So I have several amp heads I bought this year fairly cheap. Mostly Bugera heads but a Hughes and Kettner as well. Oh and a Spark to practice too. I’ll list below what I have.
bugera 333xl, 6262 infinium, t50 infinium, and their 1960 infinium(plexi clone). I still play the 333xl and the 6262 as they are awesome! But LOUD AF! The H&K Tubemiester 18 I’ve retubed and sounds good!
what I want is a combo amp that is a classic point to point build! I can wire, solder etc!!! So watching many videos of fender tweed builds and some marshalll plexus clone builds I’m still confused what I should do.
I play almost exclusively classic/makeup Kiss songs, Motley Crue, 80’s metal, AC/DC and that sort of stuff.
Right now my go to rig is my H&K Tubemiester 18 and pedals(tube screamers, chorus, reverb etc....). I can get the tones I want with some fussing. Played though a 4x12 line6 can with celestion v30’s.
I want something portable to take to a buddies to play along with his drums and eventually band practice.
So what kit build do you recommend given my genre of music and would a 1x12 or 2x12 combo be best? The 1x12 seems appealing due to weight etc! Any kits you know of that allow mods such as effects loop and/or allowing plug in to computer
as much as I like the Bugeras, they are PCB amps as is the H&K. I want the point to point build as I feel it would be more reliable and if I ever gig I want something I can bring to a club, plug into and use.
