The 15 Most Desired Amps.

[noodleplugerine]

Actually I really want a $%&#ing $%&#er aswell - They're probably awesome.

It sounded rubbish on those YouTube clips, but they're probably not reliable examples.

Even if they do sound rubbish - I bet they're a load of fun.

[FELINEGUITARS]

Can the list include other peoples amps?
If so :
Brian Mays favourite trio of AC30s
Eddie's original Plexi
S.I.R. Stock  39 Marshall modded by Tim Caswell (used by Lynch & Slash)
Randy Rhoad's original white Superlead
Dave Meniketti's  1974 Superlead
All of Steve Steven's amps!!!!!
etc

Failing that :

Tim Caswell 39 (motorised knobs!!)
Mark Cameron modded Marshalls - both Jose Hi Gain and Aldrich mods
Bogner Shiva
Egnater Mod 50
Randall Lynchbox (a bit superfluous after the Egnater but I like it)
Splawn Quickrod
My old 1965 Marshall JTM45 back again
Martamp V6-20
Rivera Knucklehead
My rack system completely finished off (ADAs, Soldano,Engl, TC Electronics,  plus MEsa Triaxis, Bogner Fish preamp and Soldano X99 motorised preamp)
Denis Cornell Romany Plus
Fender Supersonic

[March]

I already own most of my desired amps.

64 VibroVerb
1959 Superlead (73)
Bogner Ecstasy 101B
Bogner Duende
VHT Pittbull

Quite fancy a Bogner Ecstasy Classic at some point soon, the redesigned Matamp King Street and a Dr. Z Maserati GT.

Might get the Z next month...

Amp GAS, it's the non silent killer! :D

Undoubtedly!  Have you seen the graphics up close?  They're remarkable, but quite... disturbing:

Would that be a Brown era Super or a Tweed era Super or not a circuit clone at all?  If Martin does a Brown era Super (6G4) i'd be very interested

If you can get the schematic for the Brown Super, Martin can build it for you.

I'd have a Tweed Super, like this one on his site:

I'm fairly sure Weber do a kit of that amp - get the bare bones from them and the transformers from Mercury Magnetics for the truest reproduction to the original transformers.  Some Weber speakers would complete the picture.

Mojotone sell repros of the cabs too if you get stuck and you should easily find someone who makes a faceplate repro on ebay.

I used to have a '66 Twin with JBL D-120s and it was the loudest mofo you've ever heard and also the heaviest amp my back has ever encountered.  Sounded great cranked, but the sweet spot was with the amp on '8' (ouch!!!)

Diezel Herbert x2 (for stereo)

[PhilKing]

I have too many amps really, but if I was in the market with unlimited money I would have the following on my shopping list:

Bruno - Pony 50
Splawn - Quickrod
Carr - Mercury
Divided by 13 - FTR 37
Mojave - Coyote
65 Amps - Monterey
Victoria Amps - Regal II
Ceriatone - Plexi 50 Bass
Marshall - Vintage Modern 50 + Full Stack (you have to have a full stack or 2 in your fantasy line up)
Matamp - 1224
Vox - AC30H
Ampeg - B15N
Fender - Blackface Deluxe Reverb
Watkins - Dominator
Selmer Truvoice - Triumph Reverb

The last few are all vintage amps, and other than the Dominator, I have owned them in the past, and sold them on (I still have a blackface deluxe cut down into a head).

15? crikey!

these are in no order, by the way...

engl savage se or se (have the savage se; both are great for a wide range of tones and would be my choice if i could only have one amp)

brunetti xlr-evo
cornford
soldano (only tried the avenger; i assume the slo is even slightly nicer)
bogner ecstacy
cornell
thd flexi 50
mesa roadking
splawn (haven't tried; i'm basing this on soundclips, unfortunately)
diezel
vht

obviously vintage fenders, marshalls, voxes would be cool too... (i'll make those my #12-15)

i'm not sure i need 15 amps, haha. also i've cheated above and not always listed models as I haven't necessarily tried all the models by a certain brand... also, there's a bunch of boutique brands which i've never been able to try... carr, fuchs, /13, mojave etc. etc. etc. and while I'm sure they're great, I can't really say they're on my list without trying them (i make an exception for the splawn, as i play a lot of 80s rock and metal, and it's, from all i hear, aimed at that). :)

I've got an old Watkins, I think Its a Dominator. I've had it since 1981.
