The return of AMPZILLA - Pic Warning

[kevlar3000]

This is an appropriatley scruffy pic of my dusty and crusty stash of noisemakers. I LOVE THEM ALL SO DEARLY!! The uglier and dirtier, generally the happier I am. One day I will actually own a digital camera and trust me the amps will look even uglier!

Amp HO!

Seriously, you are an amp tone whore! I thought I was bad. The beauty of heads, right? Just stack em up and play through the same cab!

Re: The return of AMPZILLA - Pic Warning

Hmm, ive seen a few of those before lol. You have way too many Bassmasters and Mercuries.

Re: The return of AMPZILLA - Pic Warning

Awsome! Now that's a tone collection!

Re: The return of AMPZILLA - Pic Warning

I will not rest on this earth until I have a Celtic in that collection... bwahahahahaha!

Re: The return of AMPZILLA - Pic Warning

Awesome collection of tube goodies. The first thing I thought was....Kevlar doesn't live in earthquake territory. I'd be scared to have mine stacked up like that!

Re: The return of AMPZILLA - Pic Warning

Scott,
I definately prefer 'amp crack ho' cause these is low class all the way. I find these in the alleys and trashbins of trailerparks all around the nation. Celtic huh??? Very inteawesting wabbit... Remember, I get these with the crackho discount, I have a card... It ain't the bluelight special, it's the I ain't got no lights special!

GJ, I have thought often of the earthquake issue, and am glad it ain't an issue, if ya know what I mean!! If you look at the pick, you will clearly see that these amps actually snug right to the ceiling. I laughed when both sides were stacked as they fit perfectly. Now I am wondering where the 3rd stack will satrt???

BCV310, LOL... Perhaps one too many of each....

Re: The return of AMPZILLA - Pic Warning

More amps than I would ever need, but wow ... it looks COOL!!!!

Here's the amp wall from my rehearsal studio ...

 

[kevlar3000]

Re: The return of AMPZILLA - Pic Warning

Holy hell, nice rehearsal space!!

I played one amp all through the 90s, now I am like what the hell did I do that for? I use everyone of them, even when I practice I am switching every few minutes. The different tonal colors just keep inspiring me. I could care less about chasing guitars these days, but amps are a whole different thing.

You're not plugged into that Diezel VH4 are you? :wall:

 

[TwilightOdyssey]

Re: The return of AMPZILLA - Pic Warning

Yep, VH-4 is my #1 choice for rehearsals.

Re: The return of AMPZILLA - Pic Warning

I can only imagine how many guys would literally kil someonel for the wall of amps in that rehearsal studio.

Scott doesn't have much wiggle room on his already low-low prices, but he can save you the shipping. When he finishes your Celtic, he'll just throw it in the trash cans out back, and you can come and pick it up.


Are you familiar with a guy who goes by the handle 'Sgt. Overdrive'? He posts over at http://www.18watt.com/, or at least used to. He owns at least one of those Gibson Atlas' - I love that whole space-race era thing they got goin' on. Doesn't that amp have the dual pilot lights that switch from yellow to red for "standby" and "on"? The whole amp just screams "ready for liftoff".

Re: The return of AMPZILLA - Pic Warning

I have to say that Gearwhore is the reason for my recent shift away from buying guitars and towards buying quality amps. I'm an assistant gearwhore. God help me...
