Do I really miss amps I can't actually use to their fullest potential these days?

I am thinking of you Block Letter 5150.

Back in the late 80s I used to trade Marshall plexis to collectors in other countries. I should have kept at least one . You could get them in junk shops for less than £100 because nobody wanted them. Park and Orange also very cheap. £50 -£60. All worth 4x+ anywhere else.

Why would you do this to me?

MkIIc+ combo. Bought for $350. Sold for $400. Had returned to the East Coast after living in CA for a bit, and didn't want to trouble my roommate with shipping it.

VHT100CL

I've had the 100 and the 50 along with an early 1994 Ultra Lead.

There was no comparison to any of them. The 100CL smokes.

Would still love to try an updated UL one day. I do see the 100CL available once in a while so it isn't like a CCV that you just can't get for example but I loved that amp, regret selling and one day would like another.

Back in late 80's, went to local guitar store (not Guitar Center) to buy a 100W Marshall half stack.

They first told me they had an old plexi 4 holer for sale, but I wanted new.

Walked out with a JCM800 2210.

2210

 

[Night Stalker]

I've bought and sold a lot of amps over the years, and the only one I sold that I wish I still had was my Soldano HR100+. I sold it mainly because I couldn't get along with the Soldano loop. If I had kept it, I could have had the loop modded (fixed).

 

[LeftyLoungeLizard]

It (2210) worked well for what we were doing back then.

But the point is I coulda had a plexi for roughly the same $.

I miss my VibroKing periodically and even contemplate getting another but then I remember it was 90lbs and crazy loud.

Maybe not quite in line with the topic but I saw a Ground Zero MOAB on Reverb a few months back (which is a very rare thing to pop up in the EU); exchanged a few messages with the owner but hesitated..when I had my mind made up - poof - it was gone

 

[maguchi]

What amps do you most regret letting go of? If you could get just ONE of them back, what would it be?

Thinking about so many amps from the past I wish I still had today…

Marshall 1987 Head with a 1960A cab, a Marshall JCM 2000 50 watt head with a 4×12" cab, a Fender '65 Twin Reverb reissue, and a Fender '65 Super Reverb reissue
