FredZepp Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 WELCOME to the HOC, BLS. You certainly show some awesome amps. That Orange amp is just a Tangerine amp Dream... And I know that the Engl must seriously rock. But I must also add that H150CM has an incredible top. And just a sweet vintage look. nice find there.... and now back to the amps....

mnjordan Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Just one amp for me. My 2003 Two Rock Opal: I swoon every time I turn it on. Hopefully, it will pairing up with a 575 very soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hubberjub Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I need a Two Rock. Good luck on your quest for a 575. What are you playing currently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hubberjub Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I have dumbed down my rig considerably in the last few months. I use to gig with a Pedaltrain Pro HC running into my Mesa Maverick. Here's a pic of the board minus several pedals which I took off when I was recording. Now I'm down to my DuhVoodooMan Compressor>Lovepedal Eternity>Planet Waves Tuner>TC Electronic Modulator>Boss DD-20 going into the front of my Soldano Astroverb. Twenty watts of great tone.

Steiner Posted November 24, 2009 Author Share Posted November 24, 2009 mnjordan - You're going to play a 575 through a high-gain amp??? Good Man!

mnjordan Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 I need a Two Rock. Good luck on your quest for a 575. What are you playing currently? I play a 2003 BRW Gibson R6, a Custom Built Strat, and an American Standard Strat. My pedalboard currently. It's going through some changes: Two Rock!? OMG! We are NOT worthy! I'm not worthy either!! I spy some lefty geetars with that towering stack ... ? Yes sir. Lefties unite! mnjordan - You're going to play a 575 through a high-gain amp??? Good Man! They LOVE that action This Two-Rock can certainly dial up some gainy Dumble tones, but its clean channel is just jaw dropping. I have never heard anything like it. I can't wait to get my big Heritage and let these two play together! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tsp17 Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 575-Mahogany with Benedetto B6 into: 1. '65 Twin Reverb Reissue 2. Jazzkat TwinKat 3. '65 Deluxe Reverb Reissue in that order of preference. Twin is head and shoulders my favorite. got a great deal on craigslist, so it was actually the least expensive of the three.

Wolfi Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 I changed me gear: I know use a HOOK Captain Amp with two 1 x 12 Marshall Cabs (V 30) or two 4 x 12 Marshall Cabs (V 30) www.hookamps.com I use pedals as follows: EHX Holier Grail, xotic BB preamp, xotic ac booster, Line 6 DL 4 (Keeley mod.), Line 6 MM 4 (Keeley mod.), MXR Dynacomp (mod.), Cry Baby Wah (mod.) with Lehle and Voodo Lab power supplies. The whole system is controlled by a gigrig switcher, no midi. www.thegigrig.com The whole pedalboard wiring was done by tonehunter in Cologne (www.tonehunter.com) a very professional company (The owner, Ralf Reichen produced two St. Petersburg Amps for Jimmy Page some years ago). If I wanna drive everything stereo, I use a Seymour Duncan Convertible Head as the second Amp. Than both amps are gigrig controlled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteiscool1 Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 I am a big fan of heritage guitars through all tube fenders. I have a hot rod deluxe and, even though it is not necessarily the loudest amp out there, it has a really great tone that sounds great with heritages. I play a 1990s black h-157. It's my ideal setup.

rjsanders Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 got a visit from Bill Chapin, Mike Roberto, & a couple other friends the past couple of evenings. amps were amazing - one-off Krinard take on a Trainwreck Express that Bill got & mod'd even mo' better (IMHO) - two one-off Krinards that one friend commissioned to do various aspects of David Lindley Dumble sounds - one friend cranked a Swart AST - i held down bass w/my '87 Heritage through a Heritage Colonial set to run as Plexi Superbass and more but am pleased to say i really dig my one-off PaulC Funky Monkey, which i set up w/5881s and a rebias (& i got it a a steal) good times!

BMG Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 I run a FUCHS Black Jack 21 head through one of Andy's mini 1X12 cabinets. Killer tone on its own. I just recently was turned on to creation audio lab's clean boost MK 4.23 WOW! What a difference. I also run their Holy Fire as a drive and Andy's Plush pedal to dial in a Robben Ford type tone. Very happy right now and am still tweaking (as always) But so far very happy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnieboy2 Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 I'm using mostly a '57 Fender Tweed Deluxe Custom Shop RI, no reverb which I really like, but I guess my best amp at present is this Heritage Colonial head and 2x12 slant cabinet in matching creamsicle tolex, loudest 50 watt tube amp I've ever heard. Currently using EL34's but it does the 6L6 thing really well too. Just sold my Heritage gits, but I'll probably get another soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smurph1 Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 heh, right, you can't beat an old tele!! one of the best sounds I have ever got ( that's blues talk ) was a cranked hiwatt DR103 thru an old fane 4x12, using a beatup white tele....I saw God that day too...I think God likes telecasters, haha that's why HE had Leo invent them..

mark555 Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 I play a fender 40w Hotrod DeLuxe, it was as new condition a few years back (still is) but half the cost of a new one. I wanted the Blues deluxe but was broke so I made do with what was affordable and continue to do so. It's a good amp and typical Fender, loud enough for any gig and blows your SS 100w into oblivion in a volume competition. ( was in a band where the other guitarist had a 100w marshall solid state that could not come close) I never seem to use it any louder than volume setting six even at a decent size gig. I have a 15 w Marshall practice amp which I am not impressed with as far as quality go's, it will soon be replaced with a Fender Blues Junior. When I have some money to spend, I shall be buying a Matamp 40W head ( Extremely loud for a 40w because of the way Matamp measure their volume, will compete with a 100 w easily) and cab to go with it. Fantastic hand built quality, marine plywood cases, totally hand built, hard wired amps that will equal and beat any of the Mesa and other high end amps for less than half the price. I have played through these amps and they are as good as anything there is. Check their website out, much of what they make gets to you guys in the states. I have been to the workshop several times and seen them being built. Buy one of those and you have an amp for life. Andy Powell of Wishbone Ash uses two of them on stage, when I saw him a year or two back his tone was to die for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
