Which Amp to your Deserted Island?

From my choices there -The Dumble

I'd take a Vox Valvetronix 60 watt rig if I only get one amp and I could get to the store first.

I voted for the JCM800, but my desert Island amp would be a Soldano KT-66 Decatone. Bogner Ecstacys are great, but I just can't get over how compressed and squashed sounding they are.

Blackface Fender Champ Amp. :smoker:

Gotta make a pull for the 4x10 Bassman. It'll sound like heaven turned down when I get reflective and crunch up real nice when I get into a party mood (when the topless girls from the next island pop over).

I'd take a tweed '59 Deluxe or a blackface '66 Deluxe Reverb.

What the hell did I vote Mesa for? Madness of youth.

Marshall JCM800 2203 head.

And my Les Paul.

And my Boss OD-1. Then all should be fine.

He's stranded on a desert island. Poor guy.

Re: Which Amp to your Deserted Island?

I'm not sure if I'd want an amp if I was stranded on a deserted island.

I'd take a National Tricone Resonator guitar. Collectors would find me.

Jeez, guys, don't you know by now that these post go in the Amplifier forum? I'm disappointed...

Re: Which Amp to your Deserted Island?

I'd take the Bassman. And I'd take a Gretsch of some sort.

Who needs versatility?

My Marshall 2100 (JCM 900 MKIII). I must have a 4x12 with v30's though and the head must have Sovtek LPS and Sovtek WXT's in it!!!!!

Re: Which Amp to your Deserted Island?

My 65 Deluxe Reverb.

But I voted 59 Bassman, because there was no DR choice.

Was a hard choice between the Twin and Bassman. Picked the Twin...

I went with that as well. Go figure!

Re: Which Amp to your Deserted Island?

Wow.... man, on a deserted island. I'll need a good clean, a good rock OD, and some way to get a good metal crunch.

I could do it with the Mk IV but I don't like Mesa gain.
The Bassman and AC30 are great-sounding amps but definitely fall short for metal.
I think I have to go with the JCM 800. Come to think of it, on a deserted island, there's no one to complain about volume, so I can crank that SOB.

If I am freed from the list, I'd probably pick something like a Bogner Ecstasy or a Wizard Modern Classic (I love my Uber but it's not exactly "deserted island" versatile).

We'll need to decide who's copying whom here. Or do you want to create a new musical movement? :friday:

If we're stranded on neighboring islands, maybe we could jam!
