Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!
My favorite guitar amp? I'd say any older tube driven Marshall heads (like a JCM800) with a 60's era Celestion speaker equipped 4x12 cabinets would be my first choice... there's just nothing IMO better than that warm Marshall sound (a "Marshall Stack")... Second would be Probably a tie between Mesa Boogie and Peavy (I love my Red Stripe Peavy bandit 112 even though it's a transistor amp aka "trans-tube")
Glad to hear you're into the vintage analog audio! I totally agree, it's how sound was supposed to sound! People don't get it these days, they can't hear what they're missing from music today.. because it's not there.
Hey Laura! I've been playing quite a bit lately actually. I've moved my amp to the garage since I never use it in the house (I use the PC and the ME-80 as my USB interface and play through Native Instruments Guitar Rig 5. (And various other recording applications, DAWS and amp modeling/FX software)) so in the garage is where I do all my "loud" practicing. I've got my turntable and stereo equipment out there as well, which has plenty of audio inputs so I can do backing track jam sessions and play along with songs and such.I'm glad you're doing well, especially with quitting smoking!
Have you done anything new with music?
What kind of guitar amps do you like?
I've gotten into analogue gear for home music listening on a big way.
I'm using a valve phono preamp and a valve headphone amp. I just love the warm sound it gives my vinyls. My vinyl collection is growing too. I will need more storage for my albums soon, since they are outgrowing the milk crates I keep them in.
