hi i am just wondering what kind of amps people have, i think most people have fender amps here, from pics, but i know that there has to be other brands, like me, i have a vox ad100vt-xl

(factory pic)

i’ve got a marshall mg30dfx. not the greatest amp, but i’m currently saving up my money for a tube amp.

It’s been Laney or Marshall amps for me over the years.

Currently using a Laney LV300 head with a Hayden 4x12 cab.

I have an Epi Valve Jr (head and cab), a Line 6 Spider, and a Behringer 15w for guitar; a Peavey for electronic drums; and some crazy looking amp with neon green knobs from the 80s for bass.  I can’t remember its name right now.

Laney VC30 and i love it

That’s what I had before my head/cab…. what version do you have? I had the 2x10.

Borrowed pics:

and 2 of these for stereo effects:

a first generation Peavey 5150 head with 4x12

Mesa Boogie dual rectifier head with 4x12 (burgundy tolex)

and actually my current favorite is a 1x12 combo called a Studiomaster Valve Leadmaster. I think of it as a Mesa mark 2 C+ clone from England. very rare, 60 watt tube amp. and i got it for only $150. with flight case! i should have payed over 2k for it. check it out! mine is a variant, it has black tolex covering and the speaker is a bit right of center to accommodate a port hole, and has recessed side handles.

it was kind of a weird series of events/trades/accidents actually, It’s a long story involving blown output transformers, spilt mugs of coffee and bargain 4x12’s.

I’m happy with what I have now though, no regrets.

1968(?) blackface bassman, converted into a 2x10 combo by some incredibly talented gentleman i will likely never meet.

I have my two vox ac-30cc’s, vox ac-15cc, marshall jcm2000 dual super lead head, laney gh100L head, peavey 5150 combo. I have an SWR bass 4x10 half stack.  And my Vox Brian May VBM1 decey amp.

that sounds godlike… pretty sweet selection! (well i’m not a marshall guy, but still! )

hehe, good for you

anyway when i started… long story short - i built up a pretty strong relationship to Mesa’s… of course over the years my taste has changed but i’d still buy mesa over marshall any time

i personally don’t have any opinion what is best there is too much cool stuff to decide and i personally don’t even see any reason to decide

I have a Peavey Valveking 2x12 with Avatar Hellatone 60L’s and JJ tubes all around.  These small changes were completely necessary for me!  I also have a Vox AC4TV combo, which continues to blow my mind!

i also forgot to mention that i have a really small ibanez amp. i think its an ibz10g or something like that. and i also have a small crate amp. i don’t use either one anymore and i’m probably going to sell them soon.

For messing around at home on guitar, I’ve got the vox DA5, which is a really fun little practice amp with lotsa digital effects that actually sound pretty good.

For band practice I run my fretless bass into a Sunn Coliseum Lead (I just got the reverb and tremelo fixed and they sound killer) into a Hartke 1X15 and 2X10 bass cabs with aluminum cones. My drummer hits pretty hard, and I still haven’t had to take the thing over 2.
