First actual amp was a Marshall Valvestate VS230, but I plugged into my parents old National record player before I could afford the Marshall. Still have it:

Damn loud for a 14 year old’s bedroom. I sold it when I got to uni to a friend of a friend who paid half and then ran off home still owing me the balance.

Squier 15w for a while then upgraded to a 410 Deville, which I never had the courage to turn up above '2'.

So much love for the Rage, mine looked like this one, I think I kept it up until the early 2000s... but hadn't played it since the 80s...

He was born in ‘77, I was born in ‘73 :-)
