Members guitarsk8er239 Posted August 12, 2010 Members Share Posted August 12, 2010 My VHT is the holy grail of hard rock/metal tones, but that's it. I have no intentions at all of selling the VHT, but I do have intentions of buying other amps. (Vox AC30, Fender Bassman, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pink freud Posted August 12, 2010 Members Share Posted August 12, 2010 I decided I don't have one. Don't like being stuck to one tone. More tones equals more combinations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members One Man Banned Posted August 12, 2010 Members Share Posted August 12, 2010 I sure have. I think my VHT and Peaveys are it for me. sure I will try and buy other amps, but I have never been this happy with my sound before. anyone else? 65 Amps and Valvetech's for me. Hands down the best amps I've played/owned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members One Man Banned Posted August 12, 2010 Members Share Posted August 12, 2010 Is the valvetech that white amp you own?That's one of them. It's the Valvetech VAC-50. I also have a pair of Valvetech Hayseed 30's that are just incredible sounding.

Members superflyinmonke Posted August 12, 2010 Members Share Posted August 12, 2010 Peters Chimera + UK Greenback loaded Orange It's glorious. The only thing that improves it is going in stereo with the Hydra and V30 Voltage cab. My Jackson is my go-to guitar. Resonant, tight, dynamic with bright singing highs. I do believe I have the tone I am looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members K-Bizzle Posted August 12, 2010 Members Share Posted August 12, 2010 My rig right now is {censored}ing awesome. Maybe I'll change a pup, or a tube, or a pedal but the core isn't going ANYWHERE. Eclipse>>HT-100>>MTS 2x12s makes me happy every time I play.

Members Ron Burgandy Posted August 12, 2010 Members Share Posted August 12, 2010 Yup. TS9 -> cranked '68 Pro Reverb But that amp doesn't need to be gigged much more than it already has. Beyond that, I'm absolutely in love with my new Tweaker. Like Raceu4her said above, I can get on stage and not worry a bit about my tone, while focusing everything on playing/rocking out. Even the AC30 had a few things I didn't like about it, but the Tweaker is just there. but the holy grail is still the Pro Reverb on 10 with my TS9. Sounds like a JTM45, but with amazing reverb and tremolo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mhenson42 Posted August 12, 2010 Members Share Posted August 12, 2010 I've recently become a Peavey convert. The 6505 and 6534+ in stereo sounds pretty damn good. Still want to hear the 20th Anniv. XTC though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Nerine Posted August 12, 2010 Members Share Posted August 12, 2010 Between my Einstein and Shiva, I am basically win for any tone this side of the brootulz. These two are keepers. Love them both. The diezel has an awesome lead tone. The notes just seem to bleed into each other with a nice sag. Yet chords ring out with separation and definition.The Shiva is just win on all accounts too. These two, are definitely grail amps for me. They sound and respond how I want them to. And they work great live. The features on both are perfect. So yeah. My Les Paul Custom into whichever of these I feel like is all I need really. Orange take care of my cab MXR, CAE, Trex and Dunlop do my effects. It's a {censored}ing rock machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members grunge782 Posted August 12, 2010 Members Share Posted August 12, 2010 I have a bunch of "holy grail" tones in my head. Three of them I have been able to actually get, two of them from amps I own. My favorite has to be from my dual rectifier. Currently I have been able to reach it with my Dual Rectifier solo head for hi-gain tones and for some lead tones. Another time was when I had my engl e530 for solo/shred wankery. For my mid-gain crunch tones it would be the jcm800 but that amp is just to damn loud for me to every buy it. For clean tones it would be the Bogner Shiva or a Divided by thirteen which are too expensive for me. I have gotten some really excellent cleans out of my Axe-fx as well, so I am not sure how big a difference there would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Facing Failure Posted August 12, 2010 Members Share Posted August 12, 2010 My Orange Rocker 30 halfstack with my gretsch hollowbody is seriously the most glorious tone I've ever had the privilege of experiencing.
