Dave da Dude Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 Jim K, Now I mostly play through modelers, and mostly the vintage Marshall model. I tried the Line 6 Flextone II while auditioning a Les Paul Standard. I liked the Marshall model the best too. First amp, 1970?, stereo with piece of crap acoustic guitar and piece of crap sound hole pickup. Two three-way, with 12" woofer, speakers. Second amp, 1984?, (new) Roland Jazz Chorus 55 Watt with Chorus, 2 x 10. I still have it, and I still like it, but.... Third amp, 2002, 1993 Randall Tube Pro II, 2 x 12. It's 50 watts, tube with 6L6 / EL34 bias switching, 1/3 power switch and channel switching. Channel 'B' with high gain is awesome. I still find out something new each time I play with this. I couldn't live without a tube amp now that I have one. I haven't bought nearly as many amps as axes. I'm not sure it that's bad or good. Dave Gotta' geetar... got the amp. There must be SOMEthing else I... "need". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to get more amps.Jeez, I'm in trouble. I got no working electrics, but, six acoustics, (six & twelve string & resonator) a banjo, a mandolin, a basket case/project (used to be archtop) resonator & a Guyatone basket case electric with one lone guitar amp. I guess I gotta go out & get six or seven more amps. Our Joint "When you come slam bang up against trouble, it never looks half as bad if you face up to it." The Duke...

Bobbo Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 I remember my first amp well. A Silvertone amp and a Silvertone guitar. I think the guitar was made by Danelectro, but don't know who made the amp. Now that I think back, I don't even remember what happened to either one. Wish I still had them though. I've gone through a few amps since then. To name a few..Peavey Musician w/410 cabinet, Traynor Mark 5 w/same cabinet, Line 6 AXSYS 212,and I now use a Fender all tube Pro Reverb. I guess I enjoy the Pro Reverb the most, but I wish I hadn't sold the Traynor. It was a great amp. I had Dan Torres do a Texas Special mod on it.

gtrmac Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 I was one of the lucky ones. My first amp was a brand new 1964 Fender Vibrolux Reverb. My Dad bought it for me that year. He liked electric guitar and wanted a good amp. I also got a '64 Telecaster with money from a summer job. Mac Bowne G-Clef Acoustics Ltd.

69tele Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 Mine was an 8watt "Badger" when I was 13 similiar to one of these Gorillas. It sucked big time ! I still amazed how I used it for most of my school years for performances even in big halls. I did have a 1969 Telecaster Thou ! http://www.eazi-k.com/69t.jpg Ernie If in doubt leave it Out !

revolead Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 Can't say I've got much of an amp history. I started with a Peavey Blazer 158, which was a great SS beginner amp, but I needed more volume for band practice. Traded that in and paid the difference for a Bandit 112, the amp I still have a year later. Sorry guys, not much history for someone who's only been playing 2 years. Does it count for anything that I want a Marshall DSL401? Still need a job. Shut up and play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
