Your Best Amp?

[Taylorplayer]

Strictly as it applies to you, what's the best amp that you own? I'm sticking with the Carr Mercury I have. I can get great tone from it - good & crunchy - at quite reasonable volume levels.

What's your favorite amp?

Nice Carr Amp!

For electrical guitar amplification, I like my Peavey Delta Blues 1 X 15" anchoring-down my Hamer Studio's tones--I'd love to get a Carr or Victoria amp but I don't play electric guitar enough to be compelled to do so. For acoustic guitar, I love my Bose L1 Model II. For great acoustic tone and real ease of mobility, my VOX AGA150 is darn good sounding. There are so many good choices today for both electric and acoustic amplification that it boggles the mind! It's only a matter of money and preference.

I've got a couple of tube amps for my electrics - Marshall TSL-100 JCM200 and a Traynor YCV-50 (Made in Canada). Both are great but the Marshall takes it into extra distorition territory.

Well lets see, for the electrics its this bad boy



For Acoustics



and then for both I have a booster

Nice choices...

I'm a bit of a fanatic when it comes to amps, which is probably why I have almost 30 in the studio right now, so my "favorite" varies from day to day. I built most of mine, but if the studio caught fire tonight and I had to run through a wall of flame to save one, it would be my 1966 Vox AC30 Top Boost.

My "best" amp is a modified Headstrong Lil' King. 12 watts, 6L6s, in a bigger case. Warm sounding, great jazz amp.

Hi Tp…

Electric - Fender Blues Jr
Acoustic - UltraSound AG-50

My two faves are my blackface Fender Deluxe Reverb w/ Celestion G12H30 speaker and my blackface Fender Princeton Reverb w/ Celestion G12 alnico speaker:

But I love this one too: an original 1951 Fender Super. That's my '54 Tele (w/Joe Bardens) and my 80's G&L (also w/Joe Bardens) leaned up against it.

@Gypsyblue: if you decided to just give me your equipment, I think I'd take it ;-) Wow!

Been playing a long time, and most of my stuff, I've had for a long time.

Carr Rambler (#009) bought when Steve first started making them.

Acoustic- Ultrasound
Electric- I have a Peavey Studio Pro 40 that I got in 1982 or so that has always done exactly what I wanted. I've had a bunch of other amps but I always go back to the simple little Peavey. I never use the "features", boost, bright, etc. I always set the tone controls flat and the gain low (about 2 or 3) and then set the volume for where I'm playing.
