Author: BQ: What’s your favorite Fender amp (regardless of whether it’s a solid-state or tube amp)?
BQ2: What’s your favorite Vox amp (regardless of whether it’s a solid-state or tube amp)?
My favorite, is the old original black face Vibrolux Reverb.
The new ones are "ok",
but nothing lick the old ones, which were hand wired,
The old ORIGINAL black fave Deluxe Reverb, is a close second,
I’m just a real fan. of guitar amps,with 2-10".
edit
I’ve own a couple of old Tube Vox amps, the but the old ones a re well known as headache amps,
Good sound, but I’ve seen a friends "Super Beatle" tube amp, go up in smoke.
Flames shoot out, about a foot,
And I’m not a fan, of their Solid state stuff.
I have a tweed fender blues junior and on the back it says made in Mexico. Are these good because my Mexican strat sucks dick compared to my American one. Also, is there an American blues junior? Lastly, is the Mexican one high quality? What wood is the cabinet made of and is the Jensen speaker good? Pros and cons?
They’re both fender… Obviously
I bet in a blindfold test very few people can tell the difference between mexicans and americans. Fender makes great amps, I wouldn’t worry about it
http://www.sourceaudio.net The Sound Blox Classic distortion modeler is very cool! I like the noise gate a lot. Would be very handy in the studio for stacking rhythm tracks without all the hiss fizz and noise. The pedal has tributes to all the classic stompboxes like the ProCo Rat, Tubescreamer, Big Muff Pi, Tone Bender MK II, Dallas Arbiter Fuzzface, Marshall and Boogie preamp tones, and more. Also has 6 presets and a graphic EQ…all in all, and very handy tool!

Clean channel test from a Peavey Delta Blues 1×15 inch speaker and a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe 1 x 12 inch speaker.
This is not a competition, just a test I own both these amps and I like them both for different reasons

Don’t think so, but I haven’t played anything but my old Mesa Boogie amp for the last ten years.
Solid state amps just sound different than tube amps. End of story.
Whether that’s for better or worse is subjective, although most people find that tube amps sound more interesting. Transistors are predictable and consistent. Tubes aren’t nearly as perfect, and there’s a bit of randomness in the sound. That makes for a more complex and pleasing sound. No processing can create something truly random.
What are some other cool amps like fender twin reverb even other fenders?
Especially heads?
Thanks.
Vox AC30 Hand-Wired Tube Guitar Combo Amp with 2 x 12" Alnico Blue Speakers
This is a sweet combo, but pricy, at anywhere from $1,500 to 2,000
At a performance, we used a semi acoustic guitar as well as an acoustic bass, with two singers using two mics. The guitar amps were then connnected to a PA system, which also took in the two mics. The humming and feedback was so bad that we could not hear anything else at all.
The situation you describe can be the result of several things:
– Speakers not positioned correctly
– Excessive gain and/or EQ
– Poor signal-to-noise ratio (improperly placed mics)
– Incorrect choice of microphones for the application
With the acoustic instruments, they’re each going to have a frequency that they’re going to want to resonate at. You need to have a parametric EQ available to find the offending frequency and notch it out. Also make sure that your speakers are pointing away from the mics and instruments.
It sounds like you’re running your instruments through amps, and the amps are connected ot the PA. Unless your amps have a low impedance DI output on them, that’s not a very good way to do things. With acoustic instruments, you’ll do a lot better running them through DI boxes and then sending the low impedance output to the PA. This will give you ground isolation and much cleaner sound. You can still use the amps for monitors if you need.
Good luck.

http://www.lovepedal.com the Purple Plexi-800 from Love Pedal is a sweet, high gain, marshall style overdrive. Very cool for what it is…simple and rockin! I used a Gibson SG and a Dr Z MAZ 18 210 combo amplifier for the review.
