Amps that don't get much love...

[missionguitars1]

Here's my 1983 Mesa Boogie S.O.B. 100 watter...not the prettiest but very reliable with a great clean tone that works well with my GT-8

Geez, and I thought I had the only SOB out there! It's an '81 60 watter that I bought for $300 off of Eddie Money's guitarist in '83 or '84. More headroom and volume than any one person should be allowed to possess...glad to see you don't have the "my parent's patio furniture wicker"-version!

Awesome amps for the money, I think they're still about $300 or so....

My Vetta's don't get any love from you fukkin tube snobs.
Thats why I had to buy the Sovtek Mig 60 and keep both of my 5150 heads. Hey... wait... I'm a tube snob too.

NEVERMIND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Agreed on Riveras. Those Makos have been sounding really good as of late too.

[pagemalicious]

Laney VH100R's. They're so underated! They sound even better with 6L6's to my ears

The TSL does not seem to get a lot of love here

[CharvelRocker]

Vintage Traynor cabs are sorely inderated. Hell Traynor amps are too. Also Kustom, Koch, and Ashdown amps rarely are mentioned.

Put me in the Crate camp. BV120H.

BV's seem to get a bad rap in general, they're not bad amps at all.

So why are you selling it then?

SOP. Play up how great your gear is in the forums to bait the suckers - once you've got a couple on the line, flog it off in the Classifieds.





This gets no love....

A BBE worked very well in the loop of a Crate BV120 I was playing..It's a flip of a coin if a amp will sound good with the BBE unit..the Crate took to it very well..that was actually the deal breaker when a customer at GC was on the fence about buying the BV..

I do prefer the old 422 models but I used a newer BBE 462 that GC had in stock...and it really woke up the Crate.

What's with those S.O.B amps? Never really heard much about them. A mesa head for $300 suggests they have a pretty bad rep, but it sure looks cool!

Good call on Koch! I tried a Powertone a couple years ago and it sounded AWESOME! Does anyone here own one?

I've had one of them for 12 years... actually doesnt sound too bad with my Boss ME33 running thru it for the kid to jam out on

The S.O.B. was Boogie's early attempt to bring back the Mark I, just slightly modernized. Purists didn't seem to like it, and the lack of channel switching didn't appeal to others. It wasn't in production very long, and they're isn't much info available on them. The vast majority of them are 60 watt combos. I have only heard of a few 100 watt heads like mine, and never seen pictures of another.

Here's a schematic for a 60 watter I found:
