Re: Which Amp to your Deserted Island?

I take none of them. I'll take a Line6, HD147 or Vetta II. I wouldn't be particularly happy with either, but when your tubes burn out in a year or less, I'll still be rocking out. :headbang:

If tubes aren't an issue, I'd probably want a high end channel switcher. Never played one, but a Ecstasy sounds like it's right up my alley.

I would have taken the Vetta II also; but they weren't part of the poll Mike...:banned::jester:
 
Re: Which Amp to your Deserted Island?

Dumble would be the choice here :)

But since they are no more, I'll take a Fuchs ODS which I just picked up.

I also own a matchless dc-30, naylor superdrive, & fender twin. The fuchs if i had to pick,best of both worlds

Re: Which Amp to your Deserted Island?

Well.... if we were on a deserted Island I doubt there would be any electricity so I would take my Santa Cruz OM and handful of picks and a whole bunch of strings and slides.

But understanding what you are looking for.... I would take my Komet 60... my 335, my Black EC Strat, my 52 RI Tele and my Les Paul Standard!
 
Re: Which Amp to your Deserted Island?

I would probably take the bluesbreaker. Other than the JCM800, none of them have that classic Marshall crunch which I need so badly.
 
Re: Which Amp to your Deserted Island?

I probably haven't played my deserted island amp yet.

I'd have to try that modular Randall, with a crate full of preamp modules.

(But I voted for the JCM 800. I think I could deliver the goods with it.)

none of the above, though the mark4 comes closest: the Engl SE. Its got the lovely cleans I want, the dirty crunch which goes from ac30 territory to jcm800 like tones, and beyond. With ofcourse 2 Kool&ELfring cabinets: best cabs I've EVER heard!

Not on the list Fender Prosonic.
Own 2 now had 4 last year play through nothing else
 
Re: Which Amp to your Deserted Island?

What....no Carvin Nomad? I will take the BF Twin Reverb then.
