Re: Any "forever" amps?
No surprises here:
Jansen 4/12. Main amp for the past 6 years.
At last Saturday's gig, I used the Tubeworks combo. It was great, no complaints but after song 3, I quickly swapped back to the Jansen and the world immediately felt right again.

Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

For obvious reasons, this one:
The older I get, the more disappointed in myself I become.

Re: Any "forever" amps?
I’ve never had an amp that’s really done that before. It’s early days, but the AB165 Bassman clone I bought off strummers may be. It certainly covers a lot of ground. Sounds great with a Hotplate for sensible volumes too.

For me I think it is a Fender Supersonic. Two switchable vintage Fender amps (Deluxe and Bassman) and an independent hot channel with two gain controls.
Anything more would be greedy.

I feel like my old Tweed PJ is right up there. It was so cheap and sounds so good that I can't ever think of a reason to part with it. So practical to in terms of size, weight and stage volume.

My 1976 100W Marshall JMP and 80's JCM800 2203 half stacks will hopefully never leave.
Given I'm a bedroom player nowadays, they almost never get used and the Boss Katana is the go to, but just looking at the Marshall's as man cave art makes me happy enough that I have no intention in selling off

Mine is a plexi 100 w with Jose mod. Just add Les Paul. It makes me jump up and down with excitement.

Re: Any "forever" amps?
In all seriousness, I don’t think I’ve had an amp I “wanted” to keep, like, “I love this” as opposed to “I needa keep this and get my money’s worth”, except maybe that jcm900 copy I had a while ago.
That was pretty cool, but rather large and kinda heavy (I’m not a big dude, half of you have met me).
I actually like the bandit. If I want to do something, it’s often pretty happy to oblige.

That for me is the definition of a perfect amp.Single coil wrote:........If I want to do something, it’s pretty happy to oblige.
