Re: what was the first amp you ever bought, and your last amp

First: 40 watt Holmes practice amp. Sounded great until the speaker started to crackle and I eventually gave it to Goodwill during a long lapse in playing.

Last: Blackstar HT-1R

Re: :p

Peavey Bandit back in the late 80's, not bad in hindsight, wish I still had it.

 

Currently playing through a Bugera V22 and am very happy with it although the overdrive is a bit fizzy, the clean is amazing though.  I run pedals through the clean.

Re: :p

The first amp that I purchased was a Gulid Thunderbass head. I used it for guitar. It had a master volume, which was rare back then. I used it with an old 4x12 Vox cab.

 Guild Thunderbass Head

The last amp I bought was my second Goodsell Super17 MkII. The first one was a head, the last one is 1x12 combo in tweed covering with Reverb & tremolo back when it was new, approx '08. I really haven't needed to look at amps after I got my Goodsells.

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.

Re: what was the first amp you ever bought, and your last amp

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:

Re: what was the first amp you ever bought, and your last amp

First - after playing through a borrowed 2x12 no-name tube amp for years, I finally bought my own; a mid-80's Crate G80XL :mantongue:

Latest - Jet City JCA22H

 

In it's simplest form, a guitar is just wooden box. It's up to you to decide how to fill it.

First amp when my parents were footing the bill - Gorilla 10 watt practice amp

First amp with my own money - Fender Pro Junior

Last 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.

Re: what was the first amp you ever bought, and your last amp

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
