Marshall. Specifically the JCM800 2203. C'mon, if you can get everything from High on Fire to Zakk Wylde and back again, that's pretty ****in' awesome!
 
Re: What's your favorite guitar amp brand?

I play a Les Paul Custom Lite with a crappy old Bandit 112. Favourite brand would be PRS with Messa Boogie MkIV. I'm fond of the McCarty Soapbar but they're a rip off over here in the UK.

Re: What's your favorite guitar amp brand?

I dont really have a fav brand. The amps I have cover everything i need.....but all those needs arent covered in one amp alone.

The amp I use most is my Harry Joyce.
 
Re: What's your favorite guitar amp brand?

my favorite amp of all time for distortion is the marshall JCM 800 2204.
I played my friends and instantly loved the sound. but for cleans i'd have to say and ADA MP-1 the clean is orgasmic on these preamps. run and A/B switch to both these amps and theres my rig once i get some money
 
Re: What's your favorite guitar amp brand?

There are so many good amps out there its hard to pick just one.

I own a Super Reverb that I bought in 1989

I own a Marshall 900 which I bout in 1990

I own a Carvin X60 that I bought in '92

I own a Deluxe Reverb that I bought last year

I own a Bogner Shiva that I bought last weekend.

As you can see I can't just pick one. For the last 10 years I have been A/Bing the Super with the Marshall to get all the tone I want/need. The Bogner should give me all I need I just haven't had enough time on it yet. So right now I would have to say Fender............. but I have a feeling my opinion will change in the next few months.
 
Re: What's your favorite guitar amp brand?

I voted Fender because of its overall versatility and beautiful cleans but I could've just as easily chosen Vox for its unparalleled clean tone, Marshall for its classic crunch or Bogner for its killer modern crunch. I love Mesa and own two of them but if I could afford it I'd own a vintage Marshall JCM800 and a Bogner Ecstacy.

Holy crap this thread raged back from the dead...

I think Berhinger makes the best amps...:laugh2:
 
Re: What's your favorite guitar amp brand?

I wish I could retract my vote...at the time I was still in honeymoon phase with my mesa/boogie...but now that I boil right down to it..Fender is where my tone is...no doubt about it
 
Re: What's your favorite guitar amp brand?

ok... i voted mesa-boogie but i havent playe with one yet.... on the other hand i like and trust crate their the best to the beat them up... every single day...

Just want to give Univox an honorable mention. Gotta find the right model, but when you do WOW.
 
Re: What's your favorite guitar amp brand?

Rivera. Good stuff at great prices. I also own an amazing Victoria ( better than the original Fender tweeds ), and am currently seeking out a Groove Tube Soul-O single Combo, said to be to-die-for.
 
Re: What's your favorite guitar amp brand?

I voted "Fender" but basically I prefer an amp WITHOUT amp modelling. Does anyone else feel that an amp with amp modelling is about the dumbest idea ever? I just thought it sorta sounded like an oxymoron / "dumb blonde" design. Granted, yes, I know it has its uses, but it's annoying to me. No, I'm not hating or flaming.
 
Re: What's your favorite guitar amp brand?

VHT Pitbulls are THE ROCK amps. they are the coolest Marshall modded style amps i have played.

CAE OD100 in close second.

Old Marshall rock too. NOT the new stuff, i dont care what people say.

Liked the THD Univalve as well.


Would love to hear a Bogner again ( Heard one many years ago and cant remember the sound) plus a Splawn to hear what all the hype is about.
OH almost forgot i would love to hear a Mojave Peacmaker. Those have some really cool sounds.
 
Re: What's your favorite guitar amp brand?

Not sure.

I always wanted to go on tour with a wall of Gorilla cabs.

Never seen a cab with "other" on it. I may give them a try.
 
Re: What's your favorite guitar amp brand?

bogner shiva... this amp just flat out rocks! played the el-34 combo model.
did an a/b/c test with a marshall jcm800 with 4x12 greenbacks and a boogie f50 with a 2x12 ear candy cab.
the shiva was in a totally different league! just super juicy, sweet sustain! used a les paul with it.
with a strat, you can get pretty good srv tones from both the clean & dirty channels (although i never tried it, the 6L6 model might be better for this).

for cleans, my favorite is definitely the fender 59 bassman reisssue! sweeeeeeet!!!!! just add a keeley-modded ts-9 or a t-rex dual overdrive pedal and you're set!
it also helps if you jack the normal and bright channels together! bigger sound!
