Members BG76 Posted December 23, 2012 Members Share Posted December 23, 2012 IIRC Ampeg did it first on the old Portaflex models, then on that Lee Jackson job in maybe 1990/91 that you also needed a key to turn on. Imagine that? I forgot my keys at the office so I have to cancel a gig. I used a DC-30 for a long time and someone made me a plate with my name on it that replaced the Matchless one. I didn't know new companies are doing it but when you figure how awful/unreliable a lot of the imported junk is these days I suppose they need to pile on the gadgets.

Members six acre lake Posted December 23, 2012 Members Share Posted December 23, 2012 The really aren't that many amp circuits out there (They are all basically derivatives) so garish lite up logo is all that sets most amps apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members tronus Posted December 23, 2012 Members Share Posted December 23, 2012 EDIT: posts got all screwed up. I like them but I may be biased. I think they are kinda sexy. I definitely didn't buy the damn amp because of the logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RUExp? Posted December 24, 2012 Members Share Posted December 24, 2012 The first amp I saw that featured a light up Logo was the Peavey Ultra Plus head. The logo turned green, yellow or red depending on which channel you were on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
