Yeah, but I don't own all those now (wish I did.... then again where would I store them?). This wasn't a bragging thread, just a bit of light hearted humour to see how many guys actually use or have used full stacks seeing as they seem to have died a death. Only own 2 amps now (3 if you count the tiny bass amp) so come fella's.... lets see them!

Yes - I think it was one of the first things he that got him into building cabs. Apparently it had been empty for quite a while so I got a good deal on it. He did an excellent job adapting it to fit the Martamp based solely off my measurements - it fits perfectly and is absolutely stunning! He's a good guy and I highly recommend his work.

The same goes for Martin at Martamps - top guy, top quality amps!

Cool... I've got a 4 x 10 too and it's the dogs and like you I can't recommend him highly enough! Once I'm sorted with a few problems I have right now, Martamps will be hearing from me.... not going to be anytime soon but I've heard so many good things about his amps I owe it to myself to "have a look" :wink:

First thing:it's beautiful,really :)!Very well built too.I don't use the combo alone,it really needs the 4x12 to sound right to my ears.It took me some time to understand how to get the best of it .It's very sensitive to different tubes.The first channel is awesome!I can get all kind of cleans thanks to the two modes:clean & pushed.Clean mode gives you one of the best "fenderish" clean you can dream off.Very glassy and impressive with EL34's or EL84's 8)!I use the "pushed" mode to get some really fat cleans,ideal for solo's etc.Right now,i use KT77's and,in that mode,it gives me a lot of versatility because it interacts so well with pedals.OD's sound huge !In fact,the KT77's helped me a lot to find my tone with this amp.But it's difficult to get the 3 channels sounding good with the same tubes :? I would say it's a quality amp but difficult to dial. Cheers :D!

Unfortunately I can't seem to find any pictures of when my rig had other amps (Sovtek Mig and Laney VH100R), so these two will have to do :)

Probably about a year ago: Two JCM900s and a pair of 2x12s:

And now, 2x Laney Klipps single 2x12 cab:
