| | | | Primary Amp: Tube? Solid State? Or Hybrid?
Sign in to disble this ad
Many folks here, including me, have multiple amp types. This poll question is about your primary amp:
"if you had a showcase for the record deal of a lifetime, or for that dream gig, (whatever the case may be), what amp would you break out for that show?"
Basically, would you break out a tube, solid state, or hybrid amp? BTW, no gear humping. All set up for you.

I'd bring both but use the SVT-II first, I think. Either way, they'd top off my Genz 610 XB2.
The real kicker is what bass would I use? I have different basses set up for different playing styles and there's a bit of use overlap with most of them. That'd be the real choice, especially because I don't think there is any genre that I haven't, wouldn't, or don't play.
PS-I'm voting tube. |

|  | User | | Join Date: May 2007 Location: East Coast | | I generally use a Marshall DBS 7200 hybrid head, because it's a lot lighter and less insanely loud than my preferred tube head, a Sunn 300T.
If I am showcasing at a larger venue, I always use the 300T.

I'm so over dorking with amps... leave it up to the sound guys to do their job.
