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

Some horse trading and Deluxe Reverb in da house.

To my ears it way mid forward and I like what I get out of my Mark V better, it's an awesome amp but it collects dust for me.

If you play live and need to cut through the mix I am 100% sure this is the better amp or if you play solo's even. I am barley a rythm player and never play with anyone else so I like extra low end.

I's interesting that we guitar players (I include myself) get deep into the weeds when comparing amps, as the Mark V and JP2C are both superb pieces of equipment.

I'm struggling with the fact that I bought the Mark VII thinking I could maybe do without one of my other Mesas - and of course, I could - but for some reason I can't bear to part with them.

I'm not usually reluctant to sell gear. Oh well!

I agree, you play a much wider range of music based on the posts I've seen, so it makes sense that you need more amps for the sounds you're going for.

I hate selling things, but I've only plugged in all three of these amps zero to three times over the past year.I'm trying to keep only the gear I actually want to play.

I have this strange habit of collecting stuff, thinking it’ll inspire me to play more, but then I realize the honeymoon phase never lasts, and I don’t end up playing more because of the gear.

Pretty big year for me doing some amp changing out. Got a Suhr SL68 and Bogner Uber Ultra

I'm guilty of rationalizations like, 'if I buy item A my tone quest will be fulfilled, and II'll never want/need another thing'.

It's a self-delusion in my case. Next Shiny Objects have been known to distract me.
