I keep trying all sorts of different amps with my Teles, but no matter how I tweak 'em, I always have to accept that my 70s Twin Reverb (clean setting, little bit of reverb) is truly a "match made in heaven" for any of my Telecasters.

Oddly enough, I've been playing my recently acquired Gretsch Pro Jet through the Twin, but something is just "missing" somehow. Plug in a Tele, and.... mmmmm, pure Tele tone!.....

I have an old Super Reverb...probably because it is the first good amp I owned...I prefer it to just about anything else.

But because the SR is such a slug to haul around, I use a Peavey Classic 30 most of the time. There's something satisfying about being able to carry my guitar, amp, and bag of cables/cords/pedals all by myself...all at once.

When I'm out selling beer*, the crowd doesn't hear the difference.


*my clever euphemism for playing in a bar

Started out as an Esquire but I enjoyed the guitar so much and felt it needed the full course of pickup position choices.

It's awaiting an El Dorado tooled leather PG.

My homemade amp, based on a Deluxe Reverb with a second channel with separate tone and extra gain. I've stopped looking at other amps.

Blues Junior - great for practice (miked on on gigs), weight and tone.

For the last 6 years a Victoria 35115T Tweed Pro with Weber P15N (15A150). But it's about to be joined by a new Louis Electric KR-10/12. There will then be a king and queen of the roost.

Gibson GA15 RV. This amp always impresses other players at various jams; lots of great comments from others, most of whom have no idea what kind of amp this is.

I have a bunch of amps that I like with my Tele, but at the moment, it's an British made KORG/Vox AC-15. What a great combination.

Nice amps!

When the weather changed, I started picking up ham radio in my Bassman head. My bench has an unfinished Esquire on it, so I just switched to my little SS Peavey.

I have to dragged my Marshall JTM45RI out. That's always been a good amp.

Match made in heaven? My American Ash Tele (8502) and my 2000 model USA Blues Jr. amp. This is THE tone I've been looking for for years! Also like my Teles thru my Blues Deluxe Reissue. But the EL-84 tone is just "it"! And I've always been a 6L6 kind of guy. Who knew??

Certainly Fender tube amps but used a early Marshall 2x12 tube
combo amp years back in a studio (miked in a tile bathroom) and it was
a unique great sound.
I even use a little SS amp some and the Teles sound good with it.

+1 on the M80 combo. Clean tone to die for.

Silverface Vibrolux Reverb with Celestion 10G35 speakers, although the original silverface alnicos (Utahs?) were great too

So far my Laney VC30. We'll see how it goes when I get a Ceriatone Vibroverb.
