Your Amp History

[13point9]

Squier 10w

Crate GT 212

Randall RH-50T with oversized Celesetion 4x12, Head blew than had a horrible fuzz on the clean channel...

Line 6 Spider III into the 4x12

Line 6 into a Laney 2x12 for Halls

Now back to the Randall into the 4x12 with a G Major and other pedals helping out, gotta say im actually enjoying it now, all the fuzz etc has gone, although its a lot harder to get a new tone/ effects... but I've only had this rig a month and its a whole new ball game trying to set up CC channels

For bass its a bit simpler

Starfire 20w

Laney RGB 500 with a Boss ME-50b

and getting an Ashdown MAG 300 full stack in a couple months

 

[pantera95]

Fender 10 watt practise amp - Came in one of those starter kits, still have it actually.

Roland cube 30

Bugera 333xl - When it died, i got a full refund and baught

Framus Cobra

Not much but i'm sure they'll be more amps on that list in the future.

 

[Ericbrujo]

Here it goes:

1- Squier practice amp (part of a ''starter pack'', it suck big time)

2- Marshall MG 1x10 30w (it was a decent amp)

3- Randall RG200 head (Good amp but a little Muddy)

4- 6 space Rack {POD PRO, Mosvalve power amp, BBe sonic maximizer & EQ} (Not bad but it did not cut through the mix with the band, and it was heavy)

5- Mesa Nomad 55 head (Very good amp but it didn't have the volume or tone that i was looking for, maybe what was missing was an OD pedal)

6- Peavey 5150 (Traded the MESA for the 5150 and hands down this is the best amp i have ever owned)


Cabs:

1- Behringer 4x12 (it was an OK cab)

2- Carvin 4x12 (a little better than the Behringer)

3- Marshall 1960BV (the cab of my dreams)

 

[Double A]

First amp was a Fender Bullet that I still use to practice with at home.

Second amp was a Peavey Ultra with a Peavey Ultra 4x12.

Third and current amp is a 5150 II with a Crate Blue Voodoo 4x12.

I have had the 5150 II since it was released and it has always had the sound I want so I do not think I will part with it until I get an Axe FX even then I will keep it around. The Blue Voodoo cab sounds really good but I am going to upgrade to an Orange 2x12 in a couple of months.

So yeah, that is it.

 

[Deliverowned]

Had my first guitar and amp 4 years ago at christmas, started playing seriously 1 year later and then also started to be gear addicted.

So,

First amp was a Line 6 combo 75 watts
I bought a 5150 and a Marshall 1960
Then I had a VHT Sig X and a VHT D412
Then a VHT Deliverance 60
Then a VHT UL without EQ, still regret havin this one gone
Then Framus Dragon
Then a Orange Rocker 30
And then a VHT pitbull CL100

So yeah now i have my 5150 and the VHT CL100 haha ill never get rid of the 5150 but the vht is for sale. GASing now for a rack setup, prolly engl e530 + vht 2/90/2 then axe fx muhaha I wish i still had my UL. The deliverance sounds so awsome to, really raw and agressive. Loved the singing lead of the dragon and versatility of the sig X.

[Chickenhawk]

This won't be in order. Just how I remember them,

Squire practice amp
Fender practice amp
Peavey Studio Pro 1x12
Peavey something 2x12 combo
Behringer 2x12 combo
Line 6 Spider II (1x12 I think)
Marshall 2x12 combo (bought it off a friend/former bandmate, was actually pretty decent)
Peavey 5150 (twice, years apart, lol)
Mesa Boogie Triple Rectifier (full stack)
B-52 AT100 (still have this)
Raven 2x12 combo (used it as backup for a long time, had to use pedals)
Mesa Boogie Formula Pre-amp (amazing cleans, still have it)
Fender Hotrod Deville 2x12 (seriously contemplating getting another one, or a 4x10)
Rocktron Chameleon (still have it)
Roland Cube (15 watt, I think, gave it to my nephew, he loves it)
Peavey 6505+ (for like a week)

And finally, Fractal Audio Axe-FX Standard. It's calmed my GAS quite a bit. But I still want a Fender Hotrod Deville 4x10.

That's only the amps I've personally owned, not the ones I've borrowed, or bandmates stuff I've used. And I'm sure I'm missing a few that weren't worth a shit (couple cheap Randalls and Marshalls, I'm sure.)

Interesting thread

1: A Fender Squier 15W amp. Don't think I bothered abou the EQ and just cranked the gain. Oh the joys of inexperience

2: Behringer V-ampire: I was stoked. My first experience with modeling. A lot of songs with crappy sound and crappy effects ensued

4: Peavey Valveking: ZOMG I can haz tubes? At first I thought it sounded pretty bland and i was a bit disappointed. But when I one day switched back to the Behringer it sounded blander than the blandest blandness.

