    New era for solid state amps

    With the recent shortage of tubes, I've been wondering if this could perhaps spur amp companies to get more innovative with solid state amps? I don't know if there's a lot of purists in these companies regarding tubes, but considering the lack of sheer quantity regarding tubes, I think it would...

    Any love for OLD SCHOOL solid state amps?

    Thought this could be a fun thread, though I'm not sure how much traction it will get around here, but why not give it a shot. So who here has a thing for vintage solid state amps? I'm talking early Peavey, Plush, Earth, kustom (the older ones), Traynor, Sunn, Acoustic Control Corp. etc. I'm...

    NAD: another old doom machine

    Decided to hit up the pawn shop a few blocks from my house since I hadn't been there in a while. They had this Acoustic 370 stashed away with all the PA equipment. Didn't have a tag on it, so I asked how much they wanted for it and they told me $100. Aside from the writing on the front (should...

    Any ideas on where to source old amp parts?

    Forgive me if this would fit better in the gear & equipment sub (mods can feel free to move it if so) So a couple months ago I ended up scoring a silverface Sunn Concert Lead (silverface version with 2 channels and the red knobs). I picked it up from a lady who said it belonged to her ex...

    Tube watts vs. solid state watts, and help me redo my bass rig

    Alright, so now that I'm playing bass in a band full time I feel like it's time to seriously invest in some bass gear. Right now I'm playing a sqire affinity p/j through a Peavey mkIV into a 2x15 loaded with eminence betas. I'm happy with my cab, but I'd like to upgrade my head to something all...

    Please help me determine what's wrong with my amp.

    I've owned a solid state peavey vypyr 100 watt 2x12 for 5 or 6 years and I've never had a problem with it. For years I just ran it with a distortion on the clean channel but I've recently switched to an evh 5150 OD. I have the boost engaged on the pedal which isn't extremely distorted like my...

    Randall rg 150 watt head vs 2x12 150 watt combo?

    I'm looking into buying a new amp. I definitely want the Randall. I'm only looking for a 2x12, something that sounds good at bedroom and band settings. Im not sure if I want to buy the head and a 2x12 to hook it up to or just buy the 2x12 combo. The settings are exactly the same as far as I see...

    Dv Mark Dv Micro 50 M

    Here's my quick review. I'm following up on this after having more time and trying more things. Here's my take. I was using a Lopo Line cabinet with 10" Eminence Ragin Cajun. Reverb It's better than some but really just passable. Effect Loop This amp benefits from the effects loop...

    Marshall Valvestate 8100, yay or nay?

    Hey there, as a 90s metal tone nostalgic and long time Death super fan, I'm used to an ongoing GAS for the above mentioned valvestate 8100, always fading and coming back from year to year since forever. Which leads me to the compulsive search for one every time it strikes. Internet pic for...

    Any Hughes and Kettner Grandmeister Deluxe 40 users?

    Hey guys, just wanted to get some quick input from all y'all. I'm mostly a bedroom guitarist these days and have found myself a nice little amp to play with, a Yamaha THR10X. It's a pretty great little practice amp and I've even used it to play some bedroom jam sessions. I used to own a Boss...

    Slaving a SS amp into another SS?

    So, I've been thinking of doing this for a while but wanted to get some input on it beforehand to see if it's even possible. I've got a Randall RG100SC combo, It's amazing for my purposes and I love it to death. I've heard before of people 'slaving' an amp into another one, with the most famous...

    Hello everyone!! I'm on that magical quest for the best sound!! I really want something that is in your face, yet still clear, with a great low end that isn't muddy or fuzzy. Michael Keens sound with The Faceless would be ideal if it can be recreated in a solid state form. If any one has a...

    Hello Everyone at SSO! While my collection grows ever larger, I finally remembered to put together a NGD post for my latest acquisition. The free agent in question: a Carvin ST4000. 200W of solid state power packed into a somewhat compact headshell. The head itself is certainly smaller than...
