Re: What's your favorite guitar amp brand?

I had to chime in and say BOGNER ALL THE WAY
THE SHIVA IS LIKE THE GOD IT WAS NAMED FOR
PURE BEAUTY AND DESTRUCTIVE TONE ALL IN ONE

Their other models kill as well.

I Love my Marshalls though.

I ALSO LOVE THE RIVERA KNUCKLEHEADs.

TRIED THE VHT DELIVERANCE AND WOW! Never thought I would love VHT

Traynor - Specifically the Traynor 50 Blue combo - clean blues/jazz/country with the distinct character of a real person. Good distortion channel. Gotta hear it with your favorite pedal.

Re: What's your favorite guitar amp brand?

i can't vote.............i like both the classic EL34 marshall tone and the darker Boogie tone.....I really like both those tones and i have never found a marshall that can simulate a boogie and vice versa..........

Re: What's your favorite guitar amp brand?

Really hard to pick just one. Quite a few have some really nice tones that I love. If I had to choose, I'd have to say the Bogner Ecstacy is quite possibly the best amp I've played through. Now if I only owned one...

I like marshall because of the great midrange and cutting sound. Also the el-34's give that classic tone everyone knows of.

Re: What's your favorite guitar amp brand?

out of that list definately Mesa Boogie, but there's no way i can afford one of those. I just bought an Ashdown Fallen Angel 60 watt 2x12 combo and that thing is insane!

Re: What's your favorite guitar amp brand?

I had to come back and now add FRAMUS to the list.

THE FRAMUS DRAGON totally nails the Marshall tone and sits somewhere between Marshall and ENGL in my book.

Re: What's your favorite guitar amp brand?

Marshall JCM800 fronted with a Tube Screamer is the only tone I'll ever want.


...unfortunately, I'm only able to experience this dream setup in the digitally-modelled world of my Digitech GNX3000 pumped through my Mackie board and monitors :dammit: some day perhaps...

I'm going to occupy a very lonely spot here, but I'm going to say Orange. It took buying an AD 30 to realise how amazing they are.

I used to have a DSL50, and I thought it was the biggest pile of cack ever from the get go. Old Marshalls are nice - a cranked JMP or 800 ('87 or earlier) sounds gorgeous. Used a late 1970s JMP to record with fairly recently, and it sounded amazing.

Re: What's your favorite guitar amp brand?

I vote for me.

Actually, I have sold all amps made by other folks. I'm surrounded by Celtic goodness. Thank you. Thank you.

Wait, stop the presses. I still have an old silverfaced Fender Pro sitting in teh closet, robbed of tubes and speakers. I'll bring her back to life and sell her one day.

A Metroamp, vintage Marshall - or better still:

Re: What's your favorite guitar amp brand?

Based on overall ownership and customer service it is Diezel all the way with no question. There is really nothing Peter Diezel and/or Uwe @ Salwander wouldn't do to help out a customer. Bogner, IMO, has rather poor customer service and VHT is so so.... Diezel is absolutely outstanding.

Re: What's your favorite guitar amp brand?

Marshall. No 2 ways about it =)
Tonebone + chorus

Re: What's your favorite guitar amp brand?

Yup, HIWATT particularly the Hylight/Reeves era
and the CP103 is really fine.

Re: What's your favorite guitar amp brand?

I can`t believe only two of you guys mentioned vox ac30.
I`m not sure if it`s the best(any model) but it sure deserves a place in the poll
