Whats your favorite Guitar amp?

[SpectorBass308]

Ive played with many different guitarists each with many different types of amps. Personally I would have to say that my favorite is the 2x12 Vox AC30. Ive got one in my garage that my band uses and to say that it has great tone would be an understatement. I think they sound best when paired up with either a Fender Strat or Telecaster on the neck pickup. Such fat, warm, deep, juicy, thick, bright, crisp tone.

2nd place would probably go to some sort of Fender twin reverb amp, 2x12 and tube of course.

What about You?

I've always liked Mesa Boogie - couldn't tell you a model. But I got turned on to Bad Cat amps at a couple of Porcupine Tree shows a few years back, and really like those babies now too...

70's era Twin Reverb - hands down. Amazing cleans and takes any pedal well.

 

[Interceptor]

Fender Champ. Any of the '50's circuits.

 

[RHFusillo]

Fender Bassman -- either the tweed 4x10 model or the later, blackface models

Thats the way to go! My guitarist has one of those and it sounds amazing!

His is a 1972

Hmmm... A guitarist I was playing with back in the day (I mean the actual 70s) used to play one of these. I never much cared for it. I guess because the guy was mostly going for that "Les Paul through a Marshall" classic rock tone, and the Fender didn't work so well for that.

Now, if he'd been playing a Strat or a Telecaster and going for that Roy Buchanan / Mark Knopfler / James Burton type of sound, then yeah...

Being that I play in an 80's metal tribute band, both guitarists use Marshall (what else). Outside of that, I used to play with a guy that had a Budda amp (head). It was amazing!!! I also liked the Soldano one guy had, really nice tone.

Diezel VH4, can do any sound, period. Most versatile guitar amp I've ever heard.

Ahh, Ive heard about Diezel amps but haven't heard one yet. Ill have to check that out.

Diezel puts together an amazing amp and I'm looking forward to getting my hands on one. Engl makes a handful of nice amps too. This is talking big ticket stuff, I can't have my favorites be so high priced!

I really like the sound of a JCM 800 as well, or a Mesa Boogie MKIV, but grew up in a house full of Fender amps and Gibson guitars so love those Fenders. Wishing I still had my Dual Showman head from early 20's.

What about You?

Hmmm, Mesa Boogie Lone Star Special !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Matchless C-30 (2x12)

Fender Hot Rod Deluxe

I've played a ton of guitar amps through the years and NONE have come close to the tone of the 4x10 Fender Blues Devilles I've had (one tweed and one HotRod). Early 70's Telecaster straight in, NO effects needed... just play music.

for some reason, my little 60 watt combo overpowers it with the volume set to 9 o' clock
that's why i love it
