How Many Guitar Amps Do You Own?

[Aiq]

Down to a 1965 Deluxe-Amp with a JBL D-123 and a new stock Henriksen Blu 10.

Over the last few years sold off:

’65 three knob Bassman
’66 Vibrolux
‘65 Bandmaster
VHT D-50

[Msfazer]

So far, only one. A revv d20. As I'm a beginner, I don't need anything louder or more powerful than this. Bought it at a local shop. May get something more sophisticated in the future, but I'm pretty happy with what I have now.

I went through quite a journey with guitar amps.
I play pretty much guitar-straight-into-the-amp by itself, no effects, etc.
I played professionally in NYC from 1988 through about 2004. Just started playing out again, which feels like starting over from scratch!

My current amps are a mid-1970s Fender Deluxe Reverb (with the pull-out gain boost, which I never use) and a mid-1960s Ampeg Reverberocket 2, which is my current favorite.

I used to have a late-1960s Ampeg Jet, which I regret selling. That was a great little amplifier. It would be perfect for smaller gigs, and had a fat, super-smooth clean sound. Nothing 'clinical' about it.

I also used to have an early 1970s Princeton (no reverb). That was OK, too. It was brighter sounding than the Jet, just less unique sounding. Still, I'd like to have that around now for smaller gigs.

At one point I had a Polytone Mini-Brute (who hasn't?) but I never liked it much. Those are OK, but kind of flat and boring sounding. Still, it would be nice to have one of those for solo/duo gigs. It was very small.

Since my last post in this thread in 2019 I've bought an AER Compact 60TE. So that makes 9. (Sweet amp btw! Just used it last night on a gig. Everyone loved it... small amp/big sound is convienent and impressive.)

This just wandered in. Highly useful 1959 Ampeg M-12. Rebuilt and re-Tolexed in an entirely inappropriate pattern. Ridiculously good sounding. It passed the audition.

Brunetti Singleman 15 (1x12”, 6V6)
Carr Sportsman (1x12”, 6V6)
Engl Thunder 50 Reverb (1x12”, EL34)
Roland JC 22 (2x8”, solid state)
And a little Positive Grid modeling amp

I own a lot of amps, always chasing that tone and find the the right amp for the right situation, but I have also learned that knowing how to use and place your amp, using room acoustics and reletive placement on stage, can make or brake any amp. And I’ve done it wrong numerous times!

It takes a bit of experience to assess whether the amp should be on the floor, on a stool, tilted, behind you, left of you, right of you, close to the wall, etc. Sometimes even putting your coat or the amp cover behind it can completely change it’s sound and feel…..

[coyote-1]

Lessee now. I own an old ‘Sound’ brand amp. Dates from the late 1960s I think. Came as large combo with a 15” speaker; now just a head. Not used in ages. Then there’s my Marshall Major which is also mothballed; the price of refurbishing is too much given that I’m not doing the junior rockstar thing anymore.

Aside from those two, these four:
Marshall DSL40c
Fender Princeton Reverb II
Boss Katana 2
Ibanez Wholetone

All of which can function well as jazz guitar amps.

[Woodstove]

I like amps.
Headstrong Lil King S with upgrades
Celestion 12 75th Aniv and Mercury transformers This is my beloved jazz amp
Victoria 20112 my lap steel amp
Amplified Nation SSS 100W and ODR 5OW tethered with a amp splitter into one cab (Celestion creamback) so SSS is “clean channel” ODR is “dirty channel” used for recording rock and blues and performance in my studio. Heavenly.
Tonemaster DR my drag and go amp.
Benson the (milkman) amp
UAFX Dream and Ruby
Peace Hill Fx SSS preamp
Fryette PS2 fantastic piece of gear. The attenuater allows the Amplified Nation amps to get their sweet spots at room volume preserving tone and provides a tube power amp to the modelers and Peace Hill SSS to front of house and/or a cab.

[213Cobra]

Changed out my old listing. All the heavy tubes are gone. So, now:

SeQuel Vermont
Wavelength Twenty Four 5W octal tubes head w/ Wavelength solid wood 10" cab with 10" Celestion Gold Alnico
Henriksen Bud 6
DV Mark Little Jazz
Big Industries Ronnie Montrose 9V portable combo
Crate Taxi TX-30 (more than 30 years old now)
Wavelength Guitar Noggin tube headphone amp
