Angry Say if you have more than one amp, does the current amp you're playing turn into

........your favorite amp of all time and it's one you'll never sell?




............. until next week when you pull something else out of the closet and start playing it, then you realize THIS amp is the tone king of all time and how could you have not realized it before??


..... and then the week after, it's something else?




.... or is it just me?

Just think of them like your kids or pets-- You love them all, they're all different, they have their own personalities, and you enjoy spending time with, and playing and working with-- all of them and inevitably they sometimes irritate you too.

Tweedy I've seen pictures of your amps. I'll bet all of them sound killer and a regular rotation is good. Pretty much the way I do it.

i have 3 amps: 67 bf twin reverb, victoria 5112 and a fender 6g2 princeton with a celestion g10 gold.

they are all awesome, and the twin is my oldest friend, but the princeton is without a doubt my favorite sounding amp. i mean, it's not even close.

I used to have a Windsor half stack that has a tone I didn't care much for. Luckily I have a Blackheart HD half stack I'm happy with but sometimes I want to play with the Windsor. Never figured that out.

When I sold it I didn't miss it.

I would just daisy chain them all together (be sure to use a buffer!!1!one! ) and run them all at once at full volume

That way you won't know which one is your favorite, you'll love them all!

Be sure to set all amp volumes up full, and then break the knob off. No reason to use any other setting.
