What has your amp journey been so far?

skippy76

For me it started back in the 90s as a teenager, then kicked off again properly about 6-7 years ago when my oldest lad got right into guitar and then drums.

Peavey (bandit I think)
Marshall 100w Valvestate
Marshall Acoustic 50w

Post internet and valve discovery:

Fender Hot Rod Deluxe
EC Twinolux (this was a monster amp and a massive overkill for my home playing!)
Egnator Tweaker
Toneking Imperial 2
Fender Deluxe Reverb 68
Fender Princeton 68

Fender Princeton 65

Fender Blues Junior

Marshall Origin 20

After discovering the Ox Amp Top Box

Carr Rambler

Most of these have been owned for decades. These days ( notwithstanding lockdown ) the Carr, the Deluxe R and the Vibrolux tend to share the gigging duty roster depending upon venue. At 68, i’m not sure that I could lift the Super Reverb anymore but it still sounds great at Music Room levels. I gigged the Bandmaster once last year and loved using it again. Like many, I have stupidly sold some in the past. Two that I really miss are a 73 Pro Reverb, non MV w, valve rec. and a 76 Princeton Reverb. What was I thinking.

I’ve been fairly slow in the amp dept,  been playing over  25 years but had a near 10 year gap where I hardly played and bought nothing. 

First stint 1994 to 2004, (byrds era:)

Gorilla practice amp 
another practice amp I can’t remember 
Laney Linebacker 30

Second stint 2014 to present, (flying burrito bros era:)

Kustom 10 solid state
Yamaha THR5 (still got)
Champion 600 (still got, much modded)
Gretsch G5222
68 reissue princeton
Blues Jr mk 2
Boss Katana
1979 silverface Champ
Super Champ x 2 (still got)

Snags

I think I've been worse for amps than guitars until recently

In order:

Kay 10w practice amp (new)     replaced with:

Carlsboro 20w something or other (second hand_    replaced with:

Laney Linebacker 30 Reverb (new) - bought at uni   joined later by:

Sessionette 75 (very second hand) - too loud for home use, sold on       retained Laney replaced with:

Marshall Valvestate VS230 (new)

 - the Marshall was my main amp for ages, then got lent out to people, and eventually given to a friend a couple of years ago when he got back into guitar

joined by Marshall Lead 12 mini-full-stack: head, two 1x10 cabs (second hand)

 - comedy choice because I could, never really used and sold on

Laney LC30-II (new) - this relegated the Marshall to loaner status; only recently sold since joining here

Laney Lionheart L5T-112 (new) - because the LC30-II was too loud for the use-case at the time

Blackstar Fly 3

Roland Blues Cube Artist (second hand) - main amp for a year or so, recently moved on

Jet City 20VH (new)

Egnator Tweaker combo (second hand)

The Lionheart, Jet City and Egnator are all still here and meet different needs (as is and does the Fly).
