Members Hopeless Posted November 30, 2006 Members Share Posted November 30, 2006 Vox AC30 TBX1968 Fender Bassman Head1976 Marshall JMP 2204 Honestly its kind of a toss up between my Fender stage 100 and my 1959 bassman reissue. Sure the Bassman was a better amp, 10's just REALLY aren't my thing. Peavey Bandit 112 (RAWK!!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members geek_usa Posted November 30, 2006 Members Share Posted November 30, 2006 it would also help to say what kind of music you play. one amp that works the best for a metalhead might not work the best for say, a clapton afficionado. That said, i'm about right in the middle with some pretty heavy alt/hard rock. Tube amps Marshall JMP-1/Mesa Classic 50-50 Mesa/Boogie DC-3 (combo) Carvin X100-B (head) Solid State Roland Micro Cube Kustom 250 head/cab (2x15) Marshall VS30 Valvestate (combo) Behringer GM110 I really miss my DC-3. It was a good amp but I could never get it to sound good when I turned it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members cobrahead1030 Posted November 30, 2006 Members Share Posted November 30, 2006 framus cobra- i just love the amp, 2 years and going strong mesa mark III- altho it's pissing me off with recording right now peavey 5150- sold my first one, and had to buy another peavey ultra plus- great sounding amp, i should've held onto it mesa 3 ch. dual recto- sounded really good, but too much stuff to tweak peavey valveking- great amp for the money! sovtek mig100- nice marshally crunch, another one i wish i still had epiphone valve jr- very fun amp to jam on, kicks mucho ass for the price line 6 flextone HD- very versatile, amazing cleans, bland high gain tones line 6 spider 2x12- very cool practice amp, great cleans again, horrid high gain tones ...seems like i'm leaving out 1 or 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rushtallica Posted November 30, 2006 Members Share Posted November 30, 2006 I don't really like the idea of ranking mine due to liking different things about the different amps for what sounds I was trying to get at the times I've had each amp. That said, I'd put the 5150 and Ultra Plus (each with an eq in the fx loop) as well as the 6L6 versions I've had of the X100B (with tubescreamer boost) close together in a 3-way first place tie. The Sansamp PSA-1 preamp going through the Roland JC-120 would be a close 2nd place tie with the Behringer V-Amp 2 and V-Ampire amp going into the fx loop return of the Ultra Plus amp. The Behringer V-Ampire amp on its own might be 3rd place close to 2nd. A Marshall I used to have (pretty sure it was a JCM-800 model) would be in 4th place and was surprisingly lame, IMO. Not knocking all those '80s Marshalls, but the one I had... Maybe in a tie would be the old solid state Princeton Chorus amp I got around '90 or '91; not bad for SS at all, IMO. The Rockmaster preamp going through various fx loops likely would fit at 5th place and might make a good backup for the V-Amp or the Sansamp PSA-1 preamp (if I still had one of those). Some old Crate 212 combo I had would rank close to a couple Rage amps I've had but louder -- tying for 6th place. 7th place would go to my SS Rockbug tiny practice amp. Last place would go to the EL34 version of the X100B amp I currently have. If it didn't have a good clean channel, which amazingly doesn't even seem to take pedals well, I'd already have thrown it away. This was my most disappointing amp purchase. Edit: Oh, crap; I forgot the blackface '65 Bassman I had; I'd rank it fairly high for a great clean that breaks up easily, but at the time I had it I wasn't after the type of tone it was great at or I'd still have it.

OK clean, a little less than OK overdrive Marshall JCM800 4104 2x12 combo... The best overdrive, no clean, don't care. I roll the volume back, and/or play soft for clean, and it sounds great.
