As crapola as I play I need to keep the volume down as low as I can...
We all know that we are our own worst critics, I bet you play better than I do. CheersAs crapola as I play I need to keep the volume down as low as I can...
For my sake continue to hold onto them, you have some awesome gear. Cheers
Awesome amp. Played on worship team with a guy that had an AC30. He eventually downsized to an AC15. The sweet spot on the 30 was so loud he was blowing the rest of us off the stage.
I use this little tyke most of the time. 1959 Gibson GA-20T Ranger. At about 16 W it is really way too loud for living room playing, but my neighbors are old and hearing impaired, so I'm ok. I don't crank it unless I am alone in the house, and then I usually only turn it up to 4. It has two channels, one without and one with tremolo. They have slightly different tubes, and the tremolo channel is the one I use the most (without the tremolo on). The original speaker was long gone when I bought the amp, and I have put a Warehouse G12C 75W in it. The amp breaks up early. It si bright, but turning down the tone control yields a really sweet vintage bluesy rock sound. I absolutely dig it.
Sometimes I play this one as well. A 10W 1965 Gibson G-5 Skylark. I've had it modded to lower the insane treble the stock version produced, and I put a 10" Warehouse Veteran 20W speaker in it because the stock one was broken. It doesn't break up as early as the GA-20T, but is still plenty loud. Great little amp.
Both of the amps are pretty much one trick ponies, but the one trick they have is really good and suits my playing well.
I also have an early 1980s Paul Rivera-made Fender Deluxe Reverb II that is currently on loan to a co-worker, and I have a 2014 (I think) Vox AC30C2 with a 4x12 extension cabinet that I used to play with the band we had at work.
The Vox rig, with the Deluxe Reverb II in the bottom left corner. The Music Man amp on top of the Deluxe used to belong to a co-worker:
Those are some cool old amps, the Gibson looks way familiar, drummer buddy of mines Dad had a old Gibson and fender amps from the early 60’s that he let use/ubuse, I recall getting shocked with both of those amps. (I used to like playing barefoot) and my buddies dad used to tell us we had them both dialed in wrong, (we cranked them flat out to get break up)!!!

Haha, it does look huge! It's a tweed Fender cable. The photo makes it look fat.
Cranking them is the RIGHT way to use them! They have both been properly serviced, with new caps and grounded three-prong cables, so there's no danger of shock anymore.
IS the vt20x like the tone lab, with a number of different amp models, speaker cabs, and assortment of fx?
I want that amp...
I have personally never played this amp!I want that amp...
