Get up, come on, get down with the sickness…. List your amps.

I'm gonna milk this 2 Drew's with Orville's thing; technically, if you loan ME the Hagen, if someone asks about it you can be like "Oh don't worry, Drew with the Orville does have it still!" and they'd think you were referring to yourself in the first person. I'll even pay shipping.

Want to say hi to all!

I am new here (thanks for letting me join), and am more of an amp guy when it comes to gear nerd talk.
So I consider this thread a good way to say hello👋

Amps I bought, in "historical" order beginning way back in 1993. I don't own them anymore though ...

- Peavey Envoy 110 (aluminum+ blue stripe) 1993
- Hughes & Kettner Attax 100 Combo (carpet-like fibre coated) 1994
- Marshall JCM 900 4500 Dual Reverb 1995
- Marshall JCM 800 2210 Split Channel 1997
- Marshall Jubilee Combo 2554 1998
- Marshall JCM 2000 DSL 50 1999
- ENGL Blackmore 100 2000
- ENGL Savage 120 2001
- Diezel VH-4 (only for some weeks, didn't like it) 2003

Around 2004 / 2005 I started building my own amps.
I started by mixing elements of different amps together, which evolved to an ENGL like topology over the years but with a kinda marshallized EQ-curve.
This would last until 2015, when I started to built clones of known amps, but often with some smaller changes to make them fit my needs.
So on we go with the list of clones (* = still own):
- Friedman Small Box 2015
- Lunchbox-sized ENGL Savage ch 3+4 topology 50W EL34 2016, converted to Savage specs 2022, converted to Fryette-ish specs (new PCB) 2023 (*)
- Marshall Jubilee 50W Mini Head 2017 (*)
- Lunchbox sized Carvin X100b based channel switcher 50W EL34 2017, converted to hotrodded 2204/Friedman JEL 2021 (*)
- Fryette Deliverance 60 2021/2022 (*)
- Soldano SLO 50W EL34 (*)
- 50W EL34 bastard of Wizard MC Lead and SLO-ish Clean/Crunch (*)

As of today, the two Fryette(-ish) amps I absolutely like best, especially in a band situation.
For home use I also enjoy the SLO (which I modded a little for more tightness in the lead channel), also the Jubilee, and the Wizard/ SLO bastard. All go through a simple reactive load attenuator.

Thanks for your attention and sorry for that nerdy introduction of mine!

Often I forget how good some of them are until they are set back up.

I know many say tube brands don't matter but I disagree. I agree changing the speaker will have more of an effect on tone but if you have everything else ironed the tubes are very important. I would even say they can make or break the whole setup. Not for all amps but some.

Actually my wife, even though she liked country music, was my biggest fan. She not only came to a lot of my shows, she even went with me to see Dream Theater ("There's not many girls here..." LOL) during SFAM, and we listened to the cd on the drive to the show (an hour-and-a-half), and she was really into all the lyrics, you know, because of the story thread that runs through the whole album. (If you don't know, I highly encourage you to check it out- SFAM- Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes From A Memory.
