Hi Guys,
First time thread starter here....hoping to get some feedback on trying to get a great amp that becomes the base to my sound.
I'm looking for a versatile plexi style boutique-built amp that has the following capabilities:
- Great cleans/crunch like the KT66 based marshalls (to do Hendrix/SRV styles)
- Gain similar to the EL34-based late 60s/early 70 plexi marshalls (blues/rock sounds)
- Highly sensitive to volume control and pick attack
- Organic/complex/rich/warmth..all those good words (maybe with switchable tube/ss rectifier?)
- High quality build/robust amp
I will run it through a closed quad box, loaded with scumback's version of the GM12 25 watt greenbacks. Mostly run single coil, but also use an LP style guitar at times. Styles of music run from blues/rock & some progressive styles with bit of fusion
Getting a mix of those above qualities might be hard, but I'm currently considering:
- Reinheardt (v50?)
- Germino (55LV?)
- Metropoulos (10/12000 series?)
I'm finding it hard to choose, and its hard for me to get to play them live, so I would love to hear any feedback from anyone that's got some experience with these or what I'm looking for.
Thanks!
