are you an amp guy or a guitar guy?

[d1dsj]

Guitars for me, however... I did go through a few different amps until I found an amp that was the right platform for the guitars I have to sound good. A good amp will let the guitars own character come through, a bad one makes all your guitars sound the same IMO.

Allways have stayed with my paul but have gone through orange marshall peavey soldano and right now im set with my mesa mark iv :)

I have to say, I'm more a kebab guy.

I could take or leave the guitars.  Or amps.

I think Amp. I still have all three valve amps that I have bought. My first was my Boogies, Studio pre and 50/50. I got these befor I played guitar.I wanted a valve amp fir my HiFi and came across them at a boot sale. The old boy wouldn't split them so I bought both. I had never heard of Mesa Boogie.About six months later I got curious and bought a Lester copy to try them with. Oh such tone. My Hiwatt I like even more.Although I'm tempted to trade it for a Marshall sometimes,I think I'd miss its glorious tone to much. My guitars I end up swapping,except for the Silhouettes.They are great.

Guitars for sure.  I get really attached to them, and a couple I have are just magical.

Amps are a tool.  I like 'em, I have some, but I can always get another built.  Guitars are harder to replace...

i have way more guitars than amps, but that's mainly because guitars take up less room... :lol: can i cheat and say "Both"?

Dave I haven't seen any of your collection, apart from an Eggle, your Legra and.. something else. With an amp of some sort I think. What do you really have?

[gwEm]

i agree with twinfan, amps are easy to replace, guitars much harder. so i am a guitar man.

but as an electronics engineer i do like amps and tinkering with them. its vital to have the right amp for your sound, much more than guitar probably

[marantz1300]

Play a Squier through a great ampand you'll have  some fine tone. Play a Lester through a cheap amp and you'll have no tone.              :lol:

I really, REALLY want to be an amp guy but it is just impossible whilst living at home.

I have to make to playing a PRS into... Amplitube... or Guitar Rig...

It hurts :(

Doesn't help that i'm a cheap git neither :D i guess thats the traits of the Yorkshire man in me.

[38thBeatle]

Guitars for me.I think it is because I hold the guitar and have a more, ahem, intimate relationship with it.

[_tom_]

Guitars I think. Well, I gas for  them more than amps. That being said I really want to try a new amp right now, hence why I'm considering getting a Blackstar HT5 :)

Adam I feel your pain, when I'm at uni I have to use Amplitube 2 til I move out of halls.. but if I like the blackstar I'll get a 1x12 and move that into the new house I'm moving into for next year :D

Amp guy me, if I could afford it and didnt live in a terrace

[broken cord]

I am starting to lean towards being an amp man. I have my share of nice guitars but the amps are really doing it for me lately.

1-2 Watt - Emery Sound Micro Baby Tube amp
5 Watt - Peavey Royal 8 with Tone Tuby Hempcone speaker
18 Watt - 65 Amps London 18
20 Watt - Koch Studiotone

I've been into the low power lately, it's great for playing at home.
