surfpup Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 My Peavey Classic VT Series. Now that takes me back! When I was first learning to play guitar in high school we had one of those for the jazz band. Freakin' loud, clean, and tight as I recall.

Tman5293 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 I play all of my guitars through a Fender Hot Rod DeVille 212. Great amp. One of the best tube amps under $1000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPguitarman Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Now that takes me back! When I was first learning to play guitar in high school we had one of those for the jazz band. Freakin' loud, clean, and tight as I recall. Yes, but even better when I replaced the factory speakers with Peavey Scorpions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awel Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Currently, I am using an Orange Tiny Terror 15W head through a Palmer Box loaded with 2 Celestion Vintage 30, set as clean sound just about to break and I use a Xotic BB preamp for dirty sound sometime coupled with a Maxon od808, sounds perfect as with the Les Paul Custom as with the Strat or the Tele. My second set up that I am thinking to sell is a Marshall JVM-410 Head, that is really good as well but, 4 channels each with 3 modes, it is useless for my kind of music (blues rock, classic rock) and ... it is 100W really too much, I 'll have to play at 2 on master volume with it. I'am relly interrested on this one, the Michael Landau inspired by Fender Hot Rod Deville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valeriy Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I never had a combo (or the like) and a specific amp to my guitar. My friends scolded me for that sometimes. I hope you will not do so :) . But I always have two good (similar) amps (as usual Hi-Fi), one of them for music and a second just includes special capacitors to get a nice guitar sound. By the way, here I already recommended one preamp for electric guitar, now this is my main guitar preamp that I use. Who can work with a soldering iron, I think, he would be pleased with this preamp for guitar, its circuit at the end of the thread: http://forum.gibson.com/index.php?/topic/66536-analog-consoles/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saturn Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 I currently own 3 amps. For big gigs I play through my 100W Carvin Legacy. For smaller gigs or jams I use my 30W Roland Blues Cube. And for practice at home I have a little Yamaha THR10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izzy Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 These threads are always good for someone like me who has 3 okay amps. I can't handle something that will break my back but I'd love a high quality little amp. I have : VOX AC4 (high gain at low volumes) VOX Pathfinder (because it just seems good to have a garage solid state you can be a kid with...it was free and I sound like a punk totally legit) Blackheart 3/5 Little Giant (lots of headroom, sounds good to my ears...but not as good as others) Not the cream by a mile...good to see what you all use.

chewy60 Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 i'm a big fan of the sweet, tube-distortion sounds produced by the clean/rhythm channel of a carvin x-100b turned all the way up. my neighbors, not so much.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fromnabulax Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I play completely undistorted and as cleanly as possible. I love the pure unadulterated sounds of a well built warm sounding guitar, so depending on where I am playing I might be using a Roland Blues Cube 'Stage' or a smaller Laney Cub tube combo. I have a Crate 120 combo that I'll pull out from time to time if the need arises. A distorted Les Paul sounds great through that one. When I give lessons I tote around a tiny Vox 5 watt solid state amp. If I expect harsh weather conditions or a particularly rowdy crowd I bring along a nice economical Fender Mustang III For amplified acoustic work I have a pair of Fishman Loudbox amps. I have the Mini and I have the Performer. I have a few others as well like a small Fender Tremolo from the mid 70s that makes any Telecaster sound like a zillion bucks, but this is a Gibson page.

Ryan H Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 The only proper amp I currently own; a 1983 Marshall JCM 800 2204, through a fairly affordable 2x12 cab with a WGS Vet 30 and ET65. -Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlwwalker Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 2010 Gibson ES-335 Satin Black played through a Mesa Boogie Express 5:25 1x10. Very versatile. It's a LOT of fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaiser Bill Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 For most gigs I use a Genz Benz AC150. Its a 1X12 amp with 150 watts of power when you plug two instruments into it or 75 watts if you only use one side. Usually I play steel and 6 string through it. Great bank of effects and only weighs 23 lbs. For outside gigs or concerts, I use a Fender Hot Rod DeVille. It does a great job. Been using it for 9 years...no complaints. I've sold all my other amps. I still have my 42 yr old GBX Super Bug, but I never use it anymore. Its earned retirement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valtyr Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 I play my Les Paul through a Marshall JVM1h or a Bogner Shiva (depending on how loud I want to be). I usually have either head running through a Mesa 2x12 cab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
