XTC red channel
I'm thinking for wattage, 60w would be perfect and it would have power scaling technology on each section so that I could get those power tubes cooking at lower wattage.

Re: Describe Your Dream Custom Made Amp
19" formfactor, probably about 8-10 HE if not more.
8 Preamp Sections:
1. Fender Blackface Twin
2. Vox AC-30
3. Unmodded JCM 800 2203/2204
4. Mesa V-Twin (both channels)
5. Peavey 5150 Lead channel
6. Mesa Recto series MK. I Lead channel
7. VHT PB Ultra-lead Lead channel
8. Bogner XTC Red
Each with it´s own independent Reverb control and effects loop
4 Power sections:
4x 6l6
4x EL34
4x EL84
4x KT88
Each with it´s own half power setting. Which section and power setting are assignable to each channel
2 switchable master effects loops, MIDI ready would be nice but not essential (though all that switching w/ standard Footswitches could be a heavier chore than a MIDI implementation), all tube, channel assignable tube and SS rectifiers.
Essentially the one amp to rule them all and make sure I never need to buy another one. I don´t think there´s a classic or as of yet unknown tone that thing couldn´t do... oh, and to make sure I don´t have to BUY all the amps mentioned, ROFL :headbang:
Hey Scott/ Germ / Jeff: What do you think this would set me back? I can´t afford it now, but curiosity fuels GAS
BTW: Good thing my rack has wheels, this thing will probably weigh in at just under a ton ... but it makes the Roadking look more like RoadKILL :laugh2:

Re: Describe Your Dream Custom Made Amp
for me I would want a dead on modeling amp. a mix of the fender cyber twin and the line 6 vetta with actual tubes and fully editable efx.
footboard. It would look like a H&K triamp with lcd display with fender cyber twin knobs and digital displays above the knobs.

Re: Describe Your Dream Custom Made Amp
Hmmm...nothing too extravagant.
3 channels
1st channel= JTM 45
2nd Channel= Mid 70s MetalFace 1987
3rd Channel= late 70s JMP 2203 w/ about 1/4 more useable gain
Kt66s for the 45...you know what for the rest. 50 Watts.
Boost on a footswitch applicable to whatever channel you are in.. slight volume and gain boost.
A loop just so I could run an analog delay...I run stompers in the front.
Footswitch would have switch for each channel...plus the boost.. and an on/off for the loop
Purple Tolex. 70s Marshall Styling.
Purple 4x12 w/ Greenback 25s.
