It depends what I'm doing at the time.
1964 Fender BF DeLuxe non reverb
1965 Fender BF Champ
One of those Vibroverb reissues like Kevy has.
(Modified, has a 10" and a 12" Jensen in it)
Peavey Classic 30 with a Jensen P12Q in it.
or a Roland MicroCube.

I really like my Roland Micro cube... great practice amp... and I've run it into a direct box from the headphone out, and then off to the soundman. It sounds incredible through a real p.a. It sounds like a monster that way. My favorite setting is the JC Clean... I think they nailed that sound.

Oh and Tony, I don't know if you saw it but I built a speaker box with a 10" vox guitar speaker and a 12" Jensen MOD in it, after reading
through the conversation you had with Kevy about the Vibroverbs. Thanks for the idea. It sounds great when I play my Vox VT-30 through it.

I've really got to get around to taking pictures of my rig.


I've got a '77 Marshall JMP 2203 which is godly, but also stupid loud.

I've also got a little early '60s Silvertone 1481 which is a lot of fun. It's sorta a poor-student's Tweed Champ but it's not quite the same--it's a bit less saturated and more open sounding, not to mention suuuper touch sensitive.

I never mind re-hashing threads like this as I find it fascinating to see all the amps guys here use. I have had alot of amps in my day. Back in my gigging days, I played thru a DSL50 with a 1960A half stack. It served we well for years and I held onto it for decades until maybe 6 months ago when i finally sold it. I've become somewhat of a small amp junkie so here is my current goto amps:

orange thunder 30 combo - love the tone for classic rock!
mesa subway rocket reverb - great little amp and especially nice for blues
vox night train with matching greenback 1x12 cab - gets a good beatles tone
microcube - cheap and gets some suprisingly good tones plus battery power is handy
traynor blues 50 2x12 combo - built like a tank and great volume, takes pedals well

i use a 1968 fender bassman through a late 70's fender open back 4x10 cab. for under a grand i got tone for days! my bassman's name (i name all my gear) is "the worlds loudest ashtray" as it has over 12 years of cigarette burns on the tolex. once you name them it's real hard to let go!

1988 Fender Red knob 'the twin'

Usually with some Tube screamer variety. It does everything, and everything well. And loud.

For practice purpose I use a Marshall G50 rcd.

At church I have mine through my Fender Vibro-Champ XD which is running into the PA System. When playing with the Praise and Worship band I am in I use a Fender Pro Jr. going into a Marshall 4x12 Cab that is mic'd. With both I use a Line 6 POD XT Live that I switched to after using a bunch of single stomp boxes. I prefer the POD and sold the stomp boxes. I will be getting another Morley Mark Tremonti Wah though the Line 6 Wahs aren't that great. I will be introducing a Digitech GNX-1 when I play with my band since it has the Whammy effect and I can set it for a couple of different delays.
