What's Your Dream Amp?...(Combo, Head and Cab, Whatever..)

[superheavyfunk]

48lb Revsound 4x10 vertical

Since David builds his own, maybe he can do a 4x12 vertical.

That's brilliant! All it needs is a built-in poweramp, and the ability to come apart into two pieces so I can fit it in my car!

 

[lethal dose]

A pair of 15/6 cabs and a Mesa Strategy Eight:88.

1 for each need, my man...


For Blues and Old School R&B:

The cab would be an Ampeg PF-115HE (the one without the tweeter), combined with an Ampeg PF-50T with a beefed-up output transformer (assuming it would still fit in the cab) and re-biased for 7581-A tubes for a total of 70 Watts. I know 20W isn't a gigantic difference, but I'll take as much clean headroom as I can get in this application.


For Rock & Roll through 70's punk and the earliest Heavy Metal:

Head: Traynor YBA200-2, possibly re-biased for 6550's

Cab: Some kind of awesome 2x15. Note sure which one.


Finally, for NWOBHM and beyond, I see myself getting a DNA rig, consisting of 2 4x10's and the 1350 head.

Lucky to already have it. Maybe I'd find a cab that made me even happier if I looked. But I think it'd mostly just be different. GK/Laney is a great fit. I got very lucky on this being my first "proper" amp.

 

[Two-Spirit]

Ampeg SVT 4 into two SVT 115 cabinets.

 

[Smitty]

I just bought an Eden WT800 and two Eden 410XLTs today, I am hoping it is my dream rig, but haven't had a chance to play it at home yet, other than a quick checkout when I bought it.

I'm very happy with my SVP-PRO/SVPCL preamps and DPC1400X power amp rig rack and the SVT 8x10 Heritage cabinet. The only thing that I think I'd ever want is an Ampeg SVT-VR just to have and use with the 8x10 cab.
That will happen.

The dream bass amps for me are a 1961-2 Ampeg B12 (NOT SB12) for the home/recording, and a Matchless Thunderman powering an Electric Amps 2x12 cabinet.

 

[IconBasser]

a Genz Benz Shuttlemax 9.2, and (2) Genz Benz NX2-212T cabs.

I already have the head and one of the cabs, I just... kinda want another one

 

[Kro]

Man, I'm one of the lucky ones that feel like I have my dream rig, at least out of gear that's currently been released to-date. It'd likely take something special to unseat my 1001RB-ii into my Fearless F115, but we'll see what GK cooks up over the next year or so...

 

[D.M.N.]

Well, I've got the multiple Sunn 2000s' covered, so I'll go with Marshal 200 (Pig, not Major), into two extra tall 1982B 4x12s, similar to the rig Entwistle used occassionally in '66, as well as what Ron Wood used in the Jeff Beck Group.

These cabs:

This head:

Valvetrain Brandywine with matching 1x15" cab.

 

[Jared Lash]

Sadowsky SA200 and a pair of SA 410s

 

[somebrains]

I need a shrinking and expanding gun for what I like.

 

[packhowitzer]

50

2x6x10 Barefaced Bass cabs, vertically stacked, powered by a Fender Super Bassman with an fdeck HPF.

Smaller gigs, my Sunn 2000s with my 2x15 Sunn JBL cab.

For smallest gigs, my Sunn 200s with my 1x15 Sunn JBL cab.

Nyet.

Shouldn't that be nicht?

 

[Pbassmanca]

I just ordered my dream amp of several years, the Verellen Meatsmoke 300W all-tube. And I'm about to order a Barefaced SIX10 to go with it. Dream come true sometime in September I guess.

Dude, that rig is going to SLAY...........

 

[Pbassmanca]

Aha! Another instance of Russian interference in US matters!!

Хорошо!
