A Silverface Twin Reverb (actually only my second ever amp !)
Bought cheap from my old guitar teacher, sounded good on it's own. Sounded frankly epic when run in tandem with;
Marshall 2558 2x12 combo. I'm told it was basically the same as a Silver Jubilee but Black (don't know) but yeah, running the Twin on clean ish with the Marshall cooking was a frankly epic sound !
After that a Marshall JMP1 preamp into an ART Multiverb Alpha into a Marshall 9005 50 w per side stereo pwr amp.
Not great toanz in the classic sense but I was a bit fixated on Vernon Reid at the time, nuff said.
After that?
Rivera Clubster 45. Lovely thing
Currently :
Rivera Chubster 40
Budda SD 30.
The grown up in me that has learned that there's more to tone than just winding the gain up loves the Rivera.
The snotty teenager in me is given full rein on the Budda !
I'm a lucky man
Favourites of the past were a Musicman RD50, a lot of Matamps (R28, 1224, S2000 to name a few), JCM800 2204 that did the original BKP demos, I quite liked my Laney GH100l when it worked, same with the Mesa Dual rec but that worked even less often! I've got a soft spot for the little Blues Junior for low volume clean. But I've had 5 and they've all gone noisy, eaten valves, transformers, you name it.
Currently still got the very first prototype Matamp C7 that I worked on with Dave Green, a really nice Marble Club Reverb from the Netherlands, a Super Reverb, a Marshall JMP 50 2204, and an AxeFX 2 rig. Marble is my favourite straight ahead plug and play take anywhere amp. I suspect my favourite next amp will be the Matamp triple when I get a couple of weeks to finish it....
I am an amp killer - part of the reason why Matamp asked me to test for them about 12 years ago now!
I also have a fondness for my old Session amp which marked the beginning of small, loud SS amps-great cleans with a compressor for funk.
The Mesa Boogie Express 5:50 2x12 I had up until last year was also a fine amp but my current H&K Tubemeister 36 trumps it in the cleans, which is more important to me as my OD pedals can provide the rest.
My fave amp was my friend's 1966 Fender Vibrolux which was literally an amp you could just plug into or add an overdrive and delay for some added versatility and frosting. That sold for a pretty sum and I wish I had the dosh to buy it. The closest thing I've found to it is a Carr Sportsman owned by @Dindude and played through at SE Gearfest athough I'm happy with most Fenders (Deluxe Reverbs, Super Reverbs, Twins and Pro Reverbs) and have used these as hired back line.
I'm sure my next amp will just a single channel 30-50
Forgot about the Sessions - really like the Rockette, great low power jazz amp. Especially when you get them for about £70-100
