Members BeanoBoy Posted January 29, 2013 Members Share Posted January 29, 2013 My first amp was in my Sears Silvertone guitar case. My first 'proper amp' was an Ampeg Gemini I in the mid 60s. My last amp was the Kemper Profiling amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Brian Krashpad Posted January 29, 2013 Members Share Posted January 29, 2013 Well the first one I bought (as opposed to receiving as a gift) was my '69 Kustom 100, which I still have. Most recent purchased is a Crate B150 bass head I bought to flip, but will have to do some work on before reselling. Both can be seen in this pic: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members A_Gitarman Posted January 29, 2013 Members Share Posted January 29, 2013 First - after playing through a borrowed 2x12 no-name tube amp for years, I finally bought my own; a mid-80's Crate G80XL Latest - Jet City JCA22H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MephitBlue Posted January 29, 2013 Members Share Posted January 29, 2013 First amp when my parents were footing the bill - Gorilla 10 watt practice ampFirst amp with my own money - Fender Pro JuniorLast amp I bought - Traded a guitar for a Peavey Mini Collosal JSX. Recently replaced the preamp tube in it to a 5963 (close to a 12AU7in sound) tube to give the amp a lot more headroom. The only amp I regret parting with is the Fender Pro Junior. In fact, I'd say that is the only piece of music equipment I sold or traded that I wish I still had. The Peavey isn't a bad small tube amp, but the Fender was better.

Members Malcolm Ramone Posted January 29, 2013 Members Share Posted January 29, 2013 First, Peavey Audition 30. Great amp, but i blew it up.Last, a Marshall Lead 100 MOSFET head, which lives at my band's studio now. At least until I can afford to have my Ampeg VT 40 redone! -Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MesaMonster Posted January 29, 2013 Members Share Posted January 29, 2013 First one I bought was a Pig Nose amp. It was great for practice but could not play out anywhere. The last amp I bought is an Egnater Rebel 30 combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members noisebloom Posted January 29, 2013 Members Share Posted January 29, 2013 My very first amp was an unknown model Epiphone. I think it was 5 watts. Hated it, but it took dirt pedals pretty well.My most recent amp is a Blackstar HT-5, which is now three years old, and I'm still in love with it.My next amp will be an Orange of some flavor. I'm vacillating between a Micro Terror, a TT, a Jim Root #4 Terror, an OR15, or maybe even a used AD15/12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Burgess Posted January 30, 2013 Members Share Posted January 30, 2013 and yes, I had to build it myself. In fact that was when i learned to solder. I missed the part about the last amp. It's a Blackstar HT-Stage-100, the head only. It's sitting on top of a Peavey Windsor cab and I also have that head as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Special J Posted January 30, 2013 Members Share Posted January 30, 2013 First amp was some cheesy Crate POS practice amp.First proper giggable amp was a Peavey Stereo Chorus.Most recent was my Valvetech Hayseed 30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sailorofdarknes Posted January 31, 2013 Members Share Posted January 31, 2013 My first amp was a Gorilla, the first amp I bought was a Marshell valvestate VS100 (Ithink) in 1992-3. Wish I knew how to use it back then, I had only been playing for about 10 months when I got it. Wish I still had it as with a lot of the gear I've had. Last amp was a Blues JR.

Members 44caliberKid Posted February 1, 2013 Members Share Posted February 1, 2013 Yes awesome! My first amp was also a ill Gorilla, the 10 watter I believe, with no OD so I got my first OD pedal for my bday..a boss ds1 back in the late 90s I was about 13. My last amp, and currently, a peavey valve king 1x12 50 watt combo that I reloaded wit a Celestion vintage 30. And if I had the money today...a Badcat Lynx...but I'll probably change my mind tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members benzem Posted February 5, 2013 Members Share Posted February 5, 2013 3 months after I bot my first electric....Peavey Rage 158! I was stoked. Really made my strat come to life.Last one was a Mustang II. Play it daily. Great practice amp. In between were many tube amps(ampwhore) and a suprisingly awesome SS amp, a Lab Series L7 (actually more an L5 since it's in a 2x12.) Sounds like a twin.

Members toopicky Posted February 5, 2013 Members Share Posted February 5, 2013 My first was actually bought by my Dad. It was a Silvertone 1484. My second was a Kustom A200A-4. I saved money for a year and a half to get that one. Cost about $700 if I remember correctly and to this date is still the most expensive one I have bought. Then, a couple of years ago, I bought a Mustang II. Don't hardly ever use it though. Last summer I got a Kustom III Lead which was originally a combo, but I only got the amp and made a 2-12 cab and a case for the head. So it is now a piggy back. Still have all of them.
