The amp that got away

LANEY DP150
I miss that little heavy tank. I now have it's father, the trace Elliot GP11 MK V 150Watt, but to be honest I liked the Laney more. Sold it for 50 bucks - a shame :-(

 

I had a '70's "Black line" SVT with matchingh 810, but got rid of it around 7 or 8 years ago. In the two years I owned the rig, I re-Tolexed it, had a full service done on it and even made a caster cart for it. That rig was my baby. Alas, I had run into financial hardship and needed to sell it

A (bad) picture:

 

Not an amp per se, but I wish I still had my greenface SWR Grand Prix preamp. Sounded very good and would be handy to have again. But I'm not losing sleep over it, lol - if I can't find one for a good price I will just get something else for a back up / DI.

 

76 Ampeg V4B.

 

70's Fender Bassman 100 w/ original 412 Cab. It was married to my 78 Fender P.
Moved between countries. Didn't have room for the huge cab.

 

Peavey BAM setup & Eden WT800. I really, really miss the brief time I had an Eden setup but I had to sell it for bills.

 

A Peavey...

In all seriousness, I never owned one, but I've had a couple chances to pick up a Divided by 13 TBL200. I kind of regret not doing so. I've never owned a super boutique, handwired point-to-point amp.

 

Peavey USA's always held a special place in my heart <3

I'm going to buy a Classic 400 as soon as I see one, those things are awesome!

Yeah, that was a hard decision to make... but, I'm sure I'll get another one (someday).

 

...and the can of worms has been reopened.

 

This will always be the aguilar db 680/728 combo. So much overkill on volume and weight, but the sound! Wish I still had it!

 

An SWR Big Ben as a stand alone, powered by an 80's GK 800rb.

 

hi 18er. i once played through an amp called NOMARK. i was told it was a copy ( spanish built) of one of the early marshalls. it had one of those blue/ green bar indicators that told you when you were overloading the pre amp stage(the bars would meet in the middle when you got it right)had a lovely rich harmonic sound to it. i offered to buy it but the guy was not selling. i later heard that he got a bit desperate for some nose candy and knocked it out for peanuts to some geezer from granada. bstard.

 

sunn 2000s, my parents refused to store it and i couldn't take it with me when i moved

 

Hahah, this guy ^

Try a VB-3 into a Peavey VB810 and tell me that you're still used to lifeless tone coming from the Peavey gear.

I know Peavey is regarded as a 'budget brand' most of the time, but that's not to say that the offerings from Peavey aren't up there with the cheaper combos Ampeg makes, or SWR, or anybody, really. You can't say that Peavey is crap because of the amp you owned when you were 14 wasn't the best thing you'd heard at the time. Maybe you just expected a little much out of the 10" speaker?
