charlie brown Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Lots of great amps, out there. But, my consistant favorite (over the last 46 years), has been the Fender Twin Reverb! Deluxe Reverb, and Super Reverb would be close seconds. CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djroge1 Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 This one that I built. It's based off of a Fender Princeton Tweed but it has a high/low boost and I'm running it with a 12" speaker instead of a 10" that the princetons have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Nahum Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 It sort of depends. The Deluxe Reverb is ideal for practice and rehearsals. The Vibrolux Reverb (I had to look twice at that picture of a Vibrolux non-reverb) is great for medium gigs and the Pro Reverb is right for larger gigs. The Henriksen JazzAmp is great when I need to get somewhere without a car. And I have a homebrew 5E3 but I'm not sure what to do with it yet.

EVOL! Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Victoria 35115 OK, maybe not my all time favorite, but I have had the pleasure of using one of these at a show. Deliciously bright with plenty of sweet highs from a 15" combo? Hell yes. This is one handwired beauty. The one I played was not tweed, more of an oatmeal colored tolex.

Twiz Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 I like my vintage Kustom K-100. I think Mesa Boogie Mark IV's are cool too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cabba2203 Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 I haven't had a combo in a long time (last one was a Fender Twin Reverb) but I just got one of those Jet City 20watt 1x12 combos. Not bad, it got delivered a couple of days ago. Sounds pretty good so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Californiaman Posted August 10, 2010 Author Share Posted August 10, 2010 While my Fender '57 Deluxe is a great amp. Killer 6V6 clean tones. Touch sensitivity. Loud as hell. I do enjoy my Fender Two-Tone Amp with the dual speaker configuration (10"x12") in a larger solid pine box, EL-84 Blues Jr. circuit, and reverb. The fat switch is an added bonus in that it really gives the amp a sonic boost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Plains Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 I also don't really like combos because I find they tend to rattle more than head/cabs, which drives me crazy. That said, I really want a Marshall Bluesbreaker!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milod Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Biggest mistake I ever made was swapping the Deluxe Reverb in the mid '70s for this big twin-speaker 120-watter I have right now that never leaves the house 'cuz I don't need the power nor the strained muscles. The company (AIMS) doesn't exist now, but I'll tell you, it's a helluva great amp for a band in about any size venue and it's aok as a solo amp 'cuz you can even run a mike through a separate channel - and it was designed for that. I dunno, never had any problem making enough noise for the era with the DR - and that included a mid 60s' big auditorium show. Of course the audience expectations weren't what they are now. But even nowadays, it could be miked and still give me sound I like. It even works as that solo mike and guitar function in a small saloon or coffeehouse gig. Alas... I now have a little 10-inch speaker 30-watt Kustom acoustic amp that is incredibly versatile for small solo gigs and even for recording my practice sessions. Separate channels for mike and guitar. In a way it's my favorite. I don't really know if I'd use a DR as much overall nowadays since it doesn't have that "line-out" option - and I don't need anywhere near the amount of sound anywhere I've played lately. In fact, I'm not sure I'd not just as soon run the little Kustom even a PA in a bigger joint though it's SS 'stedda tube if I were in a group; I'd struggle with the big mamajamma if it were a solo gig somewhere big if they didn't have a decent house pa. I think with just a 12-inch speaker for a little more lows, the Kustom would make it as is with my multi-effect box added mostly for thickness. I've used it in a solo situation in a 500-plus size theater stage environment and never turned it anywhere near half way... m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
