what is this? seems interesting. I have seen some local guys makes some killer amps out of old movie projectors.~3-5 watts, built into a baking pan.
Yo-to-the-lo! This lil thing will out Vox a Vox all Fckn day.
“Bedroom“ levels is more subject than wave height.
I‘ll repeat: Play a bunch of amps with your own guitar at some music stores, then Buy a used one you like on https://reverb.com/

Some guitar parts in recording have a definitive tones that sound like X guitar through y amp - but many do not.If I named a song, could any of you tell me what amp would best replicate the sound? Or what amp and pedal? Of what amp, settings and pedals?
IDK, A customer had it, wasn’t working - I saw it and loved it so he gave it to me. I think it might have just had a cold solder joint that I just reheated n I got it working.what is this? seems interesting. I have seen some local guys makes some killer amps out of old movie projectors.
many places sell fender amps as kits.what is this? seems interesting. I have seen some local guys makes some killer amps out of old movie projectors.
Maybe! Give it a try.If I named a song, could any of you tell me what amp would best replicate the sound? Or what amp and pedal? Of what amp, settings and pedals?
Here's a few. I think the tone might be similar in all three-Maybe! Give it a try.
There definitely is.….think there’s a certain amount of snobbery attached to tubes vs solid state, I’m not sure you ( honestly) will really hear much difference in a quality amp with “average guitarist” ears.
Wasn't dont take me alive Larry Carlton? monster guitar part either way. I have zero guesses what he was playing.Here's a few. I think the tone might be similar in all three-

I am not an expert, but I feel like you can get these tones out of a Fender black face style amp + a "transparent" overdrive pretty easily. Steely Dan song more overdriven, and I would maybe use a fuzz with guitar volume rolled back a bit to approximate the opening tone.Here's a few. I think the tone might be similar in all three-

Actually, you’re right, there’s something special about playing loud through a nicely overdriven tube amp. There’s a warmth and a dynamic reactive feel to your playing that is aweSome.There definitely is.
But I’d also say the average to even less than average player will get a full on boner playing through an amazing rig- they will feel it.
Nothing touches a great Tube amp that’s properly tuned up, through a great speaker- at the proper size/wattage for use, not even close IMO. It’s obviously more than what you’re hearing/sound - it’s the response to input/responsivenes/dynamics/touch sensitivity etc. There’s nothing close.
That being said - lots of hot-garbage tube amps out there; some very popular - Fender Blues Junior is the equivalent of a Wave Storm; fack-I’d rather have a moldy Peavey Bandit.
there’s buckets of good to great sounding non tube amps out there; tons of good gear in general at all price points/it’s a great time to be a guitar player.
