New Amp Day - guess what it is!

What's Hot
ICBMICBM Frets: 72245
edited July 2016 in Amps
I got this on Thursday.

[Hosting account expired]

No, it's not a Mesa Trem-o-verb. Even I don't need three of them :).

Recorded with a Rode NT-1A about a foot from the grille, slightly off axis. Guitar - PRS Standard 22 with Duncans. All the changes are from the guitar - coil split neck pickup, both, bridge, then full HB neck, both, bridge, in that order, and rolled the volume back on the guitar at the very end. Recorded at 'loud home volume' - with no EQ, compression or anything else.

Anyone guess what it is?

    I reckon it's a small amp. 8" speaker or less. I'm going for some form of Champ or something like a Pignose.

    Dumble. 
    Ok, maybe not.

    I'm going with a small Orange combo.

    Blackstar Series One 6L6.

    Got to be right one day!
     Oh! Did you say it was a combo? In that case S1 45!

    Clue 1: Yes, it's a combo.

  • Hmm...

    I'll roll off a few that I reckon can sound like that!

    Peavey classic 50/Peavey bandit on the warm clean or crunch setting. Recorded well.

    Mesa trem-o-verb (:p) nah, how about a mesa subway blues?

    I'm almost certainly a million miles off on all counts, but those sounds conjure those amps in my head. Could equally by a blackstar id, series 1, or a jcm, or a hot rod deluxe or a champ or...

    :) pm me the answer, or a new clue! I love these games :)

    OK, Clue 2: it's not a 'new' new amp. It's about 20 years old.

    Pro Junior? Although that would get pretty loud at those distortion levels at the end...

    It's obviously got to be a Fender Champ.  You signed up and realised it's all you need to get any tone you'll ever require.

    My muse is not a horse and art is not a race.

    Sounds voxy or champ-ish.. Nice and woody. No idea though

    It was quite loud, although not excessive - I'd guess putting out around 5W, by comparing it to another amp I had here a few days ago which was a 5-watter.

    Clue 3 - that wasn't cranked up, it's a master volume amp.

    Some of that is the guitar - it has a really nice 'thunk' type tone to it.


    Only one person is even remotely close so far :)

    It sounds like a Vox to me .. AC15 perhaps ...

    Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!

    It's a decent clean sound, so I'll go with a Vox, or maybe a Hiwatt

    Clue 5 - while the clean sound is what they're more commonly used for, this was actually recorded using the amp's dirty channel.

    (Edit) Two pretty good guesses so far. One person also PM'd me with the exact correct answer too, so it can be done!
