One Amp, One Sound For Life - No Pedals

[Aceman]

Well, at the moment....

My Mesa Stiletto Deuce has been giving me exactly that for a few years.

Diode Rectifier
Bold Mode
50 watt
Lead Channel
Tite Gain setting

To be fair - this amp has: Diode/Tube Rectifiers, Bold/Spongy modes, 50/100watt power, and two channels each with three modes: Clean/Fat Clean/Crunch, Crunch/Tite/Fluid Gain options. That's 24 combinations of clean channel or gain channel. So if you can't find SOMETHING that works for you...

Ok, now, according to the OP, choose one of those combinations to live with as your signature sound. Without any pedals.

The best amp I ever tried was a Soldano Hot Rod 50+, and although I didn't get to spend much time with it, I suspect that it would do the trick. The Marshall JVM series, which is chock full with useful features in its own, would also work, as would a rig based around an ADA MP-1.

I did - That list show it. Diode, Bold, 50 watt, tide gain...

Mode Four.

But I could also be happy with JVM, TSL, egnater Armageddon, or even a 6505

My Marshall JVM410H full stack with G12T-75 loaded 4x12 cabinets works for me.

My Jube has done me well for many a year and more to come. Never parting with it

I want that.

I could do with my Lines Spidervalve head into either my 4x12 or 2x12. But there's no way that I would forego the footswitch and the options that it gives.

I have a Line 6 Vetta HD, but it would be useless without the long board. I guess I would have to go with a Bugera Trirec. I heard a comparison with a Triple Rectifier and to MY ears the Bugera sounded better. Most others agreed. I don't get Line 6 every time they come out with an amp that people love, it's discontinued.

I've got the same board. It's great. Volume on the right, Wah on the left. I'd like to hear how the Spidervalve sounds compared to the Vetta.

Read the owners manual for the Rivera TBR-1SL some day then get back to me about options and potential combinations .
I'll never use half of what that thing is capable of.
And its rack-mountable.

My older Cornford MK50h and old orange 4x12 (both retolexed by yours truly)…. It ain’t going anywhere. I’ve tried many amps, and bought a MesaMK5 thinking it would knock it off too spot. The Mesa has gone and MY boy stays!

I used to have a really nice 72 Ampeg V4 with a Tom Scholz Power Soak that sounded great. But it ate tubes like they were going out of style. I wanted to keep her, but couldn't afford to feed it. It needed to be cranked to get peak distortion. But man. Think Supernaut.

I had a Hellcat and a MK (White Chassis) that I sold and wish I hadn't. I do still have my Cornford Kotzen head and will keep it forever. Tolex looks nice!

Thanks, yes I knew you had a RK in your most excellent stable of amps! I keep looking for one to go with my RK 4x12 but when they come up now they are just so expensive…. I remember missing one a few years ago for £700!!!

EEEEE GADS!!!!! What a deal that was! I haven't seen one for sale at any price in a very long time.
