Probably the coolest amp I’ve tried

Finally hunted one of these down, and oh lawd. It goes so hard. I have a lot of high gain amps and this one is definitely doing its own thing. Surprised these don’t get more love!

Problem with amplified nation bombshell overdrive

Got this amp used guy said it didn’t have much play time. Played it for about an hour when i first got it worked fine. Didn’t have much time to play finally plugged it in today let it warmup and started playing got up to grab something and smelt something weird looked inside and one of the 6l6 tubes was glowing much hotter then the rest. Took a couple pictures and turned it off.

Hoping for some insight before i try and find a tech to go through it. Thank you!

Could you guys helm me in dating this monster?

And also give me an approximate cost for it before picking it up please?!

GAS is killing me!

Roland JC40 Thoughts? Other killer solid state amps?

I already know it kicks ass. I've been looking for a lighter amp to take places and have loved the JC amps forever and didn't realize the 40 was only 34lbs (what!? amazing). That sealed the deal on it being my next amp (and the price?! seriously? what a steal!).

Would love to hear people's thoughts on it who have played them, just for fun. JC22 and 120 welcome as well.

What are some other kick ass solid state amps you all like?

Is this a good model and worth the 715 asking price (and a two and a half hour drive one way)

He’s asking 715 for the head and footswitch.

80W for $80

I bought a broken Peavy bandit 112 silver stripe combo for $60. It cost me $20 to fix it. I converted the combo into an amp head myself. It's extremely loud. Perfect for rehearsals and gigs. I'm running my pedalboard into the fx loop return. Until I can afford a 2k amp head, this will surely do, and I love how it sounds. Just wanted to share.

Fender m80 chorus

I recently obtained a fender m80 chorus, it used to be used in the music department in a high school, is this one for the rig or one for the rubbish?

Also to note, I have had to disconnect a speaker as it was making a horrible muddy sound. Will this be bad for it or will it be fine and just not worry about it (i think it is the power amplifier but i have no clue).

Happy to answer questions

Is this worth the gamble?

I would mainly be interested in repair and resale. And jamming while it sells of course.

NAD: Laney AOR 30 Combo

Found this on Marketplace. Great condition for a 42 year old amp (serial is 2001) - still figuring out the multiple boosts/gain stages/ all of that but liking it so far

Will this amp work with a cab?

Thinking about getting a cab for my hughes & kettner warp 7 but I'm not sure if it will work with one. Anybody know anything about using a cab with one of these?

Is this worth the price

I've done some research on dual rectifiers but I'm still a little confused about which are good or bad. Is this one of the good ones and is it worth the price? If not what should I be looking for? Thanks!!

NAD- Orange Rocker 15

New amp day! I got this Orange Rocker 15 for $380 on marketplace!! It has sounded amazing! I currently have it set up as a wet/dry rig. The Orange Rocker 15 does all my dry or distortion type pedals, then the Bugera G5 does all my wet modulation effects. Sounds great! My plan is to remove it from the speaker cabinet and build an amp head enclosure to match my DIY oak speaker cabinets I made.

amp recommendations for new guitar

so i’m buying my first electric guitar, as i plan on learning jazz, as well as applying for a jazz university this year. i need to find an amp as soon as possible, because i’m going to try out a used ibanez artcore in two days, and the seller said they no longer have an amp, so i should bring mine. i was planning on buying a new amp (preferably a small one, and budget friendly but good for it’s price.) but i know nothing about amps and would like some recommendations. what amps work well for jazz tone? i was thinking of ordering one online so that it arrives as soon as possible.
another option i just found out about is mini amps. i thought to just buy one, just to try out the guitar, and then return it and buy an actual good amp.

Modifying Amps to Vintage Specs.

Not much of a sparky beyond some very basic tinkering.

I've played through a new production model Fender Deluxe Reverb. It's a very fine amp.

If I were to buy a new one, what would go into making it "more like the old ones", so to speak?

Is it as simple as swapping for period correct components, or are there fundamental voice differences in today's amps?

I'm saying Fender as an example, but I'm thinking of all amps as well.

I just buy this one for 100 dlls 1600 mxn

​

Hey everyone! I just picked up this Marshall Valvestate 8100 for $100. Does anyone here own one or have any experience with these amps? I’d love to hear what you think about it and whether you think I got a good deal.
