Members Edward Posted June 6, 2006 Members Share Posted June 6, 2006 No photos, but I've got... Smokey (the deluxe, plastic bodied one, in glittery purple) Squier Sidekick (IIRC 9.5 RMS) My Bass amp is a Vox T-25..... damn loud for playing at home, and I reckon would be fine for a gig mic'ed if i ever needed to do that Oh..... my main amp is a Vox AD120VT, it ain't small physically, but most of the time i play it set to 2x1w...... that count? damn but it can get loud cranked on some of the models even at that low setting.....

Members Futch Posted June 6, 2006 Members Share Posted June 6, 2006 Originally posted by Alchemist Sounded bigger, more dynamic, with more gain when turned up, EL34 tubes as well, the 30 watter is EL84's and while I love EL84's I already have them in my Mesa. I wont be playing in my bedroom forever (I'm actualy playing in my homestudio that I am putting together), its just that until I finish my degree I dont really have time to gig. After that I have several gigs lined up for me where I will need that big amp. (like outdoor metal shows where I can really crank it and let that orange sound come out:love: ) Oh right i see. I long to have an orange one day, along with a deluxe reverb to take the place of my blues junior. Since the first time i played an orange they have been my dream amp for rockier stuff.

Members yabba Posted June 6, 2006 Members Share Posted June 6, 2006 Originally posted by Tiny What are the "extra bells and whistles"? I'm in the process of building one, and am curious to see what you got! it's has a different tone stack (FMV style low-mid-treble), a filter choke, and it's switchable between pentode and triode modes (triode knocking the output down to 2 or 3 watts, rather than 5 or 6; but I prefer the tone of it running in pentode mode, so it spends 99% of the time like that anyway) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MrSteed Posted June 6, 2006 Members Share Posted June 6, 2006 Originally posted by ratkent Tell us all about this one! It's a Torres Engineering Boogie Mite. It's about 3 Watts and comes in a version that's 5. All tube and it's got some nice features for a tiny amp. Sounds great and I can turn it up to 10 in the house But it's still LOUD. They also make a 1 Watt tube amp. All the specs are on thier web page. Reading some reviews, I take it some people don't care for Dan Torres. I live about 10 minutes away from them and he seemed nice enough to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
