Members Mike LX-R Posted January 4, 2013 Members Share Posted January 4, 2013 Crate practice amp, Johnson practice amp, and Line 6 Flextone 2 in a band situation. The Line 6 was great mic'd for bedroom recording... actually VERY great, but it just {censored}ing disappeared in any live situation completely.

Members Ovid9 Posted January 4, 2013 Members Share Posted January 4, 2013 Probably the 15 watt Fender SS practice amp I started with. It wasn't even a Frontman 15 watter. I mean, it worked for its purpose of practicing but it sounded amazingly horrible for anything except basic clean practicing. I also have a Dinosaur 5 watt practice amp that probably sounds like ass but I've never plugged it in even. Got it with a Johnson strat I bought from a kid for $30. That project is still half finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members The Anomaly Posted January 4, 2013 Members Share Posted January 4, 2013 I have you all beat. My Crate CR-110, circa 1981. It's nothing short of amazing how bad it sounds.The sick thing is, I bought one off ebay about two years ago, on a whim, just so I could look at it in the house, once in a while.

Members soundgardener75 Posted January 4, 2013 Members Share Posted January 4, 2013 I did not have a proper first amp back in the 3rd World, but my sister had a 20 watt bass amp from a Taiwanese company called Genesis that had no low end at all, so I just used that in between her practicing. It's so terrible that the Crate Flexwave 15 that my younger sister's bandmate lends us every now and then is a vast improvement.

I don't hate PV, but i think their best stuff was late 80's & 90's. Hartly is a whore ... I got srs about guitar in 1982', i bought the BS from a black dude who played bass thru it. Shortly there after i bought my first Marshall a JMP MK II 2204 50 watt, then i was finally happy but always wanted a 100 JMP all thru the 80's.

Members mr. moon Posted January 4, 2013 Members Share Posted January 4, 2013 Scamper amp; worst amp I have ever had the displeasure of owning. Must have been some kind of Bugera prototype, as the one I had literally went up in smoke, never to be heard from again. True story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members GibsonVMan Posted January 4, 2013 Members Share Posted January 4, 2013 Worst is hard to say but if I had to say one, Randall warhead. Unreliable muddy piece of {censored}. Honorable mention will beKrank Rev Sst and a 3 channel mesa dual rectifier, early 2000s..there are some great sounding ones but this boogie was a turd.
