I play through a Boss ME-50 that hooks up to a cheap but suprisingly good working Marshall MG30DFX.

I am using a VOX AD15VT, I got a few months ago figuring that it would make for a good practice / home recording amp... And after replacing the stock speaker with one of those cheep little Jensens it is.

I'm currently using a 1976 Champ; but in the next few days I will be picking up a 1964 Bassman (just the head).

I just use a Pignose Portable.

Small (good for not angering the neighbors), good tone, small enough to stick on my bookshelf....I love it.

In the future, I see a Marshall micro-stack...but that's once I get out of apartment life.

Just bought a mint Ultimate Chorus 212. Reverb needs some work tank perhaps. Original owner still had the hang tags and perfect manual...

I've got a Classic 30 upgraded with a Weber Blue Dog and a Epi VJ head into a homemade cab with Greenbacks. And I don't want to forget my Smokey Amp.

Oh, yeah, I quite often plug into my POD Pro and go straight into the mixer. It works really well to do it this way when trying to keeping the volume down or record.

Unlike most Strat players, I play swing and jazz with a clean neck pickup tone on my Strat.

My amp is a fairly new Fender Steel King - 200 clean warm watts through a 15" speaker.

Occassionally I run through a Boss Deluxe Reverb emulator stompbox if I want to add a little fur to the sound.

Well, I must redact this post... the Boogie's sold. I now use a Deluxe Reverb Reissue. I'm actually much happier with my sound these days too. I thought the Boogie had good tweakability and I could always get good sounds out of it, but I was forever tweaking it... It did sound good and was a very flexible amp, but I must admit I'm glad I made the change. I guess my tastes have changed over the years. When I bought the Boogie new back in 92, I was listening to different music (Because of the Internet, I have more access to music I always wanted to hear!). I hadn't really been terribly excited about the boogie for a while, but this DRRI is just lovely and works great for gigs!

I mostly use a Traynor YCV-20 with jj's from eurotubes.com and a Weber ceramic Blue Dog. For playing around the apartment I have a 50's Lectrolab R200b 3.5 watter.

A twin's loud (and Freaking heavy), but you'll probably never look back!

I love my strats and tele through either my Bassman RI or DRRI. If I'm practicing at home I seldom hook up any pedals - I can get enough grit for my liking at lower volumes just by tweaking the tone controls.

I particularly like the sound of my strats with the tone knob at 2/3 and the DRRI with the treble maxed and bass off. Almost like a wah pedal setting and very nice grit.

How do you get the photos to show within the post rather than as a link?

I'm so technologically challenged nowadays that I feel as old as my mother used to be when she couldn't switch her video on!!

'77 Deluxe Reverb somebody turned into a blackface.

I see you're using Photobucket. Just click in the IMG file at the bottom and that will allow you to upload your pictures.

Whatever I'm in the mood for. Here are a couple:



Left is a JTM-45 clone I built for a customer on top of a purple '68 Marshall 4 x 12 w/pre-rolas. Right is my '65 JTM-45 on top of a Blockhead 4 x 12.
