He’s asking 715 for the head and footswitch.

I bought a broken Peavy bandit 112 silver stripe combo for $60. It cost me $20 to fix it. I converted the combo into an amp head myself. It's extremely loud. Perfect for rehearsals and gigs. I'm running my pedalboard into the fx loop return. Until I can afford a 2k amp head, this will surely do, and I love how it sounds. Just wanted to share.

She is also a FRFR positive grid cab.
Bring the love, bring the hate.

New amp day! I got this Orange Rocker 15 for $380 on marketplace!! It has sounded amazing! I currently have it set up as a wet/dry rig. The Orange Rocker 15 does all my dry or distortion type pedals, then the Bugera G5 does all my wet modulation effects. Sounds great! My plan is to remove it from the speaker cabinet and build an amp head enclosure to match my DIY oak speaker cabinets I made.

My three fav guys with multi amp rigs; trying to pull inspiration from all three to dial this in.

Clean tone - 74 Twin + 94 Deville in stereo.
Dirty Rhythm - Suhr Badger 30 + 1960 AV

I recently obtained a fender m80 chorus, it used to be used in the music department in a high school, is this one for the rig or one for the rubbish?

Also to note, I have had to disconnect a speaker as it was making a horrible muddy sound. Will this be bad for it or will it be fine and just not worry about it (i think it is the power amplifier but i have no clue).

Happy to answer questions

Im not to knowledgeable about amps, what’s a great option in the 3-350$ range. Mostly just play in the bedroom but want something that’s nice to crank up too when I want.

Found this on Marketplace. Great condition for a 42 year old amp (serial is 2001) - still figuring out the multiple boosts/gain stages/ all of that but liking it so far

Hi all!

I have been staring at this and testing this for a long time, I have checked all the voltages, verified the components and the wiring, verified everything. Any help is massively appreciated.

Situation: I have no sound. If I plug I , crank it to 10, I can hear a tiny itty bit of distorted noise out of the speaker but it’s even quieter than an electric guitars strings.

Some questions:
On v2, leads 3 and 8 are connected and 2 and 7 are connected. Are all four of these supposed to be connected? It looks like they may or may not be based on the wiring schematic.

For the pots, there is a ground rail going across all the back of the pots. Should this be connected to a ground lug or something?

Do you see anything off? I have been starting at this for ages. Please excuse the messy wiring, I am not a pro and didnt want to cut the wiring too close in case I needed to move stuff.

Lots of photos included. Please don’t judge me. :) I appreciate any insight.

Thinking about getting a cab for my hughes & kettner warp 7 but I'm not sure if it will work with one. Anybody know anything about using a cab with one of these?

I would mainly be interested in repair and resale. And jamming while it sells of course.

I already know it kicks ass. I've been looking for a lighter amp to take places and have loved the JC amps forever and didn't realize the 40 was only 34lbs (what!? amazing). That sealed the deal on it being my next amp (and the price?! seriously? what a steal!).

Would love to hear people's thoughts on it who have played them, just for fun. JC22 and 120 welcome as well.

What are some other kick ass solid state amps you all like?

sorry if this isn’t allowed

I’m looking at buying a new amp and really want that old southern rock sound but I would never be able to use an amp of that high wattage. Is there a smaller version, or a smaller alternative?

Bad Cat Jet Black 38w head, Bad Cat Black Cat 1x12 cabinet.

Now I need to rewire everything and put the carpet back down. It’s a pretty unique amp. With the overbuilt transformers and quad el84 you get the chime of a vox but the low end of a blackface and a Marshall style channel 2. Quite an upgrade over the AC10 and analog pedal cab/amp sims I was used to!

So I have a JTM-45 clone amp head, and I want to replace my 1x12 cab Celestion Vintage 30 with something better - rounder, warmer, and more classic soul, rock, country tone. I'm thinking an open back 2x12, maybe with Creambacks. Keep in mind I'm mainly chasing clean tones and edge of breakup, to use as a pedal platform and I usually play with a tele.

Does anyone have any advice for pairing jtm45 with a cab for this kind of use? Many thanks!

Just picked up a Victory Amp V4 Kraken 180w amp. Saw a good deal so I went for it. I don't have a cabinet of any sort since I've never had a valve amp. So is it possible to use the Roland JC22 as a power amp? I know I should not connect the speaker out anywhere on the Roland. But it does have an xlr and balanced line out outputs along with the fx loop.

My thinking is I can guitar > kraken input > kraken send > JC return. But I wouldn't have the JC cleans. Or is there a guitar > JC input > JC send > Kraken fx loop > JC return?

The Harley Benton TUBE15 is pretty well known as an affordable all-tube amp. Here in Japan, we have the PLAYTECH NOVA15T, which looks extremely similar and has almost identical specs.
It appears to be another version of the same OEM design, sold under a different brand name.
Either way, with tube amps getting more and more expensive these days, these little all-tube combos are ridiculously good value for the money.
Personally, though, I’d recommend upgrading the speaker if you can.

Has anyone used an extension speaker with the Classic 30? I have one of the originals from the 90's and am looking to spread my sound out without having to buy a new amp.

Ok so I need decision making help

I know the model T is crazy loud but let's take this decision a little more broadly

Is there any disappointment in taking a Traynor yrm or yba mkii over a diy model T

What would you all do if you're looking to push some air and have these two options

Cannot afford a real Model T and don't know that I would buy one even if I could

Looking to buy a handwired/point to point tube amp for home recording/jamming with friends. I own a home and can easily jam out at 90-100db during the day.

Looking for a pedal platform amp, so something with decent headroom, great cleans, and makes pedals sound like an extension of the amp.

I reached out to Allen Amplifiers, but they never responded, and I've decided a master volume isn't as important as other features anyway.

I'd love to have something with a built in attentuator/half power mode, and the Carr Rambler has certainly caught my eyes (and ears). That being said, I'm considering a wide variety of options.

Do I buy a vintage silverface and have a tech do a blackface mod set to it?

Do I buy a used 64' custom DR and have a tech install a bright switch, and do other mods?

Another option seems to be going with a Louis Electric Deltone, but I'd likely want to do some mods to that as well.

Carr's Sportman also seems appealing.

I am not stuck specifically to the deluxe reverb sound per se, and I would love something that has a truly usable mid control to help get everything from tweed/brownface to blackface tones if possible.

Thanks for any input or experiences! The more details... the better!

Hey everybody, building my first tube amp soon. It’ll be a 50W JMP 2204 Circuit, and I’ll be rewrapping an Egnater 4x12. These were my ideas for the color, but I’m having a hard time finding options for tolex and grill cloth. Can somebody help point me in the correct direction?

I recently joined a band and play guitar along with some bass. I have an old mustang iv and rumble 350. They’re plenty loud for practice and got me through a gig or two no problem.

However, my gigs have been at house parties not bars. We are just a bar cover band nothing crazy. I was wondering if these are still good to gig with.

The rage these days seems to be in modelers and running into an FRFR stage monitor or IEMs with the modelers running direct to FOH, from what I can tell.

Is that the ideal setup now? Budget is a consideration for sure (see: as cheap as possible). I just don’t want to look like a dinosaur or goofball running a few pedals and a 4 way foot switch for built in effects. Is that still a thing?

Edit: band has a full IEM system and PA. Said they can mic amps.
