What tube amp do you play?

[JimmyM]

Ya, the foreign transformers weren't totally by choice. Electrical Windings priced themselves out of the game because they didn't want to do them anymore.

Fender Bassman 100t, Ashdown CTM-300. Different voices, different uses, both absolutely amazing!

Either a Mesa 400 (non+) or an Ampeg V4BH. I've been having some issues with the Ampeg lately and the Mesa is seeing all of my gigs..

SVT ll (non pro) + 2 SVT 810's
V4HB + 2 Ashdown ABM 410's

OP: nice thread! Here's my current amp list:

• 1991 300 watt Ampeg SVT-II nonpro into a Berg NV610 cab
• 1973 100 watt Ampeg V-4B into a Fliptops sealed 4x10 cab
• 1973 50 watt Ampeg B25B into a custom LDS sealed 4x10 cab

Me and my 2 bandmates are the extent of our "crew". Guitar player also plays a heavy tube amp with a half stack. Drummer plays a very large double bass kit. I play an SVT with a fridge. 2 guys on each piece of heavy equipment and it's no problem. My cab has wheels and is way easier than moving 2 410s. Drummer is 48, I am 44, Guitarist is 31.

I'm a young 60. Drummer is 54. Guitarist is 57. Keyboards is 49. Guitarist is 61.

We have a LARGE show. I still play a HSVT-CL and a HSVT810. Both guitarists play Marshall. Keyboards has 4 keyboards with stands. Drummer has a huge kit.

We all pitch in and load in and out. It;s surprising how easy that stuff is, with a little help from your friends.......

Some awesome amps posted here. I really like that Mesa Boogie's look.
Here's my humble contribution to this thread. I love My YBA 200

 

[Floyd Eye]

Nope, and neither do many of the later American models. OT manufacture moved out of the US years before full production did.

Yeah, mine has the US made ones.

Indeed.

Morgan mp200. Wonderful amp.

I also use an Ashdown Little Bastard for rehearsals.

I am looking to purchase a 75Amps Apollo for smaller club gigs.

I use them powering some combination of Accugroove Tri112 and Tri115 cabs depending on the venue size

Most often, it's this, which is downsized from the 2nd, old pic:

Hated the 1820s, the 18s sounded like..bovine methane emissions. The Bergantino subs beneath them were awesome, but ultimately sold them off for some reason I can't remember.

I have a B15, D180 and Sound City X188 that stay at home, the band only wants clean & loud.

I'm giving my Mesa 400+ it's inaugural gig in a few hours! I'm playing it through a Berg CN212.
