Nice variety so far. That Egnater Renegade has my attention. I'll have to go check one out.

My 4104 knocked off my Mesa Mark V, which is what I'm thinking of flipping for something else. Maybe another Marshall. Totally_jammin_out.gif

Peavey Ultra+ through a B-52 4x12 13-ply birch cab with Celestion 30's. Surprisingly, for being on the cheap, it sounds pretty freakin awesome.

Unless we're in a place where we need extremely low volume - then it's a Pod X3 Live straight to the board.

the old Triumphs and Ultras were pretty good sounding higher gain amps. Better than the newer XXX and 5150s, IMO.

I typically run either a Rivera M60 or an old BF Bassman clean, and get all my drive from a pair of "amp-in-a-box" pedals....a Carl Martin AC-Tone, and a GeekMacdaddy British Ball Breaker for a more Marshall-esque grit. Or I can cascade them for a great lead tone.

Sounds absolutely fantastic, if I do say so myself.

The Ultra Plus is one of my favorite amps ever.

My absolute favorite amp ever is the one that came just before it, the Ultra 60/120.

Hot Rod Deluxe III 'Red October' - the one with the Eminence Red Coat Wizard

Cleans that you can't beat - crunch that is really great with single coils - takes pedals (in both channels) really well - LOUD AS HELL... and it's got Bronco Red Tolex!!!!!! Best $800 I ever spent!

For the past couple years, I've used a Vox Night Train with an Avatar 1x12 cab with a Celestion Alnico Gold in it. I can dial in a nice sparkly clean sound, and it works well with my GT-10 in front of it for effects. The Gold is pretty efficient so it gets as loud as I need it to be---the group I play guitar with is not all that loud overall.

But, earlier this year, I had a Quilter Micro Pro to test out, and it was pretty impressive for such a small portable amp. I had the 8-inch speaker version, which despite expectations from such a small speaker was definitely a real-world, giggable amp, but I see now that they have a 12" version, and I think that would be better. The one I had sounded pretty good through the stock speaker, but it really came alive with a 1x12 extension cab hooked up.

A few weeks ago I got an Egnater Tweaker 15 head, and I'm excited to test it out, but I haven't had a guitar gig recently. (I play bass in my main band.)
