I'm hoping KSG buys one, then I can meet him in Lake Charles at a friends place for a 2 day Jam session, Crawfish/Shrimp/Crab boil with all the extras and borrow it! Bwahahahahaha.

Riffster Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 My amps are: My new Mesa 5:25 Express Head and 3/4 back cabinet with a Celestion c90 Modded Epi Valve Junior Head and 1x12 cabinet (added and effects loop) The Champ 600 Head I made and its 1x12 cabinet with a Weber Blue Dog Peavey Classic 30 which I plan on selling since I just bought the Mesa, so no new amps for a while. Almost forgot I have a Behringer GX108 SS for practice, it is a P.O.S. the only thing that saves it is that it has a CD input so I can run my Boss Micro BR through it. That makes it very ideal for practice since the Micro BR has effects, MP3 capability and drum machine. So I use that amp as a dummy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milod Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 .... Well, from 1960s rock band experience, I'd note I'm not all that turned on by the Bandmaster. I was using a Delux Reverb at the time and it handled fine even with the Bandmaster and big Bassman Fenders. I really wish I had that old Delux Reverb, though. A perfect little amp that was plenty loud for its day even in a pretty big auditorium. In the first rock band, the early 60s brought high school kids like us some odd choices due to economics. Ever see a Silvertone from that era with the amp as part of the case? I understand somebody's doing reissues. Horrid, really. The kid with some sort of solid body (I really don't remember which, but it wasn't a Fender or Gibson) and a Gibson-labeled amp that looked like an old suitcase actually got presentable sound. I observed but was doing brass until my first summer out of high school and a commitment to learning guitar. Currently I still have an 120-watt Aims Dual Twelve, a 70s piece that was one-up on the twin. It still sounds good, but it's way to heavy for an old guy to haul around. I dumped the Fender Leslie that weighed just as much. The little amp that gets the most use is a little 30-watt Kustom acoustic amp I put into a suitcase carrier frame with wheels. The multi-effect box and Boss Leslie emlator sit on top for travel. It's maybe 35 pounds or so all told with a power strip bungied onto it. The little amp does well enough for a solo gig to a 5-600 seat auditorium or in a 100 seat saloon without any growl, and I can move it easily. Frankly the little Kustom was an economic choice based on parameters to basically duplicate the Delux Reverb in an inexpensive, under 40-pound box. I can run guitar and effects in one channel and a mike through a separate channel and it's enough for a small or even a solo sorta jazz or acoustic gig in a theater-type setting. The big Aims (nope, no longer built, so thank heaven it's almost bullet-proof) actually is that basic concept supersized and with a few more frew-fraws. Back to the Bandmaster and Bassman heads of the 60s. With four 10-inch speakers in cabs they didn't really have that much going for them in comparison to the Twin that I consider a better choice. It has more guts, really. It's also easier to haul. OTOH, the Delux is lighter, punches far beyond its apparent power and has some good options for a 40+ year old design, especially for small/medium solo venues. Oh, why nothing Gibson? Easy. I haven't even seen a Gibson/Epi amp for sale, new or used, in 40 years off and on of looking at amps in music stores in this region. But it's kinda sparse where I live.

canon_mutant Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 I got rid of all my high power HEAVY stuff [bad back] mostly Peavey and Fender stuff and misc. pedals in recent years and now just own a Krank Rev Jr. Pro and a Boss GT-10. I absolutely love this little head. And I use at least 10% of that GT-10's capability but the two make a wonderful throw in the truck and go rig. My higher wattage shortlist now is: BlackStar Series One if they ever start shipping the frankin things Carvin Legacy II Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saturn Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 I have 4 amps, but for practical purposes only 2. My B52 AT6212 and Vox AD50VT. I love the B52 when it's working right. Especially the Clean channel! Hangs with any Fender IMO. Sometimes it farts out on me though. I plan to change tubes soon and hopefully that fixes it. The vox is a nice little practice amp and I let another guy use it for some gigs too. IMO, it's not too usefull for changing tones mid-song. You pretty much have to pick a tone and stay with it all song. If you set it right though, you can go from a pretty clean to nice overdrive just using your guitar's volume. I also have an old beat up, scratchy (both sight and sound) Fender practice amp that just sits under a bed. Plus a Fender Stage that stays in our drummers basement. We run keyboards thru it at band practices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
