List every amp you've ever owned! :scratchch :approve:

Not just the amps you own now, but every amp you've EVER owned!
 
Re: List every amp you've ever owned!

oh man.

1) Fender HOT (not Hot Rod, just HOT) - Sounds like ass. crappy pooey ass. with flies buzzing around it. Still have it, regrettably. Did I mention it sounds like ass?

2) Some other small Fender solid state practice amp that I don't remember the name of. Sounded worse than the HOT, if you can believe it. Sold it.

3) Randall RG100SC - was good for a while, but was too harsh sounding on the whole (except for the cleans, those were nice). Sold.

4) Rocktron Chameleon 2000 preamp/Mesa Boogie Simul 295 power amp - first real band rig. Still have the Rocktron. Sold the Mesa to fund #5.

5) Jet City JCA 100H - current amp. sounds awesome. couldn't be happier.
