First amp you ever played through.

[jastacey]

This was my first, for giging/playing out, it was a Traynor YBA-1 & an olf Fender cab, with 2-15's

 

[MYLOWFREQ]

A tiny Kustom guitar amp that distorted like hell when I hit the low notes. Then I traded it with another tiny Kustom amp that's supposedly designed for bass which I still have somewhere.

Peavey TNT 1x15 combo. Not so great, but served its purpose.

My dad’s Peavey TKO 65 with a Black Widow. He still has this amp.

 

[Lowbrow]

This PAX 1x15 SS combo that my dad bought home from the electronics catch-all store on Junction Blvd in Corona, Queens.

It was awful.

Kustom 200 with a pair of 2x15 Kustom cabinets. OMG what a sweet setup.

Late 1960's Lafayette. Had a C15N Jensen speaker. It looked exactly like the one in the pic.
Wish I still had it!

Man that was a long time ago. It was an Alamo from the pawn shop. And a Supro guitar.

My first amp was a Peavey TNT combo. I don't remember more specifics. After about a year I played with a drummer who let me use and later buy his Mark IV head and that matching 2X15 cabinet. Pretty nice rig for a kid back then.
The Mark IV kept blowing fuses so I rolled aluminum foil in the fuse cylinder and played that way for several years. And no matter how many people will tell me I shouldn't have done that or that it couldn't work, it worked and never gave me a problem. Loved that rig. I had a chance to jam through the identical setup a couple years ago and it brought some great memories of high school bands. I had a love/hate relationship with the pffffffff tone when the limiter kicked in.

[Aqualung60]

An old Sears Silvertone that when set at over 5 on the volume knob, would fart out like Grandpa after Thanksgiving day dinner.

[xk49w]

1968(?). Knight KM-15. Cab was home built, random size with a random 15.

I don't remember...

 

[Benj-jammin]

Saved up all summer back in 1974 - bought an Acoustic 136 combo for $500 new. 110 RMS, 250 peak- 15", folded horn. Vastly underpowered with 2 guitarists and their amps, bought a subsequent 140 head along with a 4-12" Acoustic cab. Better.....fond memories of that Acoustic, of course, a beast at 75 pounds, what I really wanted was the 371 rig, which I've seen posted on this site.

Peavey TNT 100 combo. My most vivid memory of this amp... Used to sing while playing bass as part of the worship team at church in 1985. A grounding problem caused the FOH system to set off a spark between the mic and my lip. I know the spark must have been intense, because I remember the blue glare coming of the top half of my eye sockets. As, I covered my face with both hands, every liquid in my face was trying to get out: saliva, snot, tears, ear wax, teenage facial grease... all of it . (I didn't have acne for a month! ) I fixed the grounding issue with the combo, but still approached mics with some trepidation until the day I got rid of the TNT 100 a few years later.

 

[BassmanPaul]

A Bird Golden Eagle belonging to our Rhythm Guitar player. Only had two inputs so I made a splitter OF TWO 68KΩ resistor so all three of us could play though it.

 

[Joe Nerve]

Wow... this came up immediately in a Google search . I guess it was more popular than I thought. This...

was my first amp. For guitar. And it didn't really sound great, until I plugged THIS into it....
