Have You Bought Any Amp Heads / Combos & Cabs In 2025?

[Dave Lewis]

A friend was round earlier ,He’s been after my very old VOX AC 30 combo for years.
He made me a obscene offer I couldn’t refuse
He then did his back in getting it into his car
So I then went and bought myself a nice new VOX AC 15 custom edition Head and cover

The Mesa Mark V 90 combo and a BluGuitar Amp 1 Iridium Edition.

Cool I didn't know they made an AC15 head! I may have to check that out.

I got a Friedman JJ Junior which I've wanted since they came out. It's really great for clean and higher gain. But I'd like to find something for the mid gain stuff.

single recto that arrived broken so it was returned

prolly getting a dual recto in a month or two.

Just picked up a VOX AC10 hand wired combo.

Also earlier this year got a couple Marshall half-stacks. JCM800 2203 and 2555X Silver Jubilee.

I bought 4x DSL100s. It was a whole thing.

Why did you stop at 4

 

[gearJunkie]

I was fortunate to grab one of the Musicians Friend SDotD Badlander 50 combos.

 

[Night Stalker]

Rivera Thirty Twelve combo.

 

[Dave Lewis]

I bought this outstanding combo in the Andertons sale back in January .

I should have bought two but was to slow.
It’s been in constant use since it arrived

 

[Warmart]

I bought a Fryette PS-2A and a Mojotone 2x12.

Today a Laney Ironheart BCC 60 (UK made) is arriving, a little antsy atm and hope it works as I expect!

2019 Multiwatt Rectifier, JVM 210H, Peavey GB loaded 212 that I swapped in V30s. I had a bit of a rough start with the JVM but I've got my head wrapped around it at this point.

Just the trade of my Shiva for this-

 

[Byrdman]

Bought an Origin 50H for stupid cheap after I showed up and the guy could not get it to work. Tubes glowed and it had a bad hum so he told me if I wanted to take a chance he would sell it for $100. Also threw in a Marshall 412 for $50 to take it all.

For about $175 my amp tech fixed it, biased it, and modded it with Plexi Cap & Resister values on the main board. Really easy to do and only took him an hour to do it. Sounds awesome to me now!

That’s a right good result
People knock the Origin 50 heads but mine has given nothing but excellent service over the last few years without any mods.

F100 is pretty awesome, I used it live for the first time over the weekend. Surprisingly, live I found the gain channel to be almost too midscooped with the contour mode active (even with the mid knob around 8). Next time I probably would deactivate countour mode

Clean channel is like a twin on steroids, very cool amp and I got it for a serious steal

 

[fetishfrog]

If all goes well I may have purchased the deal of the year.

I grabbed a Fryette era VHT Pitbull 50/12 converted to a small box head from guitar center. For $499. It should be here this week. If it’s in the shape the photos and description indicate, it’ll be an unreal deal.
