Help Me Pick a New Amp...Please :)

[texhex]

I've considered one. I have the 50 watt EL34 and 100 6L6.

Did not know that. Your bases are covered.

Anyone have experience with Peters amps?

Tried one or two at an amp fest years ago, pretty sweet

I'm going to do more research on this one.

I've played the Sig X and it was a bit dry and clinical.

I'm a big sig x fan, but I know some people feel this way about them

also consider a pittbull (CL or UL) definitely still dry amps but perhaps less "clinical"

Next amp purchased, 1970 Traynor yba-1a.

Let's keep the discussion going.

Anyone have experience with the Ironheart 120?

Meh. I liked the El84 version better.

 

[Deadpan]

a laney would fit in nice with your stable, a little looser and raw is my gh100s. super thick

Any idea of the different VH, GH and the R, L etc?

Trying to figure out if this is a joke haha, leaning to yes but maybe they did make a 20?

No joke. IRT Studio is 15 watts. I thought the el84s sounded better with than the fullsize Ironheart 120 I had. The GH100 was much better to my ears.

That's interesting. I mostly dislike EL84 for high gain.

Gonna check the GH and VH more.

Me too. That's what makes it even more strange in my case.

i believe the VH is just a GH with a clean channel but im not totally sure. the letters im not sure about, i know they made the "S" i have for a year then it turned into the GH100TI after that, i guess theres a couple different switches or something. it certainly does the iommi sound in spades, it does need a ton of volume though

I see many like the GH50, any idea how the low end compares?

Oh, and a VH140c? Been shopping one of these for awhile.

if you can get a vh140c get one of them, metal machines. the 50w laneys im not sure about, i wouldnt mind trying a 50w though cause my 100 just needs so much volume to really get going, when it does its beastly though

 

[Deadpan]

It arrived. Fully serviced. Time to test it.

 

[spawnofthesith]

Damn that is clean looking for a 54 year old amp!!!

Definitely!

Tried it through a 1x12 with a guitar and it sounds great. Looking forward to cranking it up.

In a fit a gloom with the flu I purchased a GH100L for $585 all in. Hoping it's a good one.
