So...
What amp did you play through today?

Re: The What Amp did you play through today Thread
Well thanks for asking Coy.
I used a 6G3 Brown Deluxe clone.
Normal channel, half-volume with a Stratocaster and a Les Paul.

I noodled around with my silverface Spankmaster Reverb this afternoon, using my R9 flametop and my Buddy Holly tribute Strat.

Nice.
Can you Define the "SpankMaster?"
I've got a big SpankMaster, SuperSixReverb... much to much spank in most places.
Pics or this thread is useless.

Re: The What Amp did you play through today Thread
This is a Spankmaster Reverb......

(shown in comparison with its little brother, a stock '68 Deluxe Reverb with a JBL D120F)
The Spankmaster is a conversion I dreamed up about ten years ago that mates a DR chassis to a 15-inch JBL D130F, wrapped in a taller custom-made cabinet. The version shown is #2 of six that I've built thus far -- four for clients, two for myself. The other one is a blackface re-issue chassis with blonde/wheatstraw cosmetics.

My Big Spanker...

6L6GC, or 6V6GT, I'm glad it never has to move again.

D130F... one of the best... ever!
Very nice.

Yesterday I practiced through the Mojotone Princeton Reverb clone that I built a couple of years ago.

I recently started gigging again so I re-strung MIM '50s Classic Series Strat, a 2013 PV '52 Reissue Tele and played them both through a Mustang III (mainly for the tuner) and a Blues Deluxe reissue.
The kit sounded great, my playing, well, not quite so...

1989 Fender M80. Remember? Originally covered with grey carpet. Ugh. Retolexed with light blue.
Will be used alongside a Fender SuperChamp X2 in Surf Green for my daughter's wedding August 1st!

Frame off restored 64 Ampeg Jet or custom 12 watt semi clone of a Matchless Lightning. I dig small amps, and these things give me the cool clangy Keef and squishy Neil type tones I love.

Re: The What Amp did you play through today Thread
I grabbed my Les Paul Special and gave it a run through these two...'66 Bassman and '63 Reissue Reverb Unit!

For me last night it was my 5F2a / Philco and a tele.

Re: The What Amp did you play through today Thread
At today's work lunch jam I use my 5F1 tweed Champ clone. The guitar was my new Epiphone ES-335 Pro. I used a Rat pedal with them. It didn't suck.

Re: The What Amp did you play through today Thread
I keep it pretty simple CoyotesGator! I like me some clang and a little grind, nothing too far removed from Keef, Neil, or John Forgerty. They call it "alt country" now... But it's nothing new, cool stuff, just not trying to reinvent the wheel over here.

Re: The What Amp did you play through today Thread
New lo-volume hi-coolness practice rig...
http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...ngle/Voxy2.jpg
Set up in the corner of my vintage books/vinyl/guitars reading/listening/relaxing room.
http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...ngle/Voxy1.jpg
What they are: 3 Vox Pathfinder 10 amps - one a Limited Edition... the red ones were $70 each and the British one was like $85.
I'm running them split in three signals -
1. dry signal, in-and-through my Zoom G3 processor (taking the XLR out to a 1/4" cable end)
2. Zoom G3 processed - Left out into one red Vox
3. Zoom G3 Right out into the other red Vox.
Sounds great, and it looks so darned cool. Not terribly loud though - I'd have to mic one of them to use them live. But this way I can leave my gig amps stored and just use them when we play out.
Don't they look so cool and neat?
-

HELL YEAH. Most certainly a hi-coolness practice rig. Pretty geeky there on the splitting/processing :salud:
I bought a Path-10 off craigslist for $20. Neat little package.

Geeky indeed. I call it my tri-stereo rig. Which is of course a misnomer.
But it's literally the only way I could split the signal with the gear I had on hand...not gonna buy an A/B/C amp splitter box for a lot of ducats when it's just for home use.
OTOH - I do sit around and think about schemes for running signals between devices. It's kinda like counting sheep. I plan out elaborate guitar rigs. :D

Re: The What Amp did you play through today Thread
Just these old things today!

Got the Space Echo running really nice just now, they can be a little temperamental from time to time.
'64 JM > ZVex SHO > '81 Ibanez OD-855 Overdrive II > '85 Roland RE-201 Space Echo > '57 Bassman clone I built a while back.

Speaking of SHO...
I have a Super Hard On just looking at this rig! :D

Is it due to the original Space Echo footswitch I tracked down? That usually does it for me!

If I had to pin it down it's the whole rig - so simple, elegant, and toneful (I can only imagine).

I had one of those for a while- paid $69 for it with an Eminence Tonker speaker! The cleans were nice! I used it with a band. It was easily loud enough.

You're right, it's really simple. I don't even turn the OD-855 off, it just stays on warming things up a bit. It sounds really good at all volumes with the vintage P10Rs really shining when the amp hits 4-5. I swap my main amp quite often but the Bassman is getting a lot of play time at the moment.

I might use the Mesa/Boogie Studio .22+ for rehearsal tonight. Just because I feel like it.

How did the Tonker sound? I have been thinking of replacing the stock speaker for something with a clearer sound.

Re: The What Amp did you play through today Thread
Finally got a pic... So here ya go! My 12 watt Lightning semi clone sitting on top of my 64 Jet. On top of the 2X10 I got a Frankensteined Flip Top sitting on top of my Ashdown. The Mini SVT cab kinda sucks, but it looks cool and is good enough to jam out a little at home.

The Tonker was pretty loud and articulate. I never heard the BC-30's stock so I can't compare, but when I tried the Tonker in my Mesa Express, the dirty sound was crispier and crunchier, really nice, but the clean sound was less fat and round.

That is way too cool!
So many options, wet, dry, mix.....
One has to fed with a delay, right?

Good to know I'm not the only deaf man in the neighborhood.
Very nice setup.
