New Dream Amp (Matchless) Day

Post by Unicorn Warrior » Fri Oct 15, 2021 8:10 am

I’ve been long overdue for a new amp. I’ve been playing the last few years with a Roland Cube 20. The little Roland, while not giving me cool gear cred, has actually been great. Well, that amp’s speaker finally started having trouble. My wife and I have some sets coming up toward the end of the month and I need something for that. My birthday is around the corner and my wife is awesome to let me get a new amp this year.

I’ve never played the guessing game on here before but I always have fun participating in them. So, who wants to guess the amp?

HINT: this amp is not solid state like the Roland, but it is a significant upgrade. I’ve also never played one of these. Can’t really recall if I’ve seen one in the flesh. I know many say it’s crazy buying sight unseen, but that’s not been my experience in most cases.

No, but that was almost an option.

While i’ve never played or seen a Magnotone, that isn’t it. But these amps are intriguing.

Love a good PR. But that’s not it.

No, but I’d like to have one of these.

Not one of the big 3 (Marshall, vox, fender)

Well, he said he couldn't recall if he had ever seen one. Maybe he was kicked in the head by a horse or something.

Not a Supro. I did own a thunderbolt once. Great amp, just not the perfect amp for what I do.

You set the wallet on fire and got a Benson.

I did set the wallet on fire in that I’ve never paid this much for an amp.

But, not a Benson

Some good guesses up to this point.
