Either my heavily modded Fender Blues Junior or a Blackheart Killer Ant as the valve end of a Digitech RP350 into a 2x12 with G12H30s.   Not 'great' amps by any stretch, but as the B Jr gives me the exact sound I want at the right volume I can't be bothered to buy another amp.

Wouldn't mind a Supersonic or a brownface era Super - but that's looking to the future....

As most already know I use a Martamp-v6-20 for mid gain Marshall tones through a Martamp 2x12" with whatever speakers Martin put in there ;P and soon a Diezel or like when the right priced used one comes around.

Stops the knobs getting turned in transit, as this amp gets lugged all over the place. 

A couple of them are quite sensitive. I run the amp though an Ultimate attenuator, so I use the UA for general volume control, and the 3 channels are matched with each channels MV - so it's useful if I can keep each MV control in it's "matched" position with the other channels.

And also, as you can see, my amp conversions are not based on any aesthetic qualities. It's all just simply functional !

I have a Laney TT-50 head that I changed to KT77 power section...  that I run through a Marshall 2x12 with G12m Greenbacks.

It does everything I need it to with ease, I love having 3 channels and switchable master volumes. Not that fancy or even what I really like but it has pretty decent tone and loads of versatility. Very reasonably priced for all the features too I gotta say.

If I wanted to find "my" tone I'd have a single channel with some kind of boost pedal but it's so easy to use the Laney I can't be bothered changing anytime soon.

As already disclosed on this forum - an incredibely elaborate rig , consisting of :

Customised Vintage VSA 575



Through an AAD CUB G100



with Fishman Acoustic Reverb unit ( if ever needed )



Favourite 'tool of the trade'



Add short Cleartone cable(s)

If ever gigging again ( small scale ) - I would happily just use a D.I. box from the guitar straight into the P.A. instead.

( Try not to die with excitement y'all ! )  :lol:

Blackstar HT5 into a Martamp Hot100 loaded 1x12. Just got a G-Sharp to dick around with. Probably should sort out a box or something for it... I also have a Pod X3 that I run through a Musical Fidelity Hi-Fi amp, a set of Kef speakers and a M&K sub which works surprisingly well.

I have the above Cornell Plexi Seven that I adore.  I got Dennis Cornell to modify the lowest output channel to make it even quieter.  This means I can now turn it up to 8 or 9 in my tiny flat and not get evicted.  Granted the amp sounds best when used on the 2 or 7 watt settings but to be able get grin inducing power amp distortion without destroying the entire neighbourhood makes me very happy.  Perhaps one day I'll get a Romany Plus or a Swart Space Tone as well for less raucous Strat twanging. I can dream can't I?

well, I'm a sucker for vintage Fenders and early Marshalls.

My current amp is an Engl Classic Tube head with a 60's Fender Bandmaster 2X12 with Jensen C12N's.

Sounds like a hot rodded blonde Bassman with some JTM45 influences.
