Whats your amp?

[Phil]

Anong amp nyo? Post pics or clips? Bakit nyo pinili to? Anong plano mo sa amp mo? upgrade? modify?

[jack in a vox]

i recently overhauled my gear collection.. or shall i say they all got consolidated..

i used to have a couple of amps, but have now sold them all and have gone back to my tried and tested Vox AC30 with blues.

i chose it for its clean, very creamy.. and like i always say "like glass-breaking when you strum a guitar thru this amp. it is very pedal friendly. sounds great when cranked.. very versatile.

i am in the process of getting an AC15 with blues (cant help myself )
gonna see if its better for practices. the only flaw of the AC30 that i can think of is that is friggin heavy!!!!!!

my AC30 is perfect the way it is to me, i wouldnt even dream of modding it, i would rather just buy something else than wreck a piece of art.

okay I'll start.

I have a Carvin MTS3212 combo all tube amp. I spent $812 with tax. I chose this amp kasi I cannot affford my other dream amp (during that time-Legacy)....so I went to my nearest Carvin store and tried it out and liked it.

Pero...after 2 months na bored ako sa sound nya. I am a fan of Satch, Vai, and Vinnie Moore....so I was looking for that sound in my tube amp which na wala talaga. So I decided to experiment with tubes.....long story short...I ended up with EL34 type na power tubes tapos mixed na preamps para warmth na timpla.......after awhile naging bassy yung tunog ng amp...until I went to my friend (sessionista)...he tried it and we found out that the other speaker is defective after 6 months......wow....bad trip....this was a good time for me to try out the very popular Celestion Vintage 30s na speaker....as a result I found 2 for sale sa EBAY taken out from a mind Mesa Boogie 4x12..

Much better...ang combination nang EL34 power tubes + a variety of preamp tubes + 2 - 12" Celestion Vintage 30s ......kuha ko ang warmth and smoothness ng classic rock and 80s metal na sound.

Here's my beloved Carvin MTS3212



and a good clip of the amp....

Original 1975 JC120. The best solid state amp ever. Better than entry level tube amps.....

[kaloyster]

during that time meng...la pang V3. si Markflo and stratman1 sold out sila sa V3. Ever since the V3 came out, I haven't been to the Carvin store. The V3 is Carvin's answer to Mesa.....it can do super heavy gainy sound.....which I'm not into.....but when I do go that side of the woods...I will try it out for myself.

Anong gusto mo sa Flextone mo? Ano ang naka attract sa you sa amp?

Hey guys !

Did I post na ba that there are combo practice guitar amps for sale sa Deeco, 30 Watts solid state, closed back, for only P 1,750 ?

kamalayan. kailangan ba yan i crank up para lalabas ang true tone? seriously? if it works for you then cool. Cool thing about your amp is portability...kahit sa jeep or bus pwede kang magjamming...pwede ding magcarolling diba..may lead guitars pa.....cool na cool.

my own amp is a super-loud, tube-tube sound na marshall... ms-4 mini-amp, hehe.

ganda din ng tunog ng overdrive nya eh, hehe.

pero sa ngayon merong valvestate 8020 sa bahay, pinahiram sakin ng friend ko. ayos din eh. i'm considering buying a fender frontman 15g (since strat din lahat ng gitara ko, baka ok kung terno, hehe).

any feedback on this amp? i checked harmony-central eh, hindi maganda reviews nila, hehe. pero i can get it at 4k lang almost brand new condition daw. oks na kaya yun? pang bedroom lang, hehe. di ko kailangan ng diezel sa kwarto ko eh, baka magiba mga dingding ko, hehehe.

VOX Cambridge 30 Twin reverb. Modded to fix the inherent problem with the  factory spec optocoupler.

bought it kasi "cheap" sa Yupangco sale and for the twin speakers and hybrid  sya.

tini tweak ko pa hangang ngayon. hate tweaking kaya balik ako sa tube dahil plug and play talaga ang gusto ko. sa tunog naman ay medyo boomy pag nilakasan. dadalhin ko sa future EB diyan baka may makahuli ng magandang tone. hopefully me dala narin ako ng V3 or mesa... para me lalagyan ng pagkain...

[leech]

ako ito gamit ko...marshall valvestate 8040....



kailangan ko na cguro mag upgrade na ng amp.... kasi lumalala na yung sakin nya eh.... misan hihina yung tunog....minsan kailangan pang pukpukin para bulamik yung sound!!

From the top: Mesa Mark IV, Mesa DC-5, Diezel VH4S, Mesa Boogie Trem-o-verb 100Watt. I use a combination of the 2 rectifier 2x12 closed backs and a 3/4 open back for the VH4S.

Sorry for the yellowish color:) I don't have a digital camera so I had to ask my brother to take it using his iSight webcam which is not the best but it works. My studio has Ikea Halogen lights above the outboard gear rack and amp heads that provide the only light sources in the room. I got the halogen spot lights to cut down on any possible hum sources.

Currently still hunting down a Palmer PDI-03 to record the heads DI to mix with in addition to a miked input. I would prefer the mid-90s version of the PDI-03 pero walang nagbebenta kahit used. I will hunt around more and see if I can find one, if not, then I will opt for the re-issued PDI-03 and record clips when I get that.
