If you could have any 10 amps what would they be?

O.K. I said I didn't want to or NEED any more amps but a Ray Butts Echosonic would be nice.

I'm sure my wife Lisafurr would want that MONSTER 32x10"[...yes 32 10'S!!!] Ampeg rig that they made years ago.
 
EDIT: Trainwrecks are the same way, except there are far fewer and they are no longer being built. I think the guy who built them passed away.



He did. Back in the nineties, if I remember right.


As for Dumble, there are a lot of issues involved, and they are fine amps, but not to my taste. It's the whole Larry Carlton/Robbin Ford connection, as much as anything, and the fact that you have to audition for him to get an amp. The problem with the clones is that they all clone one particular amp, and Dumble (what the fuck is his name? It used to be Howard, but now apparently he wants to be called Alexander?) makes each amp to suit each player so they are all different. Also, most of the clones don't have nearly the build quality.

But he's the worlds second biggest asshole (at least, I assume there is a bigger one somewhere - I don't know where, but somewhere), to the point that Jay Graydon (the guy who played the solo on Peg) once tried to run Dumble over with a car. Apparently he didn't think Graydon was good enough to get an amp. I've heard him called "The Amp Nazi." "NO AMP FOR YOU!!!!!"

No way would I want ten amps hanging around!

I'd start with a Gibson GA-79-RVT, this time one where the reverb doesn't cut out all the time due to a bad transformer that's unobtainable. :eek:

Then I'd probably add a Matamp 2000.

A Fender Champ or a Gibson GA-5.

Finally one of those little single ended boutique amps where you can swap out the tubes. Probably doesn't really matter which one.

But I really don't have complaints about my Traynor Custom Reverb and Bass Master. Parts aren't so hard to come by. :)

Cheers,

Otto

Traynors are AWSOME amps.
 
Hmm. I don't know that I'd really want 10 amps. I'd have to add a room on to my house to accommodate them.

I've already got some of what I want (I actually have a couple more than these, but these are the only ones to make the list):

Matchless SC-30 (original Matchless Company with effects loop added as a factory mod)

1964 Fender Champ (tweed circuit but in black tolex - volume only and goes to 12)

Fender Super Champ

Late 60s Ampeg B15N Flip Top

I'd like:

Fender Black Face Vibrolux Reverb

1965 Marshall Model 1958 18W combo

AER Domino acoustic amp (jeez those things sound nice for such a small package)

1965 Vox AC30 Top Boost


I'd settle for that I think:D
