What tube amp do you play?

I use:
- Weber AB200 ( pre: 2x12AX7, 1x6L6GC (driver tube) power: [email protected] or [email protected]),
- Weber 6S100 (pre: 1x12AX7, 1xEF86, 1x12BH7, power: [email protected])
- Hiwatt DR201 clone (pre: 3x12AX7 , 1x12AT7, power: [email protected] or [email protected])

all built (and serviced) by myself. I mostly use 1-2 Ampeg SVT410HE, or sometimes 1-2 EBS115.

 

Peavey Classic 400. Eight 6550's or KT88's = 400 watts of tube power. I run it through a fEARful 1515/66/1.

 

Egnater Tweaker 40 (2x 6l6 @40 watts)

Bag End D12

 

Mesa 400+
Fender 300 Pro
Trace Elliot V4 & V6

 

Fender Bassman 100 T
Epiphone Valve Jr. Modded for bass.

 

Ironic as there are more companies bringing tube bass heads back to market.

I'm currently playing a 74 SVT, 75 Sound City 120, and an Ampeg B15. Depends on the gig.

 

'67 "Fender Bassman 50" at home, and it almost never leaves home:



Due to its vintage value, low power and high weight I can't bring it to bar gigs.
Unfortunately instead of it I use "Ampeg SVP-PRO" Bass Tube Preamp connected to a solid state power amp.

I wish I could use an Ampeg SVT with its 8x10 cab for bar gigs...

Someday, someday

 

SVT CL

While we're on the subject, does anyone have an opinion on the AShdown 300 watt tube head? Just curious.

 

Ampeg SVT Classic and Orange AD200 MK3.

 

My only opinion is that they're a whole lotta coin .

 

I play either a '70s V4B or SVT head through a pair of single 15" cabs loaded with JBL K145s.

 

70's Ampeg V4B. I love it!

 

Fender Bassman 300 Pro

 

these are nice

Priced similarly to a new CL aren't they?

 

Heritage SVT

 

Nice.

 

Priced the same as a Heritage CL. $2400. A new SVT-CL is $1800.

 

The question is then is it worth the extra $600 to have an amp not made in Asia. Or is the Ashdown not made in the UK?

Some people ( Jimmy M.) swear they can tell no difference between a US made SVT and a Chinese/Vietnamese/Korean model. I'm glad mine is US made though.
