For many years it was a Deluxe Reverb, but lately I've been using my Genz Benz Black Pearl 30. Loving this amp!

Depends on the gig, my mood, and venue size, but here goes...
1. Marshall Bluesbreaker
2. Lil Dawg ChocoDawg 6g3 Brown Deluxe clone head on either a 1x12 cab with a an EV SRO or a quieter 2x10 with Weber Blue Pup alnicos.
3. Lil Dawg Pug...a Marshall 1974x 18 watter clone pushing a G12H30
4. Lil Dawg 5E3 D-lux pushing a Weber 12F125

DRRI...if I had bigger arms my sfsr

backporchmusic · May 29th, 2012, 10:12 PM

Was my DRRI until I got my PRRI. Now it's my Vox AC15C1. So cheep i don't mind hauling it around anywhere.

LGOberean · May 29th, 2012, 10:16 PM

The OP referenced this question in the context of his having "started gigging again." So I'm going on the assumption that this question is about #1 gigging amp.

For me, I'd have to say that it's my Vox Pathfinder 15R. The amp has such a small footprint, and it's so lightweight, schlepping it to gigs is nothing. The tone is surprisingly warm and tube-like. And it's louder than you'd expect. No, I don't play large venues; typically less than 100 people. Sometimes very small rooms, where the PF15R is sufficient for the room. In other cases, I've mic-ed it into the PA.

That said, on my last two gigs I took out my Peavey Studio Pro 112 TransTube (silver stripe). At those outings, I was going for a particular tone that I knew my Peavey would give me, plus I needed the two channels.

I love my old Peavey Bandits too (65 & 75), but they're just so much heavier than even the Studio Pro. So I go with my PF15R most of the time.

76 Vibrolux gives me everything I want and more. who else love the Vibrolux!

RubyRae · May 29th, 2012, 10:18 PM

My "best" is my silverface '75 Princeton (non reverb) amp. There is really nothing like it IMO.
Really all I could afford, but I wouldn't change it. Me and that amp were meant to be.

For big boys, I am still saving for an Allen Encore.

im using a pignose 7-100 tweed. so right now that is the only amp i like. cant stand the line 6 75watt single celstion 12" speaker ( would sell it, but it aint worth anything, not worth the hassle.. ).. i was recommended when i started this hobbie at the start of the year. but the 1980's yamaha se 200 guitar i bought with it is very cool guitar ( love the neck on it, nice and big ). even if it weighs more than a les paul. needs fretwork, and it will be rocking again. just glad i did not sell it when i bought a more expensive guitar.

With a band, a Bogner Alchemist. Covers all the bases, and likes a variety of guitars.

For recording, it's a Princeton with a Radial JDX box.

At home, if it were working right, I'd say -- my blackface Pro Reverb.

vibrasonic · May 29th, 2012, 11:11 PM

Either one of these.
