Amp list. What do I need to fill out the collection?

[zekmoe]

Ok, I have some decent amps, although not as well rounded as my guitar collection. What would you say would be a couple of good amps to fill out the line? I'm not looking for collector amps, but amps for their sound. A reissue Deluxe Reverb with a new speaker is as close as I have to get. The vintage thing doesn't matter to me, although I will go that way if it's the only way. (Ceriatone as well) I do mainly home recording in a decent home studio, and like having the real thing to record with. I also do jams here and away and always like to bring new stuff. My current amps are:
Matchless DC30 (fave)
Drz Maz18 Jr (close 2nd)
JCM800 50 watt single channel head thru Mesa 2-12 recto
Orange OR80 thru orange 2-12
Marshall JTM60 1-12 combo
Vox Pathfinder
Clark Beaufort
Vox Valvetronix
EPI Valve Jr thru an Earcandy 1-12
I'm not much of a blues guy, and consider myself between roots rocker and hard rocker. What else would you get to fill out the sound palete choices? I'm looking for classic sound examples of the genre. Lower wattage the better (No Marshall Majors!). I had a reissue Bassman and sold it. I chickend out on a Bogner Ecstacy. I'm in the $400-$1500 range realistically.

You need my Harry Joyce Custom 50. It will fill your Hiwatt void and then some.

50 watts is low for me

Fuchs TDS Extreme...

I get plenty of great tones I need. What I'm looking for are more and varied and classic that I don't already have. I have 22 guitars and to me they're all different. I come from the Steve Howe school of guitar collecting. Good playing and sounding examples of each. Not 20 examples of each.

That's probably out of my price range, otherwise I would have bit on the bogner at 3 grand. I'm thinking more of Vox Ac30 CC, Deluxe Reverb Reissue, Vibroking, or one of those Ceriatone marshall clones. Something to vary on what I have TONALLY.

Soldano SLO.

Actually you might end up selling most of them once you get a Soldano

SLO would be nice, but I doubt I'd get one for less than $1500. Again, it's to fill out the sound possiblities when recording and sometimes jamming for fun. Price range $400 -$1500

As a roots rocker, I highly doubt it. An SLO does what it does very well, but rootsy rock? Not IMO.


Dude, go for a twin, or a bassman head or showman. XTC is a nice nice heavy rock amp. Also a great choice.

I see a distinctly tweed shaped hole in your lineup. 3x10 Bandmaster or a 2x10 Super would fit nicely.

[zekmoe]

What's a 2-10 Super? I thought they were all 4-10's and a few of the older ones were 6-10's?

[jezzzz2003]

You definitely need a Blackface, you cant not have a blackface amp.

The first Supers were tweeds (5_4, insert letter for "_") and 2x10. The brown Super (6G4, 6G4-A) is also a 2x10.

The Super line picked up 2 extra speakers along with reverb starting with the blackfaces.

Get a Boogie DC 10! It does both the Fender and Marshall thing Very Well!

[fragglerock]

Rivera of some sort. Just great rock amps. Suprema, Quiana, Fandango, Hundred Duo 12 all in your price range and all killer

I have a 1969 Bandmaster reverb with the big 2-12 Cabinet I will sell....
