Amps we dont talk about in public.

[fat_lenny]

Best amp I own is a Baez lead amp from the early 70’s. I don’t talk about it because no one here (well out side of the east coast of Australia) knows of them.

locally built Australian amp that is absolutely awesome. Kills any Marshall I have owned. This one is switchable from 40w class AB, to 30w class A.

Switchable between different tubes.

Pictured with is Bass sibling.

Off topic:
When you get the Spark, start a new thread, I'd like to hear what you (and others) think about it.

Just threw up a new post.

heads up, the thing is freaking AWESOME

I have a Fender Champion 100 I got from Guitar Center a few years ago.

I absolutely love it. Channel 1 is just clean and doesn't have a whole lot besides onboard effects which are great to use, but Channel 2 is where it's at. It can do anything from like a Roland Jazz Chorus up to a 6505/5150, and also has the onboard effects from Channel 1.

Such a beefy and versatile amp. The 5150/6505 sound I got out of it is what I dream of having on my 800, but my current rig is satisfactory nonetheless.

how do you like that webber mini mass

It was okay for small amps. A little clunky but it didn't step on their tone much and it had a line out for reamping.

thats the one i have too. got it local for $35

 

[Riffraff]

$35?! Damn! You stole that.
I bought it new from Weber. I think I paid $165 for it because I got the foot switchable bypass. I used it with a 2266 Vintage Modern halfstack to take just a bit off the top and stomp the bypass for a lead boost. It's really all you could do with those amps for a lead boost if you're running them in the HDR dirty mode.

I have a 16 ohm Hot Plate too which I used to use with a 1959SLP. When I bought my YBA-1 I needed something that would work with an 8 ohm amp so I bought a Mass 100 because it has a selectable impedance and would work with most of my amps. I kept the THD because it can handle fully attenuated 100 watt amps and it's built like a tank. I didn't need the MiniMass 50 anymore and sold it for $100. The coolest part of the Mass 100 is it's line out tone stack. That's really handy for dialing in your tone when reamping.

yeah i had to jump on it when i seen it pop up on CL.
its the only one ive ever used. it works good but i would
like to get me a bigger one for my 100 watters.

Once all the rage but it's SHINE has faded on the interwebs.

I broke out my Tweaker 15 head yesterday for a little jam along. It's been over a year since I've even looked at it.

 

[ricksdisconnected]

sweet jam riff.
love the tweaker 15

I have a Madison Divinity II I picked up off reverb for $100. Guy said it didnt work and I was looking for a project. Ended up being a bad preamp tube and it needed a bias. Never heard one before I bought it... now it's my favorite amp.

I don't know if they've already been covered in this thread, but where there be no Marshall I'll take a Peavey Classic into a V30-loaded cab. Here's mine:

i like it vin.

Thanks Rick. (I gave up the big amps when I got tired of gigging, and started buying combos & small amps.)

1947 MASCO MA25P tube PA conversion

2x 6L6 power tubes (6L6GA in this video)
2x 7B4, 7F7 & 7N7 local preamp & 5U4 rectifier

I run RCA 6L6GC black plates in it now. It's AWESOME straight in with a Les Paul. Sort of like a lower powered tweed Bassman. Boost it and you get a cranked JTM45 vibe from it.

It's a bit more ratty sounding in this clip with a MIM Telecaster and a SD-1 but a cool sound nonetheless.



Hotter with a Les Paul and a Nova Drive OD.

thats wild looking.
