What's your fantasy amp?

[dunwichamps]

I usually use the same ones as a GT120 or also some of the OR120s so yes

[moose23]

Nick, have you got a legible GT120 schematic I could have a look at?

A giant 100-150 watt Tweed Deluxe would be awesome. I'd also love to see something with the lowend of a Matamp with the mid's and dynamics of a Trainwreck.

100W deluxe, super simple, super loud.

I was just looking at the 5e3 schematics earlier today. I think that will be my next build but with swappable 6v6's & 6L6's.

I don't really fantasize about amps but a Blond 1963 Fender Showman would be cool I suppose. A V4 that doesn't weigh a ton would be great.

true miracle

indeed. i swear i've carried one that weighs as much as a twin.

[dunwichamps]

my is a metric fuck ton, but thats cuz they used huge iron in that amp. Oversized, large bandwidth stuff by the looks of it.

Cheers dude.

Basically a Laney GH50L with reverb, a bit more gain(just in case), and true crankable clean all times 2 for 2 channels. That would be the perfect amp for me at this point. I'm not even sure I would ever use the extra gain or use it purely clean. So for now the stock GH I have is fine. The gain on this sucker is perfect for the type of metal I play and it's a really awesome sounding gain, it's not muddy yet it's not overly crisp either. Turn off the high gain and it's a rock machine and very non-master volume to JCM800 Marshall sounding.

Laney makes a couple amps that seem to be close to what I'm talking about here but I've never played them.

i have a 1997 svt that i absolutely love for geetar.........

so a hand wired version(no pcb) of this with a 8 ohm output would make me a happy camper

is it a reissue of the old SVT 6x6550 amp?

not quite, its called a svt "classic", but is a bit different, a few less preamp tubes

[fallen]

I didn't love the preamp section but I really liked the power amp on that Fender Prosonic head that you could switch between a bunch of modes. Tube rectified class A, tube rectified class A/B and solid state class A/B... or labeled something similar.

It was a cool idea to be able to leave the front end set and then get a bunch of variations of tone from the power section. Would be great with a Matamp front end.

[mawso]

"fantasy amp" means something that doesn't actually exist, right?

cos I really really really like the Bogner Uberschall

but i have no use for a clean channel - i prefer to just use the volume knob - and 100 watts is silly

I'd buy the shit out of a 50 watt single channel uberschall amp, for sure

and/or

[MichaelZodiac]

Matamp/Orange design for bass so a GT200 or AD200B, with one as a slave unit -pure volume- and a master head for the controls. The less controls the better, I want pure and sweet tone so master, volume, treble, bass & mids. Everything else I don't need. It has also has to take pedals like a motherfucker. The lower the price the better. Coupled with a couple of 2*15 and a couple of 4*12 to get the maximum out of the rig.

2204 is a nice circuit, I dont know the exact power unit schematic but I do know the MV-120 schematic

I already own the amp I always wanted.  JCM 800 2204. 50w, 1 channel - thus almost retard friendly

I sent it to these guys last year for an overhaul:

http://www.flynnamps.co.uk/

It came back sounding like very loud angry sex.

Asked them to brighten it up a bit, it had Svetlana tubes (I think) when I got it and was pretty muddy.  Probably old tubes, but the difference before and after is like night and day!  Mesa tubes in it now.

yeah a "matwreck" would be pretty much perfect!

[Ombrenuit]

Mine is probably a matamp gt1 50w.

I bought an amp that had been 'serviced' by them and came with a receipt from them, It was a horribly bodged mess, I got a pm on the forum where the deal went down warning me of the same. This solder splattered over components was a highlight:

ahh cathodyne versus long tail pair. You could do a nice 50W x 2 amp with both amps being built into one head.
