Been playing 49 years. Mostly on the road with country bands. But have played a lot of blues, vintage rock, original "folk", and anything melodic.
My problem is I live in Cheyenne, WY and can't just walk into a music store and find the variety of amps to choose from. So I have to rely on researching the internet and sifting through various forums and reviews to finally decide on an amp. My first need from an amp is tone. Clean tone. You can always wet it up. I like a variety of tones from punchy clean to singing dirt in an easy to use package.
I've had every imaginable amp over the years and have really loved some of the Boogies I've owned. Especially the F-100. Wasn't crazy about the F-30 or the Lonestar. Had some others that I don't remember the models. My guitars are my own design and make, but closely resemble Tele/Strats.
I think my all time favorite "if I was stranded on a desert island" amp is the Fender Deluxe reverb to give you some idea of what I'm happy with. But a one horse pony. I'm not crazy about using external FX to get sound. Would rather get them out of the amp. The ED intrigues me. Found one on eBay and just wondering if it would suit my needs.
Some favorite players (showing my age) would be Eric Clapton, Buddy Guy, Freddy King, SRV, Billy Gibbons, Brad Paisley and Brent Mason, Ray Flacke, and Albert Lee.
So . . . talk me out of it!
