Your favorite amp

[Hiwatts and Gibsons]

For me, I do not think it is a favorite amp but a favorite combo. I run my JCM 2000 through Eminace Wheelhouse speakers and the VOX AC30 with Tone Speak Birminghams. I run the amps in parallel with the lows-mids going through the Marshall and mids-highs going through the VOX. It just works for me.

That's one hell of a sweet meat and potatoes rig, and I say that in the highest praise possible. There's not much ground that can't cover and sound amazing doing so. I can only imagine how epic that sounds. I did a wet/dry/wet rig a few times.with a Magnatone Panoramic dry in the middle, and my two Custom 100's split left and right wet. Freaking epic was the only way to describe it. I did similar with my DR Z Route 66 dry in the middle and the Magnatone split left and right in stereo. Again, just insanely sweet sounding.

Thanks for the cool words. Here is a track of me playing through that setup

loved the dr z rt66, loud as hell for a 32w amp

So warm and milkshake thick. li put a Mullard EF86 and replaced the stock 5U4G rectifier with a GZ34 which added a bit more punch and snarl to it. What an amazing amp.

And while it was definitely capable of getting loud, it never sounded small or thin even at low to moderate volumes.

As a dude who grew up on a healthy diet of Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Dio, Ozzy, etc... that has a killer '80s metal vibe going on. Great stuff.

I'd like a high gain version of a fender deluxe reverb, with a mid control.

I'm sure they exist, but ivdont know of any.

I am done with tubes after dipping my toe in the modelling world. It suits my needs with its variety and volume scalability.
I have a katana artist gen 3 on order to either plug directly into, or run my gx100 thru in a few different ways.

 

[jeremy]

fender makes (made?) a supersonic22 which is kinda like a dr with a gain channel

 

[Zerberus]

But even program changes would have to be on the same midi channel.

Correct, and it´s annoying AF. Again, if I would buy a new floorboard, it wouldn´t be another x-15

But as long as you´re only actually controlling one piece of gear (the g-major in this case), it serves it´s purpose. :beerchug:

The other issue I had with it was that the exp pedals moved in 'steps' rather than being continuous. If you take it apart, you see why.

My mesa boogie mark V:25 is an absolutely wonderful Swiss army knife that I am so happy to own

I also really enjoy the Fender Bassbreaker 007 Tweed (which came stock with a greenback, which is much to my liking)__PRESENT

 

[Hot Octopus]

My favorite amp is the Soldano SLO 100. 2nd is the Custom Audio 3+ SE. 3rd is the Sig:X.

 

[Phantasmagoria]

While I've never played one (or even seen one in person :laugh2..my fave is def a Soldano SLO. I have heard a Hot Rod 50 and the 30 watt SLO & those will do nicely as well

Next up ...a Mesa Dual Rectifier. OR a hot-rodded/modded JCM 800 (Jose mod or similar)..

Of the one's I own ...can't really say, cuz different flavors, I love them all, tube, SS, hybrid ..w/e

 

[uOpt]

So far my ENGL Blackmore model.

Great sounding amp. That's what I auditioned my '61ri SG Standard through at the store. It sounded fantastic.

My desert island amp is Matamp 1224. While for the modern higain I'd take Mesa Rectifier as a more conventional and easy to dial option, 1224 is a thick and juicy amp for everything else, delivering a really dreamy tones.

 

[Jeffblue]

I've got these:
1969 Fender bandmaster Reverb with the Fargen Blackface/ODS modification
1968 Fender Vibro Champ with a 10 inch speaker mod and Mercury Magnetics 57 champ OT mod
Trace Elliott Bonneville 4X10 the bottom 2 Celestions replaced with Weber Alnico California speakers
Rack unit Art SGX-2000 Express into a Mesa Boogie M190 into a Peavey Futura rack mount speaker cab
Mojotone Studio One a 15 inch cab loaded with a JBL K130
Marshall VS15R (gift) with a Fryette Valvulator v1 mounted in rear
Line 6 Spyder IV with a BK Butler Blue Tube pedal modified with a 6SL7 octal tube before input
Peavey KB100 modified with a 3 way crossover network and an added mi-range and upgraded super tweeter
Stromberg-Carlson PA amp to guitar conversion in an old Laney cab with a 12 inch Peavey Scorpion speaker
Blackstar Fly 3 modified with a 3 inch Neodymium speaker, an speaker output jack and strap locks (just in case of busking while standing)
Fender Mustang micro

The best things about desert islands is that they all have electricity, and somehow the salty sea air and sand never damage our valuable guitars, amps, or the turn tables for our desert island record collections whose vinyl is also somehow never scratched by the sand. F**king wonders of nature they are.

Nice choices btw, I owned a 2 Ch Dual Rectifier Tremoverb for 28 years, and currently own a Matamp GT150

I would love to try running this through the power section of my VHT.

If you lived in area, I would let you

I had an Ashdown Peacemaker 60 that I loved when it actually worked. Broke down and nobody could seem to fix it. The last time I had it repaired it worked for about 2 minutes and died again. Then languished for years till it finally got stolen (bet the thief was disappointed lol)

My favorite though is a Traynor YCS50. Solid workhorse and sounds sooooo good.
