What is your favorite amp?

[Session 5]

I will start, its my Orange Crush 35RT SS. I like the sounds I can get from this small amp, a good quality build, has the 10 inch World speaker, which gives out some nice tones. The thing has blast for its size and handles itself quite well in the volume end of it . And isn't a back breaker , if you want to move it around.

My favorite amp on Stage is my Marshall SV20H and SV212 Cab with Greenbacks

At home it must be my JTM1 Offset amp with 1*12 Greenback.

For live use, I just cant beat the tube sound from the Marshall DSL40C'Ss. I have two of them.

The 'Modern' trimmed amp uses a WGS 50 Watt Reaper 55Hz speaker and ECC823/ECC83S/ECC83MG/5751 tube loadout.

The 'Vintage' uses an Electro-Harmonix 12VR 75 watt speaker and 7025WA/5751/7025WA/5751 tube loadout.

These two amps can do anything and are still light and small enough to fit into the trunk of my car.

For larger venues, I use my 1984 Jackson 4x12 cabinet loaded with Jackson/Eminence Legends...

Since I do gigs on my own, I use the Fishman loudbox which makes it handy with the P.A.

Fender Pro Junior. I love simple. It doesn't get much simpler than the Pro Junior, one volume control, one tone control. Set the volume at 1:00 and the tone at noon. Adjust guitar tone and volume to match the song.

Right now it's been the jcm900 4100 with 3L34 mod with a 1960A cab

These are a couple of my favorites

I don't own it anymore, but I had an old Guyatone GA440S that to me had as much tone, vibe, mojo, etc as any amp I ever owned. It was a push pull 6BM8 tube amp with tube tremolo/reverb. It had two odd ball 7"ish sized alnico speakers.

My favorite amp could be several amps, really. If I am to base my choice on what I have played myself, I guess two amps tie for first place. One of the sweetest tones I have ever heard was when I played a Gibson Custom Shop SG through a Milkman 15W Harmonic Tremolo amp at the guitar store Vintage Guitar in Oslo last April. The amp is based on a brownface Fender Princeton. Nice and early breakup, just damn sweet. It ties with my 1959 Gibson GA-20T Ranger. 14 watts of pure blues rock bliss. It breaks up early enough to ALMOST work as a living room amp. So naturally I play it in my living room... I guess it sounds pretty close to a tweed Fender Deluxe. I also really dig my (modded) 1965 Gibson GA-5 Skylark.

Favorite amp is my '82 Marshall JCM800 4104. Aka: "The Guinea Pig"! Seriously molested and modified by yours truly...

 

[Cadorman]

My current favorite is this 1990 JCM900 2100 MKIII head. The clipping diodes have all been removed and the preamp has been modded to mimic a JCM800 2203, but still uses the second gain pot. It go from clean to pretty nasty now.
The A cab is a TRM pine closed back cab that I finished and has 4 Greenbacks. The B cab has 2 Greenbacks on top and 2 vintage 30's on the bottom.

I'm fickle...
My favorites change, but Mesa has captured my ear for the last dozen or so years.
Marshall is in the running as well.
My favorite at this time in life is a Mesa RectoVerb 25 combo.
It allows me to make the noise that amuses me.
I was also a huge fan of an Ampeg VH140C combo that I had for years.
Crushing tone with an in your face grind and insane harmonics, but it had issues and was turned loose to the wolves, never to be seen again.

Right now my dance card is 4 Marshalls, 1 Mesa, 1 Bogner, and a Boss Katana 50.

 

[Stratstrangler]

This has to be my favorite. Heck, if you only have one amp, (I do) it has to be the favorite.
It's an Orange Dark Terror with the matching PPC112 with the all important V30 speaker.
