MojoRedFoot Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Mine was actually some Yamaha bass amp. I didn't really know (I was 13) better and the guy at the store didn't really educate me. It worked fine for the several years I had it. I don't remember what model. I just remember it was a 1x12 speaker with very basic controls: Vol, mid, bass, treb.

rjay777 Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 A Montgomery Wards amp with an 8 inch speaker. I had it for years until one day I picked it up, the handle broke off and the amp fell to the floor exploding into a million pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigKahune Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 When I purchased my first electric guitar, an amp went with the deal. The guitar was a 1965 Melody Maker and the amp a 1964 Gibson Explorer GT18. All for $60, purchased in 1974. Sold the amp off years ago. Still got the guitar.

Do you ever wish you had kept the amp and sold off the guitar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cabba2203 Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Very first amp was a Gorilla practice amp, I think it had an 8" or 10" speaker in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djroge1 Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 My first amp I think was a Kay that my mom bought for me at a garage sale. What I consider my first real amp was a 50w peavey classic. I don't have either of those amps. Although, I know who has the peavey and we are still friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lungimsam Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Peavy Backstage amp, I think it was called. Sounded great with my first electric guitar - Fender Lead III. This was around 1981? The amp had a distortion channel and a phaser knob I think. It was a cool amp. 8" speaker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevef Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 First amp was a '66 "store bramd" 15" 50 watt solid state bought at Terminal Music 48th st NYC. (Across from Manny's) Didn't last long 2 or 3 months. Got my money back went across the street to Manny's and bought a used Fender '65 Tremolux. Still have the speaker box. Amp head was "disappeared" sometime in around 1971. I do wish I had the Amp Head.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milod Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Fender Deluxe Reverb. Swapped some 10 years later for the big mamma jamma 120-watt tube jobbie I still have and almost never use 'cuz it's too $%@#$%@#$%@ big and heavy for me to consider hauling it any fun at all. Yeah, I wish I still had the DR. The monster is a great amp, but for all-around purposes I still think the DR is about the best tube type ever... The real weakness to the DR is that of most older tube amps, I think. No real "line out" or "earphone" type of output. But back then nobody thought of such stuff really. I think "we" tend to get too much into power and not enough into general sound heard by an audience whether we're going solo or in an ensemble. Which is why I keep thinking more nowadays about PA stuff... m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bschory Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 It was a little Crate 15W SS practice amp with a 12" speaker. I have it around in case someone comes over and needs to borrow an amp to jam on. It's probably going to be sold the next time I buy an amp.
