are you an amp guy or a guitar guy?

[FELINEGUITARS]

Great question

I am so involved with guitars and can have pretty much anything I want - so in a way I have always been a guitar guy

BUT

I have always been into amp tones and got into the whole rack thing in the 1980s - much like a HIFi buff gets into separates rather than all in one stereo units.

The Egnater modular preamp has been a great cure in so many ways as it does nail the flavours pretty well and I can just change module.

My girlfriend has taken to counting amps when she comes round and makes her observations known if the collection seems to have grown (seems the same rules dont apply when I count her shoe collection)

I have and had way more guitars than amps. Currently I have three electric guitars and one amp.

That doesn't mean I don't care about my amp and tone. I've spent alot of time choosing the right amp for me.

I'm a guitar guy. I do love a good amp, but they always feel replaceable, whereas no two guitars are the same.

I think I'm a guitar guy as well. Although I've only had 4 guitars and 3 amps, I've become so much more attatched to my guitars. I'm one of those guys who knows what he wants to sound like and doesn't want to create more than 5 or 6 different sounds, all of which I can do with some tweaking of my current gear.

I love my guitar, and precious few people are allowed to play it who aren't me!

Erm both...

Erm both...

Bingo!  :D

The first electric guitars often came with an amp as a set. Sometimes the amp had no controls, as those on the guitar were seen as enough.

Both together, form the instrument in a symbiotic way.
Each without the other is useless.

..sometimes plus pedals

I was just a guitar guy, now however I am consumed by a need for Guitars, Pick ups, amps and now pedals, when will it end.
I really belive however that better/more gear= better playing!

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?

er... :lol:

ibanez rg1570
musicyo kramer striker
patrick eggle vienna (newer tiggle semi-hollow version)
patrick eggle new york pro
edwards LP standard
Tokai strat copy
legra V

Engl Savage SE
Epiphone Valve Junior Halfstack
Vox pathfinder (first amp :lol: )

several pedals, most of which i don't use, as they sounded good on my old solid state amps but don't sound too good through valves.

Don't tell twinfan, i still want to be able to keep him going about buying too much... ;)

I'd love to be an amp guy, but I've never been able to justify buying a bunch of amps nor have I ever had the room to keep them or ability to run them at a real volume.

So more guitars it is  :lol:
