Hypopeticalpy - what would my next amp be?

[2dor]

That Uber Ultra does look bloody cool.... super expensive tho!

Ain't cheap that's for sure but it covers a lot of ground. Bogner recently posted a pretty cool walkthrough of that amp & went a bit deeper into how it works / is dialed in etc

It really depends on so many variables, but IMO no amp collection is complete without a stock 2204/2203. That circuit does some incredible stuff, features unique and iconic tones, will love your LP, and mixes incredibly well with other amps.

I personally think a 1987/1959 might be a little too vintagey for your preferences.

Used they are not too bad. Got my EL34 version for $2500, not cheap but I am happy with the purchase. It was about 6 months old from the reciept the owner showed.

Maybe something Vox based? I think you have your Mesas and Marshall flavors covered and then some.

PS. How's that Diezel Hagen?

Mess boogie Fillmore 25 head

Why settle for a Bugera when you can have a Behringturd with built in effects AND real Tube modelling!

 

[FuzzyAce]

You need a raging Blues machine.
So definitely a Peavey Bandit.

For high gain, an ENGL would sit nicely in your collection, without overlapping too much with what you have. I'd suggest a Blackmore or Artist Edition.

For classics, Vox AC30. You already have Marshall, Fender, Mesa. The Vox rounds up the "big 4" classic tones. .

I don‘t think Orv‘s an ENGL guy. A Blackmore or AE could definitely add a different flavour to his collection, but they are quite scooped and I guess the Fireball or Powerball II (which is my favourite ENGL) would be more suited to the thick and rich tones he likes. Actually, I can imagine that the Steve Morse Signature could suit him well.

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???

High gain is more than adequately covered here, you need a good JTM in the mix. Maybe a Dirty Shirley.

I say get the one you are not aware of yet, the one that you will inevitably fall into and become smitten by.

@la szum is saying get off the internet and just go play everything local!

For sure, the iconic amps will always be iconic. I am getting smarter ( I hope! :lol) in my increasing
years of tomfoolery, and now realize that me chasing outlier amps in search of a unique flavour, or
something I will bond with, is not going to happen.

We can do pretty ok with a Bassman (vintage Fender), a Vox AC, a Marshall Plexi/800, a Mesa Mark (or 3!)
and calling it a day.

Not to mention I think we can all get more mileage out of amps in a recording environment
by layering them and sometimes even doing so with non-metal/rock-centric choices.

Great idea!!!

 

[Jarick]

A Soldano.

First thought was Soldano X88IR, not fully an amp but integrates to digital nicely and does MIDI. Maybe I'm just projecting though!

Are we talking gear here, or something else?

 

[la szum]

Hahaha!

I am a big fan of serendipity---whether you have some great gear already or not.

Sometimes you just end up falling in love when you least expect it.... and after you
have already swiped left and right until your hands are numb and tingling.
