    Today i have been practicing blues licks through a Fender tweed blues junior Limited Edition with Jensen speaker. It has some of the Bill M. mods which give it a good tone. I am enjoying this amp.

    I have held off responding to this thread, as I knew everybody would be jealous of my treasure!
    I played through it this weekend, and it is a really easy to get any sound you want. I generally dime the amp, and set the level with the guitar, it can be beautifully clean, or really singing! I bought it used in 1968, and carried it with me while in the Navy, rediscovered it about 10 years ago, and went through it, and recovered the cab. Ted recommended his 12A125A speaker, and it is great!

    I have one just like that with virtually all the BillM mods as well. Lovely little amp. Does both BF tones and Tweeds.

    My post was of course tongue in cheek, but I really do like the old amp for low volume applications. Here's a rear view:

    For the last week this one has really hooked me (and reeled me in). Richter RS-33. It sounds really just like a full Tweed Bassman with one 12" speaker. Same controls as a Bassman facing forward. Priced unbelievable low for a boutique. A steal really. And at 33 watts you get great tones before deafness sets in.

    Nice amp renderit. It's similar to a Blues Jr. albeit on steroids. Old school circuitry seems so simple why don't they still build them this way. What is the pedal?

    After a few mods these bj's can really make some sweet tone. This one has the Jensen speaker. It will make sweet vintage warm dirt tone or clean up nicely with a turn of a knob. I am enjoying this amp.

    Re: The What Amp did you play through today Thread

    Last May I bought a much needed upgrade; I went to my local guitar shop quite innocently scored this for Ł589.00;

    A Marshall SL-5 Slash Signature Combo Amp... 5 Watt/1 Watt amp.

    Rockbottom of Croydon said this was the last one for sale in England;
    I would have bought it regardless but, the gentleman was right.
    I went home, found one online and then to my amazement discovered was the very same/ from my local guitar shop and was this amp I bought..

    Which made that all the more cool.
    Limited run Marshall SL-5

    I run my guitars direct through to this. No multi effect required really for what I want.

    Got a footswitch for it from Denmark Street, Soho, London recently, it has reverb so I got the correct footswitch with channel & reverb switches.

    Soco Mahogany P90. I like the fact it is a tiny guitar. I have never been a fan of Bigsby's though...

    Very cool NT!

    Me, not so much.

    Work is crazy, home improvements, heat indices over 105 every day.

    The best amp I've ever heard sits lifeless, cold, and sad atop my favourite 4X12 in the living room.

    A solitary tear slowly runs from its 2nd channel gain knob.

    Last night, I played through my practice amp. It's a Vox AD50VT. I've had that thing for like 10 years now. I set the two channels to something I like (clean and OD) and then use the wattage knob in the back to control volume. I can get the same tone either at ear bleed or mouse fart volumes. When I get tired of those sounds, I simply erase my two presets and make 2 more.... or put it in manual mode. It gives me the illusion of getting a new amp every so often. It's the only relief I have from amp GAS.

    I just picked up another Tech 21 Trademark 10. I replaced the pilot lamp and cleaned the pots and jack and brought it to my weekly Friday lunchtime jam. It sounded great! Not a great clean sounds but some decent semi clean sounds. This amp has kind of a "plays itself" feel. You feel like you can do almost anything with no real fight from the amp. You don't have to work it like the Champ that I normally bring. Overall, I prefer the Champ, but the Trademark 10 is a fun amp.

    These two guys today, with the Strat and my new-ish Les Paul. Saw a thing on the Tim Pierce Masterclass website where he likes to roll off the bass entirely when recording, so I was messing with it today on both amps, and WOW what a difference it makes to fit the guitars into a mix. Also sounds great just practicing/jamming in the studio. I usually dial the bass back to 3.5 or so when I play live, but dialing it all the way out on both amps was killer. Learn sumpin' new er'ry day.

    I'm in the two amp club this weekend too. Stereo'ed out to my two favs - Classic 30 and DRRI.

    Last weekend we did a promo gig for the House of Guitars and we used an AC15. Love those amps too.

    Rickenjangle will love this - the TAMA drum kit that was in the top window of the HOG for decades - we used it! Sounds great even though it has faded from blue to gold.

    I've never played through a Mesa, but I've been impressed by the tones I've heard when I've heard guitarists using them.

    I only use the clean channel on this one it sounds like a blackface bandmaster but with more mids and more headroom. very very clean punchier even than a Twin.

    if you spend the time dialing them in boogies can sound great. they're a little finicky and complicated for me, though. Especially the newer ones. Only boogie I really liked was an early IIb + that was at Earcraft Music in Dover for a surprisingly long time before somebody finally bought it to remove the temptation. I played my '65 closet classic strat through that amp and boy howdie did that sound great. Had a JBL greyback in it. HEAVY. 60/100 watts, four 6L6s. believe me, I thought about that amp for months.

    for the most part, I don't care how they sound the way most people use them. that said, I don't care for how a lot of people set their marshalls either so it isn't really a brand thing.
