Vox AC30CC2x (combo with 2 Celestion Alnico Blues)

Egnater M4 preamp with D/D, VX, SL2X, and COD modules, paired with a Randall RT2/50 power amp running into a 2X12 cab fitted with Celestion G12K-85s.

A broken Matamp GT-100, a relic from the '70s.

Edit: I also use a POD XT Live through studio monitors.

Thanks!

I picked up that Club Royale a couple of years ago from a music store that got it from an estate sale....it's a 1997 edition, and was very clean, like new.
I had it for like a month, and then power tranny died. :(
I sent it to Brian Gerard at Top Hat, and he had it for a couple of months 'cuz the power tranny was a special order, and they sent the wrong one first time around, so he had them build another one.

He felt bad it took so long, he turned around and upgraded some other components to imporve the amp, free of charge.
It sounds super sweet! :cool:

guitar:

-Sovtek mig-30. The BEST buy I've made so far, and my favorite amp, fronted by a Koch Pedaltone for distortion. Fat, creamy compressed sound with BALLS when cranked past midway on both inputs. heavenly.
-Sovtek Mig-50H. The worst deal I've made, paid way too much, and it sounds like ass when cranked. Serious disappointment.
-Spetel 100w. Bought from a dude I know, old, even vintage. Hand made P2P amp from russia. decent gain, even for metal. lacks balls...
-Novik mk-120. Younger brother of the Spetel. 120watts P2P russian tube amp. Really high-gain. Balls/bass plenty to go around, stupidly powerful, never got to play past 1 on volume. Any sound I want...
-Phaez 2x6l6 Daisycutter. A nice amp, plenty of gain, suitable amount of power. Have gigged with it. Canadian P2P handmade tube amp. Pretty good, some hi-end raspyness and lack of "oomph", that makes me prefer the Pedaltone/mig-30 setup.
-A Peavey 2x12" and some nameless but nice 4x12" cab.

Bass:
-Ashdown ABM 500 evo II-head. Served me well.. thinking of somethig for a backup. Or a tube amp with some overdrive.. too much dinero..
-Custon made 2x10" plus 1x18" cabs.
-Waiting for a custom 2x10" cab, that I can stack on the existing 1x18" OR take on a smaller gig by itself.

edit: oh yeah, ofcourse, a batterypowered Pignose. :D
