What Amp Manufacturer Do You Own ??

darrenw5094

No polls here in a while. Here is a new one.

What amp brand do you own? If you have more than one, then select the one that you favour most in your collection. I am being nosey, but we could find out what the most popular brand is here on boards.

Atari Jaguar

Have a Marshall G series, before the MG came out, that I really should upgrade. looking at the HT5 at the moment but waiting to see what else I could picck up.

Then my Ashdown 2x10 Mag 300 for bass which is much nicer.

Ravelleman

Hughes & Kettner

I has teh ENGL Thunder.

Doctor J

Only choose one? No can do

Ampeg VH140C for guitar, Fender Bassman 4x10 for guitar and Ashdown ABM300 with a compact 1x15 and 2x10 for bass.

Fender Bassman 4x10......

Can i have it?!?........
I've got two fenders, Blues Deluxe, and a champ 600.

Blackhorse Slim

Mesa Boogie

Fender Blues Jr., lightweight, great tone and easily upgradeable.

ClutchIt

I have two Rolands but they're missing from the poll. Horrible oversight by the poll maker. I mean what are we coming to at all. I'm shocked.

And my Blackheart is missing... BURN HIM!!!!

I don't own any amp manufacturer. I own some amps, it's a bit different. :rolleyes:

I have a Genz Benz Shuttle 6.0 with 2x10 cab for my bass and also a Roland Microcube for my guitar.

EDIT: No Genz-Benz but Marshall MG got its own selection??! :mad:

Peavey

Sorry people......boards only let me have a maximum of 25.
I had to put the Marshall MG in a class of it's own because then MG owners would be selecting Marshall as well as the Marshall valve guys. We couldn't have that now.

Sorry, forgot Roland for the cubes etc. (please, buy a new amp).
Any other amps not on the list......choose the Atari option. The sound from that one is up there with the best. Sparkling cleans and savage overdrive. Must do your own effects though.

I did have the option of giving voters more than one vote, but i thought against that one. Maybe next time.

Orange Rocker 30 and Fender Blues Deluxe. Previously had a Roland JC120, Engl Screamer and a Peavey Classic 50

Hey GStorm,

I think I'm just about to splash on a Rocker 30 myself, am looking into the Classic 30/Classic 50 alternatively, would you rate the Rocker 30 way ahead of the Classic?

Any major pros or cons from either worth mentioning? Cheers.


Oh and for the record I've currently got a solid state Fender Deluxe Plus 112.

So this should be a serious upgrade for me

Personally I prefer the Rocker but thats because it can do some great distortion/overdrive and the natural channel breaks up nicely at higher volumes. The classic wont do quite as much distortion but they are a great amp for blues and classic rock. It depends what sound you're after. The classic 50 wasn't miles away from my blues deluxe. The blues deluxe is a great amp as well. Best you can do is try and play both amps before deciding.

BTW:
Rocker - 30W
Blues Deluxe - 40W
Classic- 50W

I like the lower wattage. It still goes way louder than I need but its easier to saturate the tubes at lower volumes. Master volume works wonders on the Rocker as well and doesn't kill the tone like other amps. Much easier to get great sounds at lower volumes. Couldn't get much out of the classic without cranking it too high but the 30W would prob be better.

Demeyes

Hughes & Kettner

At the moment I've got

Engl E530 preamp
Laney GH50L
Peavey Bandit 112

I went with the ENGL as it's the nicest sounding of my stuff.

I am an Ashdown man. I have two. One is the ashdown mag 300, and the other is the abm 500 combo 2x10 with an ashdown compact 1x15 extension cab. I think I should be due endorsement privileges. :pac:

I'm on a fender princeton at the moment. Had an old valvestate Marshall that I loved till it blew up.

Not sure what to get now. Although I have way too much gear at the moment I think I'll wait till I have a goog clearout before I buy anything else

8k2q1gfcz9s5d4

Marshall MG (a range all by itself)

Vox AD100VT with a boss ME50 before the amp. The main reason i use the me50 is to store a really heavy tone, can only have three stored on the amp. Great amp for clean and crunch.

Matamp

Just two modelers for me as all I do is noodle around at home.

Line 6 Spider Jam and Roland Micro Cube.

Is that a Princeton Reissue?

If so, I've been thinking about buying one. What do you think of yours?

Not a reissue, pretty old. It's got a really nice tone, but a couple of things annoy me, the reverb doesn't work (common fault) and costs 60 quid a time to get fixed so I just got a reverb pedal and it's volume is strange, it's either 'loud' or off. there's no happy medium

I was about to post the same thing. I wouldn't mind owning Peavey, never mind a Peavey amp!

The two amp brands that I own also aren't in the poll. I have a Carlsbro bass amp and a Behringer guitar amp. Someday maybe I'll be good enough and Santa Claus will bring me a Mesa Boogie or an Engl...

Up until recently it was a Matamp 1224mkII and two Laneys- an LC30 and its little brother the LC15.
I let the LC30 go last week for a pittance to a good friend (a friend who deals is a friend indeed:pac:) and I'll be doing the same with the LC15 at the weekend.

Ah right. So is that one of the solidstate Princetons then???

They did a reissue of the '65 Princeton Reverb and thats the one I was looking at. It sounds damn nice!

I have a Mesa LSS 1 x 12 combo luvvy luvvy luvvy, a Matamp First Lady 7 watt head switchable between an EL34 and a 6L6 which powers a Mongotone 2 x 10 cab and finally a Marshall 30th Anni 100 watt head and a Marshal Lead 2 x 12 cab.

If I was forced to keep only one it would be the Mesa LSS (but I would track down the person doing the forcing and kill them)

My trusty old Mesa Dual Recto. It's an older two channel one though, not the newer 3 channel head. I think it sounds better though! More crunchy. That through a Marshall 1960A cab.

High-five!:D

Most versatile amp I've ever had the pleasure of playing. 4 Channels, each with low and high gain settings, which are all voiced very differently. Incredible array of tones, and just one of the best sounding amps I've ever heard.

lethal dose

Mesa Boogie

Had a Marshall TSL602
Now have a Fender Hot Rod Delux retubed and rebiased down to about 30 watts. Pretty decent allrounder for me.

I have an old Peavey 30w practice amp that I bought 20 years ago. Its gain is pretty crunchy which has always suited my style.
