Tube Amps!

By the way, my other favorite Fender amp I alluded to above is the blackface Concert. '64, if we're going ultrageek today.

Following up on a couple of things from a few months back. I did some swapping around and got a Mesa Boogie F50 combo and a Weber Mass attenuator.

The Weber Mass works freakin' GREAT. I have gotten my best recorded guitar tone by using the Mass and recording via the DI output. I almost can't believe how well it works. You can play and have the room volume be comfortable and yet get sustain/feel like you are melting the paint off the wall. I'm not even using the 'tone circuit' feature on the Mass, as it sounds real flubby to me, just direct and tweak on the amp to set the sound.

Just picked up an Ampeg Super Rocket yesterday... There was no reason AT ALL to bring in a 2x12 100w amp into the house, but I still maintain that these guys are undervalued. Great amp although I'm going to be saying "can't hear. what did you say?" for the rest of my life.

the deluxe reverb i got upthread is probably one of the best bits of gear i've ever bought

The shop has been blessed with craptons of magnatone amps for some bizarre reason over the last year and man, I am obsessed with that fm vibrato.

I just wanna spam this thread with crazy tube amp shots from the shop now. You guys have to see the crazy titano rebranded magnatone we got in recently.

Why don't we have an imm crazy vintage weirdo picture thread? Maybe I should start one.

zero to galleries of weird Soviet synthesizers in 10 posts.

All guitars should be shaped like America.

Oh wow...it's kind of weird seeing posts from 7 years ago. I still got the F50, but my haul of stuff has changed quite a bit (and expanded). I got a few cool vintage instruments but mostly stuff from the 70s and 80s.

Tell me about (new) Magnatones! I kind of want one of these, but it's super expensive. Are the cheaper ones good?

I've also been thinking about a Fender Deluxe or Princeton, but their sound is so ubiquitous and this seems to have a different sonic character that I like.

I would like one of these

I got excited and thought this was a home stereo tube amp thread. Sweet amp, though!

so my vox ac15 is being weird. the master knob doesn't do anything. i can still get some volume out of it by using the normal or top boost level controls, but the master seems broken.

any ideas?

Anyone out there familiar with / have any opinions on Tyler Amps?

Welp, anyway, I wound up buying a gently used Fender 68 Custom Princeton Reverb and it's fantastic
