Hi,
How many of you only use a pedel board? Or do you also use an amp on stage?
For special events or larger worship evenings, I actually always use an amp as well.
The amp is also used when we're on tour.
I don't actually need an amp for any event. My pedalboard works really well. But a tube amp is somehow something else.
So far I've had the following experiences with amps
Ampeg Heritage CL - sounds awsome - but the new Ampegs are unreliable in my opinion.
Hiwatt Custom 100 from the 70s - sounds phenomenal, but vintage amps need a lot of maintenance
Just like the Orange OR120 - nice but vintage
Orange AD200 - Creamy but unreliable
Ampeg B15 - simply beautiful, but also vintage
Fender Supberbassman - too much over-engineered - mine always has some kind of error
Now I'm thinking about buying a hand-wired Tube Workshop Amp (TWS)
Basically it's an Ampeg B15 with extra features.
Please tell me your experience with amps for worship and your opinion about the TWS BassBoy. Thank you
