« on: May 21, 2006, 04:19:32 PM »
I was moving a few things around and I had a couple of my amps in the living room.  So I thought I would just take a quick picture and let you see how tidy I keep the house!

The amps are (from top left sort of clockwise),

Red MiniMat with Mojotone Alnico 10" in old Fender Princeton cap
Princeton Reverb II (Rivera design), with Tone Tubby 12" Alnico
small recoding rack case with Rockman footswitch on top
Marshall Silver Jubilee 50 combo with Celestion Sidewinder
Purple 12" open back cab with Eminence Blue Tick Hound
Blonde 10" open/closed back with Mojotone ceramic
gig rack (I want to set this up for recording)
Blonde 10" open/closed back with Celestion
Lexicon Signature 284 (all tube stereo 3w amp), with 10" Eminece Ramrod and Delta Demon speakers in combo cab
Purple 12" closed back cab with Eminence Wizard
In the middle
Origianal Backface Princeton Reverb
Rack with
    Rockman Rack mount (and echo/chorus unit)
    TC Electronics G-Major
    Korg Rack Tuner
    DBX Recording Preamp
    John McIntyre SP3 Recording amp.  This is the prototype for the
            Signature 284.  This has one 6V6 and one EL84 and also includes
            reverb and footswitchable boost.  It is driving the 2 Purple cabs
Needless to say, I will get grief about this being in the living room, but it is great fun to have it all there, and it makes comparing tones easy (just ask Ben).

nice stuff...and your guitars too...slightly jealous here! :)  :)


Do you mind me asking Phil - please don't take offence here  - but how do you actually manage to acquire so much stuff?

Hi Willo, no offence taken, I just have had a good job for a long time and have tried to hold onto things when I bought them.  I also have been invloved in music retail in the past, and used to go to NAMM regularly.  I have also lived in the New York area since 1980 with lots of trips back to England.  Probably not least of the factors is that I am getting on a bit now, but have never had kids, so I only had to buy toys for myself!

I like the idea of having the Marshall Sivler Jube downstairs with the rest of em.  Of course, Phil hasn't told you guys that this isn't all of his amps! Phil can be tricksy like that ... I think we're only seeing roughly 1/2 to 2/3 of his amps here!!

I like the new avatar, too Phil!

It is really great - I can crank it in the room and get a wailing sound without driving everyone else mad.  However I think I want to get a 1x12 with a G12H in it, because it sounded great through that a the factory, and the 10 doesn't have quite that bottom end of a 12.

Yes, the kitchen table in guitar rebuild mode!  I have a LP junior, a Japanese Hank Marvin Strat, a Warmoth with a Feline neck, a Coral Pink hardtail strat and a Mexican strat, all in bits on it!

The shitee thing with many guitars is that you can never keep em all nice and tidy, have fresh strings on em and setup adjusted to weather changes.

That's why I think 1-3 guitars should be it....  well, I have more but only play 2 or 3 regularly.
