rockinlespaul · 11-23-2007, 10:18 PM

No, it wasn't painful...

I gave it to a good friend.

It was just an old amp anyways.

Hmm I dunno, I havent found it yet I have a few amps on my wish list, but I couldnt exactly call em dream amps

Monster · 11-24-2007, 12:38 AM

I'd have to pick one made of Unobtainum; probably a Trainwreck, maybe a Dumble. As far as more obtainable amps go, probably a Komet Constellation, the clips I've heard are amazing, and it has a somewhat unusual configuration.

Or the amp on the first Back to the Future movie.

Or maybe one of those Gorilla practice amps I've heard so much about.

6pack595 · 11-24-2007, 01:23 AM

So far, it has been my Orange AD15 / 12. Im always looking for a good toned tube amp. I got a lead on an old mesa / boogie II b im going to track down tomorrow.....

LoKi · 11-24-2007, 02:48 AM

I wouldn't mind having a Slash sig 2555.

Dream is a strong word though. I have so many amps, and they're all spectacular.

I guess an AC30 would be sweet too.

guitarguru · 11-24-2007, 04:09 AM

fender or marshall for me

BOBBO · 11-24-2007, 09:05 AM

InTheEvening · 11-24-2007, 10:05 PM

A Marshall Plexi and a Hiwatt.

DeafDumbBlind Kid · 11-25-2007, 02:15 AM

I'd like my '67 plexi back, with a matching cab with 20 watt celestions.

Since I know who has it now, it is not too likely that will happen any time soon.

So barring that improbability, I think a low power tweed twin is my current dream amp.

loneguitar · 11-25-2007, 05:00 AM

always wanted a Vox super Beatle alas no longer available

lexluthier · 11-25-2007, 05:39 AM

I guess I'm lucky, I've been fortunate enough to have played thru Trainwrecks, Dumbles, Komets, etc...

It would be cool to own a Wreck or a Dumble, but not for the prices they go for. I just don't think they are worth anywhere near the money they command.

I'd like to play though an old Hartley-Thompson preamp someday.

murkat · 11-25-2007, 10:11 AM

I dont have to dream anymore, but wouldnt mind adding to the stable.....
ac30, a couple of blackface's, some hiwatt,..... I cant stop

I'm happy with my Komet and Marshalls.

hedzeppelin · 11-25-2007, 10:46 AM

It hasn't been made yet. An amp that sounds like a Fender twin on one channel and a Marshall on the other....for less than $800.

I know me to, but Pete Townsend absolutely hated them
he was forced into using them on one of his US tours
They are great for Clean playing though

Big Mike · 11-25-2007, 09:17 PM

I'd 'like' a 72 Marshall 50 watt because that's what Grissom had on the first Storyville album and the Joe Ely stuff.

My Reinhardt V50 NAILS that tone though.

That and my Greer Thunderbolt 30....Im desert island prepared.

If i had to keep one, probably the greer. It's amazing.

wunderkitten · 11-25-2007, 10:00 PM

I think around here we are dreaming of a blackface Fender Twin Reverb.

My wife see's my amp everyday and I bet she couldn't tell you what it is !! It must be nice having a girl who knows amps !!

Swordscythe · 11-27-2007, 05:59 PM

Even though I'm a Gibson man in terms of guitar, I am really digging Fender amps. the thing is, a good Fender amp will set you back pretty damn far, so I'll stick with Line6 for the moment, which is (IMO, please don't hate me

) the best bang for my buck.

I got a Randall amp once. Boy, that's a piece of shit amp.

Paul · 11-27-2007, 06:13 PM

hand wired marshall stack JTM45/100

iv allready happy witht the amp iv got my fender sounds great i jsut need to get an extention cabnet for it.

That's almost my '69 Traynor...

4 channel PA head modded for guitar. '59 Bassman channel, '68 Plexi channel, and a cascading Wreck type channel. It's THE BOMB.

Fixxxer · 12-01-2007, 03:44 PM

I would like to try a real trainwreck, to see if it really as good as everyone says.
