Re: What's your amp history?

Cool thread idea.

1980 - 1990:  Fender "75" amp (75 watt tube amp, 15" speaker)
1990-1992:  Fender Princeton (bought used)
1992-1992:  ADA rack preamp, rack amp, upright 2x12 cab
1993 - 2006:  Fender Blues Deluxe (usually paired in stereo with a Tech21 TM60)
2006 - present:  Fender Deluxe Reverb RI
2007 - present:  Budda Superdrive 30 2x12. 

I had been only gigging the DRRI and using the SD30 in my studio only, but I've just started using both of them together at shows in sort of a (scaled down) Joe-type scenario.  I put them next to each other behind a plexiglass baffle and crank 'em, switching between one, the other or both with a Lehle 1@3.  It's a great combination.

Re: What's your amp history?

Okay. Joe's list made me laugh quite a lot @ awe. So many amps.

Ive had.. *counts*... three amps!

A Vox Valvetronix AD50
Fender Blues Jr.
Solton head (It sounds a bit like some kind of SLP-clone, just... Better)

Currently Im in the market for a Category 5 JB '68 'Plexi' amp.

Re: What's your amp history?

I started with a 90's Pro Series Evil Twin
Sold it for a vox modeling amp. biggest mistake ever.

Bought another Late 90's Proseries Evil Twin.

I pair the Twin with a Vox AC30.  I get beautiful lead tones with the two amps blended.

If you mix those amps fairly clean with some Fulltone overdrive it is tone central.

Re: What's your amp history?

A short list for me.

I have a crap SS "practice amp" in about 1981, then nothing until 2001, when I got back into guitar.
Then I started with a Roland Cube 30, which is an okay place to start, but tubes soon beckoned.
I never sell anything, so htese are all keepers.
Hughes and Kettner Triamp Mk 2 with quad
Mesa Dual Rectifier with 212 recto cab
Mesa Lonestar Classic 212
Mesa Mk IIC+
Bad Cat Hot Cat 30+ 212 cab

Now i'm pretty happy, all bases covered. 
I'm on the lookout for a nice Marshall Jubilee head , but I'm not holding my breath.

Music is in the spaces, so is life.

-Roland JC-120
-Blackface Fender Champ
-72 Marshall 100W, 78 412 bottom. Preamped with unbalanced line of-
-Peavey Backstage 30
-Silverface Fender Vibrolux
