Re: Top 5 SS heads,Tube heads,Modeling heads

for me right now its a toss up between a VHT Pittbull 50 CL w/EQ+REV and a Bogner Ecstasy 101B.



I guess to do the top five thing it would be like this, in no order

Bogner XTC
VHT 50 CL
Marshall JCM800 2203
Soldano SLO100
Mesa Mark IV

I think my next amp purchase will be the SLO..

4. engl savage 120

Re: Top 5 SS heads,Tube heads,Modeling heads

Wow, I don't think I've gotten to play with as many cool toys as the rest of you. But out of what I've played, here are my favorites:

-Marshall Jubilee
-Soldano SLO
-Laney AOR
-Randall RG-100 HT
-Tube Works RT2100

I know, I know...I need to get out more often. I haven't played a great number of tube heads that I liked (though some might've included a Twin on their list, it didn't do much for me), I have only played one really good SS head, and I haven't tried many modeling heads so I though in a hybrid instead.

Re: Top 5 SS heads,Tube heads,Modeling heads

SS - Fender RocPro 1000.

Tube - Mesa F30.

Re: Top 5 SS heads,Tube heads,Modeling heads

Tube- Deizel VH4
Mesa Triple Rectifier (or dual)
Mesa Mark IV
JCM800 2210 (a certain one from 1987)
Bogner Shiva

Solid State
Marshall 8100
Mode 4 (sorry, I don't think it's that bad, just not worth the high price)
Randall RG100

Modelers? Line 6 Spider 2, and it seems like a lot of people like the hD whatever thing, and the Vetta.

Have Bret (slo100) post a picture of his 4 amps and then add a Vetta to it. Easily my 5 favorites.

Don't really like any SS heads, maybe a Randall or an older Marshall valvestate.
