Yamaha 212 100w
Very old solid state amp, with a dual input single channel. Sadly, this amp now mainly gets used to support other gear. This was the first real guitar amp I purchased, way back when... :-)

Marshall JCM 900 Dual Reverb
My second real guitar amp. And it's a real guitar amp all right! Initially, I had just the 100w head and a 1960a slant box, but being young and of high disposable income, I added the 1960b cab. I must say, it really does breath better with the two cabs, but if it's having trouble breathing, you won't be 'hearing' that for too long. :-) Your ears will go into 'power ring' mode after about ten seconds.
It really is a nice amp when you get used to it, not for cleans, but for crunch, I love this unit. Channel A can give you classic Marshall tones at most volumes, but channel B sounds rather weak until the power amp stage is working. This happens at levels above 3.

Yamaha DG80
For an all digital pre-amp, this unit is so warm. It's a high end amp that I picked up after the hoo-ha had died down. I think I payed a third of what it originally cost! The amp features multiple channels for simulating most ballpark areas of modern music. There's your 'Boogies' right down to your JC120s. The knobs are all automated. :-)

Peavey Classic 30
Really my goto amp for most things these days. It's 22watts, which means you can make it work without knocking a wall over next door! But having said that, it is still too powerful for 'opening up' in a residential house setting. Class A all the way baby!
For a grand, this is certainly one of the best guitar amps in the world, IMHO. She can be Voxy break-up (you have to hear this!!), Deluxe Reverb crunch or driven Blues Breaker heaven. She can also bring her very own crunch to the table and that's something that I really like in an amp. This amp can do Black Crows, to Since I've Been Loving You all before lunch break. :-)

You have answered this on the other old forum, but my hosting company lost all the data in a crash they had... Nice amp BTW!

That old Yami would be good for your synths, wouldn't it?

I really only like the synths through phones or the monitors. I'm a synth snob!

Did I see the poor old Yami up for sale on ebay?

Nah, that's a newer one from the late 90s. Make a bid! :-)

mr.moderator, i am from the philippines and i am looking for a forum in australia that would be involved in trading guitars, for i maybe migrating to australia early next year. In the philippines we have forum which has a section dealing with guitars, effects, amps trades.

sorry for interrupting this thread for this question. i have registered.

btw, i use a roland bolt60 guitar tube amp (60wtts) and a roland cube20x for home playing.

hope we could build up a thread for guitar and gear trading.

i am sure guitarist would love trading their guitars.

thanks.

i have a PEAVEY 150w bandit that i have used all over oz for 34 years. retired it on thursday when my new MARSHALL 150w A V T TRIBUNE arrived. the bottom box has yet to arrive from england, then it will be a true stack.  have been playing with settings for 2 days as i need to use it tomorrow at the local RSL club.  this is a fantastic amp.  valve pre amp and solid state. FANTASTIC. why did i wait so long.   i also have a couple of small pratice amps and a NEMISIS 200w bass amp.

Hi all , My first post here.

I have had this amp rebuilt from a salvaged projector from the UK amd inside was a push pull 2 x EF86 , 2 x EL84 , 1 x 12AX7 and 1 x GZ30 tubes and all Mullard 1955 whicI presume the amp was made in the same year. All point to point wiring solid chasis and DANG does thios amp sound really nice. Cleans are full and sparkley and the amp distortion is also ver y nice and crisp.

The amp is called a BEAM ECHO which was a company started making amps in the mid 40's the 2 x 10" speaker box and headshell was assembled stained and oiled by me and fitted with 2 x 10" Lorantz circa late 70's speakers I got on EBAY for a very good price.

started like this


now looks like this


the superb Lorantz speakers

plus a Laney LC30II with a vintage 30 put in instead of the stock Seventy/80 which were
streaks ahead of the older invader speakers Laney used before
