How many amps do you guys own?

[Ed Byrnes]

Here are mine:
Fender Bassman 500 + 2 rumble 115
V4b + 2 SVT 212av
Micro VR + 4 SVT 210av (use 2 with the Micro VR and 4 with the V4b)
PF 50T + PF115he

 

[Hot Rats]

Good Lord...I just counted. I got 10 amps. What the hell do I need 10 amps for?


edit...forgot one.

 

[Jefenator]

1 combo, 4 cabs and 4 heads (5 if we’re counting the rack with a power amp that I mostly use for PA now).
That’s not too out of control!
I feel justified having a main workhorse (Glockenklang Soul), a backup/rehearsal micro-head (Quilter BB800), a moderately practical tube amp (Sunn 200s), and a freaking heavy tube amp for loud rock (Ampeg V-4B).
I also make no apologies for the speakers, as I do a variety of shows and I hate overkill almost as much as I hate bringing a knife to a gun fight.

I currently have 13 and am unable to explain how that happened or why I don't see it as a problem I need to seek professional help for. I have 8 Mesa's, 3 GKs, an Aguilar, and my classic SWR SM-400S. The good news is that I only have 10 cabs and one combo.

 

[Guild B301]

14-15 but that counts bass, guitar, acoustic and keyboard amps

....oops, I only confessed to the number of bass amps.

 

[AMp'D.2play]

At the present time, 4. GK MB800, Aggy TH 500 and TH 350. Plus a Traynor SB112 combo. Along with 3 cabs.

Haven't played a bar gig in over 2 years, and my only playing "out" in that time is modern P&W in a church setting. (prior to this March, of course) We use in-ears and have a complete sound system, incl DI box.

The only amp of mine that's left the house in all that time is my TH350, which I sometimes bring to use as a DI instead of the one the church provides.

Good lord!

Most music stores in the area have a slimmer selection of bass amps and cabs than I do. I'm just glad that my hobby doesn't involve collecting cars,...I'd need a lot more garage space!

 

[Hot Rats]

Good lord!

Yes, good lord indeed.

5.
But... here's why.


I like my active basses through this.

I like My passive basses through this.

This is in My den.

This is in My guest room, where I hang out, when the Girls are watching TV.

I keep this around, because My Arias sound SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO cool through it.

So yeah... I'm just an "old school", "old guy." No need to upgrade. I'm happy...


Hope Y'all are well, happy, and SAFE!!!

PEACE.

I voted crazy cat lady cause I legit do not know atm but let me see if I can list 'em.

First off until recently I was a professional amp tech so Ive got a several broken amps. some are I'll get to em, and some are parts heeps. For the sake of simplicity though I'll separate them via the working, than the paperweights.

Working;
Mesa boogie 400

Custom champ 5f1 head (slightly modified circuit)

Trace Elliot elf

Crate b-150

Sovtek bassov blues midget

Silverstone 1483

Sears 10 BXL

Fender champ 110 (my first amp from age 15)

Pocket size "Jade" transistor radio amp.

"Esteban sir Westinghouse" (Esteban guitar amp in a old Westinghouse radio box).

Several battery amps a few dano honeytone's and a few off brand.

Line six spider 112 combo with a weird console tube amp mounted inside.

I think that's all the working ones.
Paperweights;
Gibson g10 (I think that's the model) solid state guitar combo from the 70's.

Fender PA100 (70's tube amp)

Traynor yba200 (this blew up pretty spectacularly before it came to me)

Bassman/ac30 custom amp (I have parts for this and really should finish it)

Actually I think that's all of em, I think.

(Edit) huh 20 ain't bad I guess.

2 Hartke HA3500 half stacks with 115 cab for each
Ashdown B Social because basically I needed a stereo for the house and it's a practice amp little sucker puts out.

 

[Timmah]

I’m at 6ish right now, but I’ll probably try and cut that number significantly as I’m likely going to move to a smaller place this fall.

Current stable:
- Mesa Walkabout w/scout cabinet (cab is currently down for the count)
- Ampeg Micro VR w/two SVT210AVs (keys guy uses this for rehearsal and I use it to record. It’s still my favorite sounding cab setup)
- GK 800RB (bulletproof backup amp)
- Genz Benz NeoX212 (main gig cab)
- Ampeg BA108 (bedroom practice amp)
- TC Electronic BG208 (bought for a folk tour and used sparingly since; I kind of hate the sound and I currently use it as a TV stand)
