Luv ma mum. Luv ma valves. Luv ma footbool tearm.


So amps wise.....

Diezel VH4 - 2001
Diezel D-Moll - mid 2010's
Diezel Hagen - mid 2010's (on semi-permanent loan from a friend)
Peavey 6505+ - early 2000's
Marshall Satriani JVM - mid 2010's
Orange Rockerverb MKIII - mid 2010's
Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier - 2018 multi-watt
Mesa Boogie Mark Five - mid 2010's
Fryette Sig:X - mid 2010's
Laney VH100R - pre 2000's iirc
Fender Twin Reverb - 1980's Silverface

If I was going to buy another amp to have recording options, and possibly also model in digital one day.... what would it be???
 
Pimp Amps:

Revv
Uberschall
Helios 100
SLO
Friedman
PRS Archon
Driftwood Purple Nightmare/Mark Lewis
Wizard (or a clone)

Shaggers amps:

Peavey Triple XXX
Peavey JSX
Krank Revolution
DSL
JCM900 SLX
Randall
 
Fender 6G3 Deluxe or clone

Good early Fender cleans with more mids than the BF amps.
Great crunch and more gain than most other Fender amps.

It seems like it would fill some spaces not overly represented in your collection.
 
Probably doesn’t help you buy my Wishlist

Lynx Bad Cat
Fortin Evil Pumpkin
Mezzbarba
Redseven
Revv 120 mk3
Engl Savage mk2

There’s more but that’s my goto
 
Seems like you have an epic list, but I'll throw in the EVH Iconic 80 watt, and the Peavey Invective. I love both of those. They're not going to do anything hugely different, I'd think, but they aren't exact duplicates, either.

Maybe a Hiwatt Super Hi? Or an Orange?
 
Uber Ultra.
It’s surprising how many tones it has. The density knob alone changes the feel and tone in 2 completely different ways but useable all through the sweep. Then the metamorph depending on the Doom/Focus/Bright position is like 3 more useable tone shaping changers that all have good sounds out of them. It can be noisy but it isn’t bad and the gain down a bit can get it quiet if you need it and is still a lot of gain. It’s clean is nice and versatile too even though I don’t spend much time there. The boost reminds me of the NOTAKLÖN so I think it’s a pretty clean boost but currently I don’t use it because I like extra low end because I only play alone and it fills the room so nice and you damn sure don’t need it for gain. Maybe on the crunch but not my thing again.

I’ve only had it for a few weeks but as soon as I found some tones, I really liked. It’s hard to stop and tweak cause it’s just so fun to play.

The little bit of tweaking I’ve got to do so far are the tones in my head, not one single tone, but many many tones.
 
Seeing the list and seeing the 6505, the Orange, the Recto and the Diezels.

You’re a metal guy.

HERBERT. MKII. KT77s.

Get it. I’ll expect a PM later this week with a thank you.
May I sub-respond before we finish? Years ago everyone was all over the VH4, but now I'm seeing a lot of love for the Herbert. What's the core tone like? AKA, what amp does it sound like (ish)?
 
lots of fun amps. you need a proper dr504, a plexi, a bassman, and something single ended like a champ.

nothing wrong with what you have- but youre missing all the raging nmv fun. and a hiwatt.
 
You seem to be missing one of your fav digital amps. You need a revv generator dude.
funnily enough, I have one sat in the studio! It is a bit poorly right now, and it isn't mine. Owned by the other Summerisle guitarist. He just got it recently, but it's with me to take to my tech.

Definitely need some recordings and your thoughts after you get it back. I'm not a high gain player by any stretch of the imagination but I loved the generator models in the Helix.
