After Marshall, what's your favorite amp brand?

[damienbeale]

Can't believe it took until the second page til Hiwatt got a mention. A proper amp that kicks like a mofo.

And those Selmer Treble & Bass amps are very nice too...

I'd love to get my hands on one of those old Selmer Twin Thirties with the alligator tolex....

Maybe a nice older 504 too.

Line 6, Behringer, Stagg, Harley Benton, Force.

[sinner 13]

Well...
As with all of us I love my Marshall most.

On my wish list....

1995 Fender Prosonic in Seafoam Green

3 Monkeys Sock Monkey

Vox AC30HW

Mesa Mark V

 

[TwinACStacks]

I'm kinda wondering if it would be worth Modding one of those NEW Bugera 1960 Infiniuims, Maybe Throw in some Marstran Plexi Xformers, Choke, Maybe some NOS Phillips Mustards, sprinkle in some some Sozo Vintages here and there, Some Carbon comps, maybe little dash of Elfin magic....You know the drill.

I'm wondering if I could make a fairly respectable PLEXI out of it....

Any one wanna take bets?

[StratoMarshall]

I'm not sure.....

Damn, that's got a lot of light bulbs in there!

 

[Shazbot]

Fargen

I know crate gets no love in this forum, but I like the hell out of my Excalibur GX-900H. It's got the whole 90's metal thing down to a "T" and if that sum-bitch blows up, I can buy another one for less than a C note.

 

[Rocktane]

Mesa Boogie Mark IIC, Splawn, & many others. I need more Marshalls before I stray though.

 

[Grogshla]

for me and my style I would say MesaBoogie and then ENGL

 

[EndGame00]

For a non-Marshall clone....

There's nothing more badass than this... Teisco Checkmate 100

I used to have one of these 50-watter head.... Checkmate was my very first tube amp... I didn't play surf music with this.

 

[John 14:6]

Friedman, Bray and Splawn. Granger would be another great builder.

 

[solarburn]

Orange.

My JV JMP 2203 and an OR50 would be eargasmic.

Any clips of these you know of? Never seen or heard of these...

 

[matt3310]

My list would be:
Marshall
3rd Power
Fender
Soldano
Mesa
Orange
DR Z
Hiwatt
Vox

 

[levon]

Yes! I'd also have to say my 1970s AC30.

With My Handle? Please.....

unfortunately, clips are far and in-between. I found a few on youtube but they aren't mic'ed up so it really doesn't do justice on these vintage Teisco amps.

The clean tone of these suckers are bright and sparkly. The dirty sound is almost akin to a Fender twin pushed to its limits.

I think my 50-watt head had 8 power tubes... I believe the 100-watt version has 12 tubes, plus the VU meter on the panel. I do not recall what type of tubes they used.

I wondered if you had a pic to back you up on that.

Whoa! That's a lot of glass man! Thanks for the info. I dig old amps I know nothing about that someone has played. They look way different...unique.
