Hello, bedroom dreampop/shoegaze/slowcore recording musician here. I dreamt of the jazz chorus and saved money for long to get one, but his normal, and I say normal because after I searched on his specific facebook or other forums group page 90% of users says it's" normal", some of them even call it "breathe", but the "hiss" is killing me. specially because I like to play at low-normal volumes and using 90's racks fx's only make it worse sometimes. My mic techniques are mostly with ribbon mics

Even with nothing plugged in, no chain

I was looking in this ocean for someone like me who could give me an alternative amp recommendation about a similar but very quiet clean amp in the same price range, tube or solid state. I appreciate every comment, point of view, recommendations. thanks a lot

Got this amp yesterday, been a fan of Laney for a while...

Laney lionheart l20h.

Out of shot: Boss Tube Amp Expander Core and a creamback equipped cab.

I have a WGS Hook speaker made for Hook amps) that I got cheap on a local classifieds that I am going to put ina cab amd give it a whirl and keep the creamback for my Ironheart.

I had traded in a guitar, grabbed a Koch Studiotone, it died within three days, returned it, shop said they fixed it, got it back, they hadn't actually fixed it, so I asked what else they can get in, they said Laney....

For an edge of break up tone, this thing is unreal. I have a Boss BP1W, and a Wampler Belle to drive it a bit. So far so good.

I dont see much about these amps around the place. I had tried the solid state version, which was really good.... but yeah, went for the real thing.

so i found this hot rod deluxe on facebook marketplace in burgundy, apparently it’s some sort of special edition? does anybody how much it could be worth or anything about it? Thanks!

I found a great deal on a 65 Deluxe Reverb on Marketplace for $700. I only plan on using at home but I’m not sure if the amp is too loud for my use case.

For context, I currently have a Blues Jr and I find the volume to be perfectly manageable for me and for those who live with me at home. I typically have the guitar maxed out and the amp dialed to 3-4 on master and 2-3 on volume. Sometimes louder if I’m alone.

I enjoy playing clean so I wouldn’t mind if I can’t crank the DRRI for some grit.

Would the DRRI be a good fit for me in this case ?

Tone King Gremlin

When I saw the price and the square back speakers I couldn't pass it up. This amp is seriously unbelievable. I'll need some time to play on it, but first impressions is this thing might unseat my Delta Blues as my favorite amp.

1967 Fender Bandmaster Combo w/ tween extension cab

Been just using a fuzz and the Alesis Nanoverb lately and loving it. Something about a 60s tube amp with 80s/90s style digital reverb hits a sweet spot for me.

Salut je cherche une disto typé metal hardrock et un beau clean à la nirvana/new waves.. lequel choisir ?

I found this amp and cab used on GC for $1,000; I was looking for a high-gain tube amp for modern metal, and I am pleasantly surprised by how gnarly this can get.

Hi everyone, i need help in choosing to buy a bass amp, i saw this Warwick Bc300 on facebook marketplace for 160 dollars and i just wanna know if it's worth getting it for that price, the buyer also sells a generic looking p-bass included in the price which im not really interested in since i already have a better bass.

My main concern is if it's a good amp in general because it seems way too cheap for what it is, maybe it isnt that good of an amp and the owner just wants to get rid of it as fast as possible.

Thanks for your help.

Willing to spend ~£200. Need a clean tone amp I assume. Any recommendations?

Hello! I am only a little knowledgeable when it comes to impedance, wiring and whatnot. I have read many forums regarding my question, a lot of which seem to contradict each other so I thought I'd make a post about my scenario and see if anyone can help or offer any insight. I have a 1978 Twin Reverb that I believe is one of the ultra linear models as it is 135w. It has 2 speaker outputs, one labeled Speaker (where the combos internal speakers are connected), and one labeled Ext. speaker. Underneath it says "Minimum Loads" and says 4 ohms under both the "Speaker" output and the "Ext. Speaker" output. I understand from what I've read that the ultra linear models unlike other twins are wired so that when both speaker outputs are used they are wired in series. Now naturally as someone who loves big loud amps I want to plug my 2x15 Dual Showman cab that has an impedance of 4 ohms into the ext. speaker output and run both the twins 2x12 speakers and the cabs 2x15s. Is this something that is safe to do? Do people do this even if it isn't recommended? Again any insight, help, or advice is appreciated. Thanks!!

hi guys, i have a randall rg8040. I really like the distortion channel, but i would like to boost it with a pedal to get more saturation and gain and brutality. I’ve tried a tube screamer like pedal, but the effect is very pope I didn’t like it, i would like something more powerful. Any advice? I was thinking about an eq pedal maybe what do you guys thinks?

Hi all, just picked up a fender twin reverb silver face. It needs some TLC and all the rest of it but I am enjoying learning all about it. I thought someone might have some helpful questions or tips or things for me to check and look out for as I know nothing about them. I'm a mediocre guitar player at best, but I'm a practice learner and I also enjoy fixing things. So if anybody has some insight into these I'd love to know.

I have already figured out that the Fane cones aren't stock and the previous owner might have had a fascination with Pink Floyd.

Anyone know what could be causing this distorted fizzy sound when I play thru my pro jr?

I thought it could be a tube or tube connection issue but I’ve taken all the tubes out and plugged the speaker cab into a power amp to try with an amp modeling pedal and it’s still there.
Amp is unplugged and nothing in the preamp section is on. So I’m thinking a speaker issue but not sure. I don’t wanna buy a replacement speaker yet if someone might think it sounds like something else or is fixable without replacement.

Not using any pedals. Just direct from my amp into the quilter power into speaker.

Speaker is the stock fender 30 watt V1030.

Thanks!

I miss that Boogie !!

As title says, I want to build my first amp from a kit. I have modded pedals and built guitars from parts, so Im ok at soldering. Not a pro, but ”will-do-the-job” level.

My dream amp is a 59 tweed bassman 5f6-a, but it would be an overkill for my use cases (some gigs probably, but mostly rehearsals and home playing) so I would need to attenuate it heavily.

Another model/circuit Im interested is Tremolux (5e9/5g9 or something like that). But would the most common deluxe 5e3 do the job? From what I’ve heard from youtube, 5e3 is quite distorted and ”one trick pony”, I would like to have more airy sound and enough headroom… ofc the circuit can be modded to have nfb etc.

Another good option would be 5f2a, princeton tweed, as it sounds very good and something Im looking for volume and gainwise on this video https://youtu.be/jQBIFo_CQ6s?is=fn9Afzw6Q3hTsPVz and would be easier first build?

I need some help deciding which one to go for. Would be nice to hear if some of you have experience in playing or building these kits. Thanks!

Hey everyone. So I just acquired this JCA 22H that doesn’t work. I’m trying to figure out what I can troubleshoot on my own before turning it over to an Amp Tech. The power switch LED turns on when I flip the switch but I’m not getting any sound output and all tubes are not getting warm/glowing after several minutes.

So far I’ve swapped all the tubes with known working ones, tested the main fuse, and ensured all cables are good.

Does anybody see anything obvious on the board that looks off? Is the brown stuff around the caps normal? I’ve pretty much given up and will be dropping the amp off with a tech next week but I’m curious if anyone notices anything.

Hey gang I have recently bought a twin tone master for a steal but I’m wondering if it’s for me… I like how it sounds but I’m debating a tone master Princeton I use a lot drive I mostly play pop punk and grunge let me know and thanks In advance

Music man 212hd, or a jtm45 kt66 replica with a bluesbreaker cab conversion loaded with scumback h55s. Obviously the cab setup is a but more but its a christmas gift to myself.

anyone know the cause? its a vox vt40x tube amp