5: Engl Screamer 50 combo. Januray sale 33% off the price. Very good deal and a very good and versatile amp for the money

6: Marshall 6100lm. Traded the Screamer for this head when I went 4x12. Hated it after a week and became desperate for a trade. Never went back to Marshall.

7: Peavey xxx. Wow did this thing deliver balls. I loved the versatility and the in your face tone. Sadly, after a years time the band quit and it saw little use.

8: Line 6 Vetta II w. mod. Traded the Peavey for this for solo play and recording at home. I don't get why this amp get's so much praise here. I found it to be terrible in every sense of the word.

9: Krank Revolution 1. Never cared much for the Krank tone, but I was desperate to get away from the Vetta.

10: Mesa 2ch blackface rectifier. Some poor sod was having money issues. I offered him the Krank and a little cash for this beauty. And thus i became a Mesa owner, paying 10% of new price in cash

11: Peavey 5150. Found an extremely good deal on this and bought it for curiosity. In the end, it was'nt my tone and i sold it for 33% more than i bought it for myself

12: Mesa Mark IIc+. Another guy with money troubles. I offered him the reftifier + cash, arguing that in these times at was easier to sell a cheaper amp. He agreed. When i count the expenses in cash + the money spent to get the rectifier, the IIc+ ended up costing me just below 2000€ or 2700 dollars. Which is cheaper than a new rectifier head here

 

[heilarkyguitar]

4:krank rev jr pro 50. Nasty little thing
Now: vht pittbull cl50. Where has this thing been all my life

 

[Khaine88]

Quite Short here as well:

2: Peavey Vypyr 30 watt Combo
3: Peavey 5150 60 watt Combo

I'm a little bored so let me try and remember:

1. Echolette solid state combo 20W (DOD Metal X pedal distortion)

2. Melodija Mengeš Orkan solid state combo 60-80W didn' say (DOD Metal X pedal distortion)

2. Bassman 50W clone EL34 black face with DIY 412 cab (DOD Metal X pedal distortion)

3. Bassman 100W clone 6L6 silverface with DIY 412 cab and later Behringer 412V (DOD Metal X, Marshall Jackhammer and Rocktron Rampage in the end)

4. Engl 530 + Crate SPA200 solidstate 200W poweramp and Behringer 412V

5. Engl 530 + KITTY HAWK 120 tube poweramp and ENGL 412

most photos are downloaded but are very alike.

1. Peavey Rage 158 - still in use today. I live in an apartment and have to be quiet...and my wife still says it's too loud.

2. Fender M80 head, with custom 2x15 cab bought from my neighbor. I remember being pretty impressed when I was 17, but it got sold for...

3. Marshall JCM 900 2x12 combo - TUBES! That said, the distortion sucked balls, so I sold it for a proper half stack

4. ADA MP1 and A/B International Power Amp through a Mesa 4x12. This probably would have sounded a lot better if I had gotten a tube power amp, and not used a Metal Zone as my distortion. Yikes.

5. The MP1 fried, so I bought a Krank Krankenstein because I love Dime and my band plays 2 full Pantera sets in tribute to him every December. You guys will laugh, but it had my favorite clean tone...and leads sounded great too, but I didn't really like it for riffs.

6. Engl Powerball v2 - I really don't see myself selling this. I will definitely buy more amps, but this thing is too versatile to sell.

Next on my list is either an Engl Invader, or my bassist's Orange Thunderverb 200...that thing fucking slays. And I have a very definite longing for it, since Dusty from BTBAM used it to record a few parts on Colors with it...and then sold it to my bassist.

I gotta fucking figure out how to get him to sell it to me.

Crate GX20M

Marshall Valvestate VS100 + 1960A

Marshall AVT150 (gross) with 1960A

Marshall JMP1 with 8008 "Valvestate" (even though there wasn't a single tube in it) power amp, 1960A, later added a Randall 2x15 cab because that's the closest I've ever come to chasing after a particular artist's tone.

JMP1 started farting out on me, and since I couldn't afford another one at the time, I grabbed a B52 AT212 on the cheap

Sold the Marshall rack rig and traded the B52 and 1960 for a Marshall JVM205C, which is currently for sale on this forum.

Back to rack! JMP1 with 9200 dual monoblock 100W tube power amp, and I have a pair of these exact cabs being built for me right now:

 

[ryan9896]

1) fender combo amp 1x10 20w (not sure of model)

2) crate combo amp 2x12 120w (not sure of model)

3) marshall MG100FX w/ 4x12 MG cab

4) mesa dual rectifier w/ 4x12 mesa rectifier cab

5) randall rm100 w/ 4x12 mesa rectifier cab (kh modules, ultra, 1086, tweed, XTC)

6) randall RG75 G3 Plus 1x12 75w combo

7) randall KH120 head w/ line6 4x12 spider cab

8) Randall V2 w/ randall 4x12 XLTX cab
