Re: What Tube Amp do you use?
In order of purchase
1992 JCM900 head: never use it anymore.. sounds like it has been neutered.
1997 Mesa Trem-o-verb head: love it but now sounds like "generic" killer tone... hard to beat for singing leads though.
1981 JCM 800 4104 (2x12 combo): most fun cuz it is just nasty.. and by the way it LOVES the lava box .. super creamy.
and a little Vox tonelab for knockin ideas into the computer without hassles and a decent set of sounds.

Re: What Tube Amp do you use?
tell me more about this rig! what speakers do you use for the combo and the 4x12?
what type of music do you use for this rig? or should I just go by your handle?

Re: What Tube Amp do you use?
for special and important gigs i'll haul my 5150 and Classic 50 rig, ( that rig has a special amp switcher unit so i can a/b between the 2 heads into a single cab)... big and heavy but is the best sound i have for any type of gig... it does it all..
Most jamming and band practices i use a Peavey C30 combo... my most used amp of them all..... bought it used for cheap cheap cheap.... and i could do with a newer better amp but this does it's job... It needs tubes real soon.. I could not tell but today it seemed like it was fadeing in volume at a jam.. Could just of been my ears...
Sometimes i was a 42 year old 65 Deluxe amp and sometimes i use an early 80's JCM 800 2204 head..

Re: What Tube Amp do you use?
It's the Classic 30 combo going into a 16 ohm Behringer 412. Stock Jensens in the Behringer 412 and the stock Blue Marvel in the Peavey. The cabinet sounds really good and it lets the Peavey open up. I play in a rock/metal/hardcore band, but I like ALL music. This setup even has great cleans and allows the amp some more headroom. It's a great setup for jazz all the way up to metal. I like it, I'll stick with it for a while.

Re: What Tube Amp do you use?
I've got a Mesa/Boogie F-50.
I'm thinking of maybe selling it and getting a single recto or a 5150/6505 this summer though.

Ah ben tutoyez moi, j'ai que 20 ans, je suis pas vieux comme vous :laugh2: hehe je rigole... J'adore vos vieux Fender. C'est un de mes reves un jour d'avoir un BF Princeton Reverb ou un DR...
And of course blond Bassman or Showmaster head. Because they look hot
You ever added all the watts you have?

Oui, les Fender sont tres "cool"! Haha
The number of watts and tubes in the room equals tons of mojo! :headbang:

I have a few choices...
Or maybe one of these:
Often times, smaller tube amps are the ones I prefer:
Tweeds are very nice to play too!
