What is the OSG amp family of choice?

[blacktiger]

Well, I thought it's not so much about preferences but about what we actually use in our current situation.

I did answer the poll based on the amp that I currently own, despite my pontificating about what my actual “amp of choice” would be. The reason I made the actual choice I did was 1) price 2) price 3) price 4) size - I live in an apartment 5) situation - not in a band or planning to be and 6) I happened to be in the mood for a British amp when I bought it.

Once again, I fall right in line with the majority of respondents.

Same.

Stereo setup-

Marshall Valvestate 8080 single-rack head driving a pair of 2x12 sealed-back cabinets.

Solid State half-stack? British? Modern? Kind of all three, but none of the above as well....


I marked all three.

Deluxe Reverb (honestly BF or SF), I'm a basic bitch apparently

[marqueemoon]

I assume for modeling scenarios we would choose based on our preferred amp to model.

Still, there is no “direct” or “ampless” option. That’s my second choice behind the OSG-favored small American (Swart or Filmosound variant in my case).

[Larsongs]

I am in agreement with the majority..

All Tube Amps..

Most used - 65 PRRI & Modded Vox AC-10
Second most used - 65 DRRI & Vox AC-15
Third most used - Fender Pro Tube Twin Reverb

I can't get away from the EF86 Channel of an AC10. It does it all.

I just opened up my DSL5 on full power for the first time. I’d been playing it with the low power button in, thinking it was just a master volume type thing. And I barely used it as it wasn’t a Marshall sound to me.

Now sounds like a Marshall & I’m happy

VOX ACs and big bottle Fender combos are the top of the heap with my Jazzmasters. For my style, ears and taste.

Tiny Amp Town FTW.

Obviously not possible, but it would be nice if there was someway to find out how people use their amps, as much as what they're using.

I run a Matamp stack and a 50w Jet City 212 Bassmanalike combo in stereo.

I usually have mine with the power on and a guitar plugged in.

Twin Reverb, loud and clean with my pedals doing most of the work.
I've been considering a Deluxe Reverb recently as it's rare I ever get to open the Twin up properly these days, but when I get it cranked at practice there's no better sound or feeling than moving all that air. I'd be worried the 1x12 of the Deluxe would feel lacking after all these years of the Twin.

I use mine for Practice, Rehearsal, Gigging & Recording… The size varies depending on how large the venues is.. Generally I prefer a smaller Amp.

Sometimes I’ll use 2 Amps, a Vox & a Fender, & play Stereo ADT thru a Keeley 30ms Double Tracker Stereo pedal.. Particularly for Recording..

2 twin combos, running stereo
