Tube amps!

[docc 2,306]

There are quite a few of my silly possessions that fall in line with having a Guzzi. I'm not sure what the common denominator is exactly:           analog, atavistic, anachronismal (alliteration!) . . . living long in the lower register?

 

We're bringing this fun topic here from a couple other tech threads so we can be exponentially expressive, even existential . . .

@ GuzziMoto, that Mesa Boogie amp absolutely haunted my sleep for months before I ended up with the Bassman LTD. I'd love to hear it!

 

@moto fugazzi, I hope you re-post your clutch arm here! 6L6?

Not a player or an audiophile for that matter but I am a pretty big music nerd. You guys know anything about vintage/tube receivers?

While some 6L6 tubes have that same shape, it's an actual size rectifier tube.

Here's from a show we played last year at Halloween. Marshall JCM800 Bass amp with a 1971 Fender Precision Bass. This years show should be interesting...we're playing White Zombie songs, and I get to be the bass player from that band, which happens to be a girl.

Im just catching this. Im a bit of a gear whore. By the way, nice Bassman.

My current amps are a Fender 63 Bassman, a Fender HotRod DeVille 212, a Club Classic 30, Vox NT-15 NightTrain and an Orange Crush 35 as a beater. " Cheaper than drugs and hookers" is what I tell the girlfriend. Here's some of my firewood.

 

 

Guitars and motorcycles... Expensive hobbies...lol

I'm seeing a lot of stuff that rings true with my V11! I'm lost between jealous and inspired!

 

@moto fugazzi - we've got a guy that does some back-up vocals with us from time to time. Always pressing him to be cuter, curvier, and "better dressed", we call him "Ken-chita."

 

Could be you, baby!

Not a receiver, but I've had an Audio Research CA50 integrated amp in active use for about 20 years (currently driving the system in my office). Arguably the best 45 watts you will ever listen to. In this day and age pair it with a decent DAC and good speakers & you'll be in listening nirvana.

Precisely why I love this forum! Good taste in combustion noise and audio noise as well, who knew...

"DAC?"

Had to google it myself Digital to Analog Converter.

I think I may resemble that remark!

Now we're talking! 

 

Here are some of my efforts...

 

Trevinitone TT15. This is my main gigging and recording amp

 

 

Prototype build pics.  It's a tight fit in the chassis, but sounds superb.

 

 

Another Trevinitone...This one is the TT18
