GeneHilbert	Date: September 2, 2008 @ 3:21 AM I kind of pair my gtrs with amps. Not always but that's my tendency. I have 3 Fenders, '68 Twin, Cyber-Twin and a Champ. My strats or a teles through these twins are tone for days. I can get any tone I want. 2 Marshalls, Bluesbreaker and a MG80CD - Here my Les Paul rules the roost..... but I have used every gtr I have through these amps w/great results. Peavey Musician, my Jackson loves this amp more than other amp I have. I can't explain it, but the Seymour Antiquity (pick-ups) and Jackson circuity in combination with the Peavey just works great. And I will be adding a Mesa, as soon as I fine the deal. The MK series or a Heartbreaker is kind of what I'm looking for. I have to tell ya. I sat in with a house band I know one night. I had my Tele with me but no amp. They had some other amps sitting around. So I plugged into a 15watt Orange. This little beast kicked ass....... Just a screaming little amp. Expensive, but very kewl.
zedsalt	Date: September 2, 2008 @ 3:22 AM Real tubes, no DSP, the best sounding/most versatile amp I've had the pleasure of dinking with was a Reverend Goblin. As far as I can tell, it was the first to have switchable, hard-wired preamp/amp modules featuring different tubes. I kept mentioning them in the forums here and elsewhere, along with not-so-subtle hints that I'd be open to endorsing them, but there's even less chance now of that happening, if that's possible. The people that made my favorite amp don't make amps...any amps...anymore.
8111	Date: September 3, 2008 @ 1:28 PM Amps I have owned or played... I'm with Gene on the Marshall Blues breaker. Only other Marshal worth a hoot(for me) is the JCM 800 line. I love the JCM 800 series. Mesa Boogie Dual (NOT triple) Rectifier amps. Jammed with some old friends, Buddy let me jam his Les Paul Custom thru his Boogie Dual REC. All you could ever need... Two Rock Classic Reverb...sweetest clean Tube tone I ever heard.Good Growl. Very nice, very loud, very expensive... The Peavey 6505 is a Metal monster.Very Comparable to the Boogie Dual Rec, in my opinion... Amps I would love to try Orange Thunderverb, Video I saw was very impressive. Line 6/Bogner Spider Valve looks like an awesome amp that is a little more resonable, pricewise... Hughes and Kettner Switchblade is another one I'm dying to check out.
BOWILLIE	Date: September 4, 2008 @ 3:23 AM man..some great amps you guys listed. i think eddie van halen endored the peavey 6505..(if i remember correctly.(peaveys first tube amp) correct me if im wrong. am currently using a musicman.
BOWILLIE	Date: September 4, 2008 @ 3:24 AM endored?..arr endorsed.
GeneHilbert	Date: September 4, 2008 @ 7:35 AM Between 1993 and 2004 Eddie was sponsored by Peavey Electronics to use their 5150 Amplifiers, which he had a part in designing. Following the ending of this relationship, Peavey renamed the amplifier as the 'Peavey 6505', with slightly updated styling but original circuitry. Eddie is now sponsored by Fender and has debuted his new amp called the 5150 III. The 5150 III features 3 channels with their own independent controls, a 4-button foot-switch and his famous striped design on the head. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddie_Van_Halen
8111	Date: September 4, 2008 @ 9:27 AM I like how Eddie used Marshalls for years, but when he came out in Guitar World with the new Fender/EVH line of products, he really played down his association with Marshall amps, as if they were never an integral part of his sacred "brown sound" for soooo many years...
pog	Date: September 23, 2008 @ 2:57 AM Got me a new Fender twin... they guy in the shop said 120w but I think it's 100... which is fine. Sounds amazing with my new telecaster squire.
8111	Date: September 23, 2008 @ 4:13 AM sweet...love to hear you playin' thru it
PregnantBitch	Date: September 23, 2008 @ 4:46 PM culd i hok myspoons to 1 of thos?
zedsalt	Date: September 24, 2008 @ 3:48 AM Yoo shore kin, yoo segsy thang, yoo! The trend I'm really excited about are all of these little low-wattage, boutiquey amps popping up all over creation. The used gear market is already showing a huge increase in amps with incredibly beautiful tone (usually including a special knack for creating wild, over-the-top distortion at manageable volumes), tons of character, and brand names that only the best-educated potential buyer has ever heard of. I swear, if I ever win the lottery...yeah, I'll have to start playing the lottery first, but...if I ever win the lottery, I'm going to have a roomful of amps, and not a one of them is going to have a speaker bigger than a foot across.
independentm...	Date: September 25, 2008 @ 3:18 AM Ross gave me an all tube Fender Twin that fell off of the back of a Musician's Friend delivery truck that was on its' way to the shipping center where he worked and got busted (which he picked up as a 'blem' for a $100 and he put it back together.) AMAZING amp!
