Looking for a EL34 amp ... suggestions please

What size of an amp are you looking for?

 

Why, the TopHat Emplexador, of course!

 

Koch Twintone - 50W, awesome crunch channel.

50w JCM800, original not reissue, modded for El34s! Done.

 

What drbob1 said, but in 100w . And, the 2203x reissue sounds pretty darn good.

 

Take a look at the TopHat Emplexador or one of the Aikens. Germinos rock if you dont need a master.

 

Aiken Sabre. I'm hard to please, believe me, but the Sabre is a killer head. It's a stout 50 watts.

 

VHT. I bought a Pitbull 50/212 about 8 months ago and I love it. It has el-34s and covers so much territory I can't believe it. The cleans are great to me and the amp can also get metal, palm muted, chunk, the whole works.

Plus, it sounds good at low volumes. Just a stellar amp in my eyes. I am not one to own a bunch of gear and, thankfully, this baby lets me play different styles.

As you can tell, I'm high on this amp.

Best wishes,

Scott

I have an Emplexador and a THD Flexi.... love them both, the THD gives you, uh, a lot of flexibility! Do a search for "Flexi" and you'll find some links to clips I've done...

if you do a search for "12ax7 comparison" and you'll find clips of the Emplex...

Look under EL34 amps:

Look at the Carr Hammerhead too if you want simple EL-34 tone. It's in your price range.

 

i think the dr z prescription es is great for a thick overdrive tone. i'm pretty sure it's an el34 head. it kicks major butt! i'm surpsied i haven't heard that much about it from the people here. i love mine!

 

The Dr Z Rx uses 4 EL84's
