How many amps?

Dave J · May 14, 2013, 11:41:35 PM

I only have two:

1. JCM 800 2203 100 Watts
2. 1959 Reissue SL Plexi with Splawn Mod

I also have a Marshall 1960a 4x12 and a shitty Crate 4x12 I'm trying to get rid of.

I have two heads I should sell... a Plush PS1000, and a Guild Thunderbass. The Plush is a tough one because it needs a tune up, meaning I will lose even more money on it (I overbid by maybe 100 bucks on Ebay... 400 dollar purchase).

I have a Marshall RI 1987XL - 50 watt and a Traynor YBA 1A - w/ kt88s in it... The Traynor sounds pretty nice for bass - as its a bass amp - but I deff prefer it for guitar. I need a new bass amp - I think I have had enough 100lb tube monsters... My last bass amp was a MarkBass LittleTube 800 - I ran it with a JHS LOw Drive in front of it - through an Orange 4x10 - sounded fkkn awesome. And the amp fit into my shoulder bag and weighed like 5 lbs - lol.

I'm up to 6 now...

bass:
Trace Elliot 4x10" combo with extra 4x10" cab

guitar:
Ibanez Valbee combo
Peavey Bandit 1x12 combo
Peavey Valveking 1x12 combo
Laney Lionheart 20 head, 2x12 cab with vintage (1965) Celestion G12s
Laney GH50L head, 4x12 cab with Celestion G12-80s

I don't really use the Peaveys, they're too loud for home use and I have the Laneys for band rehearsals. I got the Valveking just because it was cheap and I thought it would be a good candidate for modding (which it is, I just haven't gotten around to it yet).

MR. CREEPER · May 16, 2013, 08:16:53 AM

I had 5, disassembled 2 for experimentation. Still had a Carvin MTS 3200 head w/ Carvin 2X12 cab, a '74 Acoustic 4X12(big one like old Marshall vintage tall cab) a V16 Palomino combo, and a Epi Valve Jr head and 1X12 cab.
I was so impressed by Epi's simplicity and the discovery that I really didn't NEED a huge rig for jamming, recording, etc that I traded in Carvin and Palomino for a Marshall DSL 15 head. Still have all the cabs(1x12, 2x12, 4x12) which can be used for the Marshall and Epi heads, and have never felt better.
You truly can not enjoy the tone from a cranked 100 watt head the same as a lower wattage head pushed. You can actually HEAR all the tonal variables versus hearing for a second before going deaf, and blind from the sheer rage of a big amp.

Question about that Traynor...

Ask yourself...

RAGER · May 16, 2013, 10:29:35 AM

I got a bunch of dusty old run o the mill 100 watters. Ya know, Marshall, Orange , Fender, Sunn, crap like that.

VOLVO))) · May 16, 2013, 10:45:36 AM

Sounds like you're compensating for something. :-D

RAGER · May 16, 2013, 10:57:14 AM

Yes. When I was a child I was so poor I couldn't even afford one 100 watter, just a Peavey.

Only one of those or120s is mine. 1977.

Jake · May 16, 2013, 05:06:16 PM

I find myself using these "amps" a lot these days. They sound surprisingly good – great even, through studio monitors. And there's near infinite configurations with all the options/effects/cabinets/mics available.

RAGER · May 16, 2013, 05:11:47 PM

I don't see a Dimble in there.

showdown · May 17, 2013, 06:08:36 AM

Guitar Rig is a lot of fun, with all those possibilities and combinations. Try the AC30, all dimed, into an Ampeg 8x10 sometime

mulekicker · May 17, 2013, 10:03:00 AM

Relating to possibilities and combinations, i recently picked up a used Eganater Tweaker 15 combo and have fallen in love with it. I've always kinda written off the Egnater stuff as being for the Guitar Center crowd, like Bugera or Line 6. On a whim, I tried out the Tweaker and was blown away. It's got a ton of solid, different tones inside of it. It's loud for a 15 watt. Has a relatively good amount of headroom (for a lower wattage amp). Is a really good pedal platform (although i've been plugging straight in), and they are fuckin cheap. You can really dial in a lot of convincing sounds on this thing, almost like a modeling amp but real and organic sounding. You can also swap out power tubes (ships with 6v6) to el34, 6l6, kt's and the like with no biasing or fuckin around. Long story short, if anyones in the market for a cheap, low wattage amp, don't sleep on these. You can find the heads on craigslist for around 300 bucks.

everdrone · May 18, 2013, 09:36:13 PM

2 home practice amps

3 solid state bass amps

1 thunderverb 50 Orange guitar amp

modelers

Instant Dan · May 19, 2013, 10:36:20 AM

Not enough

-Marshall 2204

- Avatar 'Marshall-style' 4x12 with G12H30/Vintage 30 mix.

-Epiphone Valve Junior 1x8 combo

I'd like to pick up a Mesa Boogie 50 Caliber Plus again or a 6-knobber Laney Pro Tube. Definitely a 1x12 tube combo in my future.

You got rid of the Elmwood? pretty sure it was you that had one of them......

clockwork green · May 23, 2013, 04:36:50 PM

Yeah I had the Modena M90. Great amp but just not what I was looking for in a high gain head. It overlapped more with my Matamp's sonically, well it sounded like them with a good overdrive in the front like my Sonic Titan. I sold it to cover my first EGC.

Chovie D · May 23, 2013, 07:30:07 PM

57 ...as in original? fender harvard

?

clockwork green · May 23, 2013, 09:02:10 PM

Yeah, it's a real '57. It's been modified decades ago to hold a 12" instead of the 10".
