What amp are you playing through, and what amp do you wish you were playing through?

[theManfromAlabam]

Lately I mostly use a Marshall Class 5 combo, VHT Special 6 combo and Fender Super Champ XD...I love the low wattage amps that are available these days.

[s1120]

I play through a VOX ad30vt right now, but would like to have a Marshall Class 5 for pratice and a VOX AC15, or AC30 for louder playing.

[Rick 381]

Currently the Vox AC-30. Would like an AC-100. It's what every livingroom player needs.

[Grantus]

I have a VHT Special 6 Ultra and a Fender Mustang I. I'm good although I wouldn't mind one of the new Yamaha amps.

[BeanoBoy]

I practice at home these days thru my Vibro Champ XD. Most of my recording is done with Amplitube, Guitar Rig, Waves etc. REALLY interested in the Yamaha THR 10 practice/recording amp due to our shores in January.

[Patuney]

My gigging amp is a Fender Deluxe VM, although for large outdoor venues, I add a Genz Benz Black Pearl. Tone and versitility, all I need.

[metallica_00]

Currently playing through a Fender Deluxe Reverb Reissue

 

Would rather be playing something along the lines of a Carr Rambler or Two Rock Studio Pro 35 - blackface inspired 1x12"s with more headroom and a few extra features than the Deluxe

[Vibroluxman]

 

 

Ampeg Mercury 12 from 1960. I really thought I wanted a deluxe reverb, but after trying one I just couldn't make myself pull the trigger after I bought this.

[hardtdc]

I'm playing through a 65 Amps London Pro and I can honestly say I don't want anything else. At least nothing else that I've heard - there are still many amps to demo out there! Cratz - if you get a chance, you should check out the EF86 channel on this thing - it's beautiful.

 

With out a doubt, I can see why you are content.

[BillyCorgan]

GAS is dead.

 

 

[cratz2]

You can always tell the Evil Twin visually as it has three or four extra knobs and no areas where there are gaps between the knobs.

 

As for the Red Knob Twin... other than how they cheapened the build of the guts, I've never understood the hate... or that of most Red Knob Fenders.

 

They sure sound like Fenders to me... always have... every one I've ever played.

 

[etawful]

Currently playing through an Egnater Rebel 30. I'm not unhappy with it, but I'm always on the hunt for something new and different.

[strtdv]

Not my pics, but:

 

 

 

(the Orange is away getting a service at the moment, I figured 35 years with the original caps was a bit too long, especially as it was starting to get quite a bit of mains hum from it)

 

Honestly I'm 100% happy. I'd like to get a Fender Supersonic 22, and I wish I could get a quieter version of the Orange (it's very loud indeed), but I'm more than content with what I've got.

[meandi]

My teacher just got one of the small orange heads that's switchable between, I believe, 7 & 15 w, through the V30 speaker box for a mini stack.

 

I'm liking it quite a a lot.

 

I've currently got an epi vj combo for practice, as well as a vj head through a 2x12 celestion black shadow set for jams with other players.

[jimash]

I have good amps.

Fender 75, Mesa subway, Bassman, ProJr.

But I would like an AC15 or if I could afford 3 AC15's, maybe one Budda Superdrive 18.

[wagdog]

As for the Red Knob Twin... other than how they cheapened the build of the guts, I've never understood the hate... or that of most Red Knob Fenders. They sure sound like Fenders to me... always have... every one I've ever played.

 

I think it's mostly internet lore, but it is based somewhat in reality that they run hot, and have all of the control knobs mounted on an apparently hard to fix circuit board.

 

 

Looking at that, I'd say it would be difficult, but not impossible to repair.

[wagdog]

Mostly playing through my champ project amp that I built and the twin that I built inside the super twin chassis... and am really happy w/those amps.

 

Would love to sell my rivera and peavey classic 50 to finance either a deluxe reverb, drri, or new 22w super-sonic. Maybe next year!

[gorebuc]

Playing through a Peavey Delta Blues 210 with Eminence Rajin Cajin and Ramrod speakers. I'm perfectly happy with it as I only use it for a loud clean pedal platform and it excels at that, but ideally I'd like an old Super Reverb or Music Man HD 130 210.

[Happy Ending]

Currently playing through

 

 

and/or

 

(fairly impressive little SS amp, has cascading gain preamp)

 

Wish I had

 

 

or this

 

(to rock my Townshend wannabe)

 

...or possibly this

Fender Vibroverb Diaz modified reissue from some years back. I demoed one in store and really sensed it possessed sound and response of a number of classic amps of its original era. I could've then - or now - blow up one of my credit cards and buy one but it wouldn't make any sense. I just play at home and and too closely situated to neighbors to crank it.

[Happy Ending]

...if I may ad another possibility:

 

with a Reeves 2x12 cab. Santa can you hear me?

[diceman1000]

i'm playing through a Crate VC3112, which i LOVE!!! but, a Budda Super Drive 30 would be AWSOME!!!

GAS is dead.

 

GAS is only sleeping.

[slushpup96]

 

Looking at that, I'd say it would be difficult, but not impossible to repair.

 

 

I've heard that. Mine's only problem is its reverb only works when it wants to. I have no idea why. One day it just happened.

[slushpup96]

 

 

 

I almost picked up a pre-Peavey one of these. Almost. It was pretty pricey though, and there was a lot temptations.

[slushpup96]

Oh, I forgot to mention, I'd sell all my amps for a Music Man RD50. There was a really clean one WITH its footswitch on ebay the other day. I got outbid

 

I'm still kicking myself for not bidding higher. Ah well, maybe there will be others.
