Members Edward Yawn Posted April 11, 2006 Members Share Posted April 11, 2006 Which amplifier is the world's worst guitar amplifier? The one with a sound that causes cats to run away and dogs to cover their ears? I am not asking about a general brand of amplifiers, meaning I am not looking for answers like "Peavey makes the worst amps!". I am refering to specific models from specific manufacturers. With that in mind, which is the worst sounding guitar amp in history? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Nerine Posted April 11, 2006 Members Share Posted April 11, 2006 Drive, Aslin Dane, Crateany from these manufacturers can be considered PONYCheck out the user reviews in the amps section.browse by manufacturer and then look at all the brands you havent heard of, or sound real budget, then look up their web address. http://www.aslindane.com/Amplifier_HTMS/Amp_Page_Table.htm for example...great thread idea, should see some funny amps coming up!

Members GCDEF Posted April 11, 2006 Members Share Posted April 11, 2006 Crate V series amps are actually very good. My vote is the Vox AD30VT. I just don't get what people see in those things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members the crowing Posted April 11, 2006 Members Share Posted April 11, 2006 that little white Vox Brain May Special... which is like 10watts SS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Les-Zombie Posted April 11, 2006 Members Share Posted April 11, 2006 I played a krankenstien head and cab last week and it was awful. I it with 6 different guitars and tweeked for a while and I still hated it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason being is that those rogues and little crates cost $100 and for that money I dont care. However I dont think a ~$3000 halfstack should sound as bad as the Krank does.

Members OverDriven Posted April 11, 2006 Members Share Posted April 11, 2006 I like how the original poster asked for specific models and the geniuses here do the exact opposite. Anyways...I would say that the Squier 10 watt SS practice amp is pretty bad, and a Crate Blue VooDoo my friend owned was also awful on the ears. Anyone who says that ALL Crate amps suck has no idea what they are talking about. -Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members scottdh Posted April 11, 2006 Members Share Posted April 11, 2006 My old 1986 J.B. Player practice amp. Good GAWD that thing was horrid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dreamspace Posted April 11, 2006 Members Share Posted April 11, 2006 speaking of real amps If you can't crank it... 5150 My GAWD that amp is pure thin buzz and fizz if it's on low volume... but when cranked, it's another amp- same goes for any Marshall TSL or DSL combo on low vol..

Members beathead Posted April 11, 2006 Members Share Posted April 11, 2006 I expect $100-$200 amps to sound awful, and most do, so I couldn't narrow it down to 1. I recently played through a crate blue voodoo full stack and could not believe the sound--WORST AMP I EVER HEARD/PLAYED!VERY cold, fizzy, and lifeless.
