Re: What's your favorite guitar amp brand?
I'm a sucker for any old point-to-point tube amp as evidenced by my collection:
72 Traynor Bassmaster
67 Fender Princeton
65 (or 67?) Sunn Sonaro
67 Gibson Skylark
64 Kalamazoo Model One
71 Traynor Custom Reverb.
Traynors would have to be my all around favorites, particularly the Custom Reverb. It's wired like a Fender (i.e., the tone controls come first in the tone stack, so you can actually do something with them), and I can run El34's with it. For gigs, I just set it at 6-7 and let my fingers, pickup selector, and volume knobs do the rest--I can get everything from fat n' clean to Townsend-like roars. Plus, everytime I've ever let other guitarists play on it (mesa owners, marshall worshipers, fender freaks, etc.), they can't seem to pry themselves away from it. Any compliments I have ever recieved during a gig stem from its righteous tone--not my playing skills (or lack thereof)
