In response to the request to see the amps, here they are. At the moment there are 3 in storage, 1 at Ear Candy and 1 in the England, they are a black face Princeton Reverb, a silver face Princeton reverb, converted to a hot rodded tweed deluxe (complete with 5881's), the original of the Lexicon Sig 284 - McIntyre SLP3. At Ear Candy they have my 8 watt Marshall clone, it is getting a 2x10 cab and matching head box, and in England, a Boss Colt 50 converted to EL34's. Also my main bass rig is not here, longish story on that so I'll leave it until I get it back!
These are:
Left Stack from bottom
Purple 1x12 closed back with Eminence Wizzard
Purple 1x12 open back with Blue Tick Hound
2x12 Avatar open back with 2 Eminence Tonespotters
Fender Princeton Reverb II with Tone Tubby Alnico Hempcone 12
Yamaha Lacquered wood practice amp - all ss
Middle Stack
McIntyre 4x8 Cab. I am thinking of changing this to a 4x10, even though the 4x8 gets a good sound, I think I could bet a bit better with 10's. It weighs a lot less than the amp!
McIntyre Bluesmaker - 20w version, 2xEL84's, 6 12AX7, 1 5Y3, switchable ss/tube rectifier, triode/pentode, class a/ab. This was at NAMM in 1992 and we were ticketed for being too loud!
MiniMat with 1x12 - 6V6 model, heritage G12M (20 watt version). I listened to all the speakers and this sounded best with the minimat at the time.
McIntyre Tradition Stereo 205RC - 6 12AX7's, 1 6V6, 1 EL84, GZ34, controls include compressor, reverb, harmonics, 5 active tones, master vol for each power amp, lead and clean channel wth footswitch. This is a recording amp, but it is still much louder then you would expect.
Right Stack
Trace Elliott BLX - Bass amp that is great for small NY clubs
1x12 Ear Candy Sovereign with Celestion Sidewinder
Marshall Silver Jubilee 50W with Celestion Sidewinder
Lexicon Signature 284 - recoding amp - all tube stereo with 2 1xEL84 power sections. Designed by John McIntyre
Smokey
Korg rack tuner
ADA Digital Gold mic pre
2 Studio Projects mic pre's.
I have a lot of John McIntyre stuff. I think it all sounds great, but unfortunately he doesn't make amps anymore (though he still has about 6 of mine on his bench!). If you see any of it on ebay, you should snap it up.
