Members evets618 Posted February 26, 2013 Members Share Posted February 26, 2013 Mesa Mark III.Owned and operated since 1990, so now it's like an old comfortable pair of high-tops. I've played so many different gigs and rooms with it I can get my distinctive crappy sound no matter what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil O'Keefe Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Fender Princeton. Blackface or Silverface, with reverb. Why? It's the ultimate recording and small gig amp. Hand built, with P2P wiring. Tube rectifier. Easy to carry, killer classic Fender cleans, reverb and tremolo for the ages. Can play soft and still sound great, and can get reasonably loud and give you some great grit when the occasion calls for it. Takes pedals like a champ - actually it takes pedals better than most Champs IMHO. It's a legendary amp. Honestly - is anyone really surprised that I'd choose the Princeton?

Members MesaMonster Posted February 26, 2013 Members Share Posted February 26, 2013 My Egnater Rebel 30 combo. It is a great versatile amp. Gives me two different tube sets (6L6 and EL84), 1 to 30 watts settings per channel. It is a little heavy but a I have a cart for that. I can get some great sounds from it and it takes pedals well.

Members imbuedblue Posted February 26, 2013 Members Share Posted February 26, 2013 Vox AC30. I just get along with them better than anything else.Or a Princeton Reverb for all the reasons Phil gave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ArcherArcher Posted February 26, 2013 Members Share Posted February 26, 2013 AC15.The volume is perfect at band levels, the cleans are nice and woody, the breakup is sweet.Awesome {censored}, although I always try to convince myself I want an AC30 too.

Members Beef Posted February 26, 2013 Members Share Posted February 26, 2013 Right now I've really been enjoying my Mesa F-50. Simply put, it's got lots of headroom, real nice cleans, doesn't get flubby in any way when cranked, takes pedals well, and I've had no reliability issues. I've also got a SF Deluxe Reverb that I love for many of the same reasons although that guy can get a little flubby and obviously has less headroom but it's an awesome amp too.

Members TomCTC Posted February 26, 2013 Members Share Posted February 26, 2013 BG76 is on the right track. I'd love an old Bassman/Super Reverb, Bluesbreaker, DC-30, Soho, Maverick! Ahhh, so many nice combos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Zappa74 Posted February 26, 2013 Members Share Posted February 26, 2013 I'm happy with pretty much any fender tube combo. Deluxe reverb, Princeton reverb, twin reverb. All good. Though lately I've been constrained to a Roland cube 30x and I really, really like it. A couple flavors of nice good clean tones that also take overdrive and fuzz well. Big sound for a solid state amp with a 10 inch speaker in a tiny cabinet. If only the reverb wasn't so {censored}ty on it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members echodeluxe Posted February 27, 2013 Author Members Share Posted February 27, 2013 I really like the hot rod series, too. Great workhorse amps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faldoe Posted February 27, 2013 Members Share Posted February 27, 2013 from the combos I've owned or played thus far: Ampeg Gemini I. I'll get another someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members A.P. Ryder Posted February 27, 2013 Members Share Posted February 27, 2013 My Clark Beaufort with 'verb (18 watt Tweed Deluxe clone). I've had it for about 12 years and I just love the tones I get out of that thing. Probably why I go through months of not using effects because the amp sounds so good with just the guitar going straight into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GuitarSlim101 Posted February 27, 2013 Members Share Posted February 27, 2013 I'll add another vote for the Tweed Deluxe. It works in pretty much any situation for me. I love the clean tone, I can throw any of my dirt boxes at it if I need to, it has enough range of natural dirt that I don't need any extra fuzz (though that doesn't stop me from keeping a Tonebender around), it's an easy amp to carry around, and tweed combos just look so nice. My runner-up would be the Supro 6424T. 6973s are lovely little tubes, has a great tremolo circuit, and has a wonderful overdriven sound for late 60s garage/psychedelic rock tones.

Members BG76 Posted February 27, 2013 Members Share Posted February 27, 2013 Here are some other combo amps that I really like a lot: Dumble Rickenbacker (my fav slide amp) Soldano 4x10 Bad pic, but these little Gibson amps are awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members TieDyedDevil Posted March 4, 2013 Members Share Posted March 4, 2013 Pretty much anything in the sonic neighborhood of a Fender Tweed amp. I'm currently playing a Bogner New Yorker. Why? They're fun to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jhamnett Posted March 4, 2013 Members Share Posted March 4, 2013 Ampeg VT-22. Because switchable center frequencies for your tone controls is awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members lz4005 Posted March 4, 2013 Members Share Posted March 4, 2013 For guitar: Early 80's Fender Super Champ. 18W, switching channel, spring reverb, designed by Paul Rivera. They only made them for four years, so they're pretty rare, but they sound great. For bass: Ampeg B-15. Best bass amp ever for recording and classic old school sounds.

Members VTEC_Dreams Posted March 5, 2013 Members Share Posted March 5, 2013 I've gotta agree on the Soldano. *Any* Soldano. That said, I've got an early 90's Ampeg VH-140c 2x12 combo that I am absolutely head over heels for. It's so, so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
