What's your #1 right now?

Post by FleshOnGear » Sat May 14, 2016 2:55 am

For me it's the OR100 again. But we all go through cycles, don't we? My two favorite amps are at home right now, and I play both every time I sit down to play. Love the Jubilee, love the OR, but the OR is more useful with the band. Probably going to sell the DSL. What's your #1 right now?

I use my AD15 for practice more often, but love my RV50 too.
The small combo nature of the AD15 just makes it a very practical amp.

Agreed that it depends on use.

For gigging with my pedalboard: Traynor YBA-1 Mod1 because it takes pedals like a champ

For a pickup and go amp without my pedalboard: The Dual Terror is awesome because it's portable and you can get a 2 channel setup either clean/dirty or dirty/lead with nothing more than a simple footswitch.

For Home practice: Split between the Dual Terror and Traynor YCS90


As far as guitars: Gibson SG, followed by Classic Vibe Thinline Tele

And guitar wise.... Still my Les Paul Standard faded.

Whilst I also love my Vigier Expert (high end strat type), most if the music I've written to date is LP material.
I just love this thick dark grunt you can get from a LP with an Orange amp. :)

I have only 1 amp and 1 guitar, so they're my #1s.

I only have one gig amp, the rv mkll+212. Guitarwise its my SG for classic rock and my L.P. standard in drop D for cleans and modern. I'm pretty stoked over my tone with the SG these days. I'm using the mxr micro boost as an always on, just past noon, and a boss ge-7 with a slight mid hump... it really cuts through nicely and let's me use both pups. Some songs I don't even need to hit my boost, just switch to the bridge pup and role up the volume a tad!!

My micro-dark and 112 are my "at-home" #1 and usually my l.p. junior which is always in standard tuning.

Obviously, I'm mainly using my Rocker 30 these days, since it's still very new to me. I did however use my TH100 the other day, as I lent the R30 to a friend to try out, and I'm still very much in love with the tones from the TH100.

Guitar wise I'm using my Strat. I'm trying to put together a post-rock band, so those clean Strat tones are my preferred sound right now. If we dirty it up some, I'll be picking up the Tele as well. :)

My #1s are my G&L ASAT Z3 (T-type) and the AD140 Lead, currently driving my new PPC412 angled cab. That dark fuzzy crunch paired with the fat Tele attack is irresistible, and the guitar volume cleanup is unreal. It's quite loud, but small price to pay for a lease in the tone zone. 8)

Ricky 4003W Bass, Bax Bangeetar, though whichever amp is handiest for the venue. Grungy! :D
