So, what amps do you own?

The collection has expanded over the years playing music. Every project was an excuse to try something new. And there's always a need for backups and the "big stage" and "small stage" rigs. It's fun to invent new justifications!

...Amps and combos...
Boogie ("mark I" with 15" Altec 418-8H)
Boogie Mark II combo (EVM 12L)
Boogie Mark IIB (simul-class head with the mike b loop mod)
Boogie IIC+ combo (EVM 12L)
Dr. Z Z-28
Dr. Z Route 66
Dr. Z KT-45
Dr. Z RX ES
Fender Tremolux (6G9-B/blonde/brownface)
Fender Super Reverb (mid-'70s MV combo)
Fender Vibro Champ
Traynor YBA-2A
Music Man HD130 2x10 combo
Epiphone Ensign 2x10 combo, highly modified
Peavey Pacer (don't laugh! lightweight, loud, excellent for some situations)
Pignose

Music Man HD130 head (for bass, mostly, but great guitar amp too)
Mesa Subway 800
Acoustic Model 230


...Cabs...
Boogie Open-back 1x12 w EV SRO
Boogie thiele (w/ EVM 12L) 1x12
Mesa road-ready bass cab with EVM 15B
Dr Z Z-Best closed/ported 2x12 (x2, one with celestions the other with Weber Gray wolf)
Dr Z 2x12 open back (Weber Blue Dogs)
Avatar traditional 1x12 cab with Weber Chicago
Avatar cube 1x12 with JBL MI12
Music Man reflex horn 1x15 with EVM 15L
Music Man reflex horn 2x12 with EVM 12L

The Mark IIA combo is close to being a desert island amp as far as I'm concerned. The MV is excellent, and something about the combination of the amp and the cab and the speaker gives it an incredibly sweet tone, plus the lead is quite good. Nothing beats the IIC+ for pure aggressive lead, but the IIA is more versatile IMO. My IIC+ has GEQ but no reverb, and it's quite bright and aggressive. Every individual amp and player is different so YMMV.

The Route 66 rules them all as far as tone goes, as far as I'm concerned. But there's only one way to play it and that's *loud*. Will hang on to this one as long as I can.

Also the Dr. Z Z-28 is quickly becoming a favorite of mine, only second to the pure tone of the Route 66, and way more manageable in the volume department. I really love the Z tone stack which is why I have three of the four flavors of this preamp design (Z-28, Route 66, KT-45; I'm missing the Delta -88)

Music Man, Super Reverb, Epiphone, are all my punk backline amps. If I expect there to be beer, bodily fluids, or people standing on the amps, these are the loud, indestructable titans.

my music styles lean roots/blues/garage/punk

Wow you guys have a lot of amps. I used to have five 2x12 mini stacks with a switching pedal, but now just a MKV half stack and a Yamaha THR30
I keep trying to slim it down but it’s pretty hard to sell music gear right now!
Plus……every time I get ready to let something go, I play it and decide to keep it…..

I am only Sorry for having swapped my Hardwood MKIIc with EQ and EVM12L combo for a MK3c Head with a Marshall 4x10” in London sometime in the late 80s
