Question Amps and Balls

[jisham]

As a newbie to EBMMs, specifically the Axis, I'm wondering what amps you guys use/prefer, particularly those who play out live.

I'm currently using a Bogner Alchemist head with a 412 cab loaded with V30s. However, I'm thinking about picking up a Bugera 6262 or Peavey 6505 Plus to add to my amp stable.

Thanks.

sixtyfour, that is some cool looking set-up ya got.

...I don’t gig so my amp is not worth mentioning.

 

[jisham]

Wow, that PBB Axis is freekin' killer. Love that finish. Cool amp too although I've never heard one I don't think.

Might be cool to see what style of music people play in this thread too. Although I enjoy most everything, I'm currently in a southern rock cover band.

The PBB and HK look great together!

I run an SLO-100 w/ 2x12 (eminence legends) or 4x12 (eminence X12000) depending on the venue and how much I feel like lugging around. I've played my Axis Sport through it several times, but more often than not I am using a JP or Gold Roller. I want to try a 6505 in the future, I've heard it will sound somewhat similar to my SLO

These bad boys.

Have a little Suhr Badger as well for jamming. Small and light.

I had a Splawn Quickrod and then a Suhr/CAE OD-100 to nail the 80's/VH sound. Now I get everything with the Axe-FX Ultra.

Wow! That's just awesome!
Wait, do I see a picture of Homer on the wall?

Here are my amps (I don't play out anymore though)
Line 6 Flextone II HD Head going into a custom made slanted 4 x 12 cabinet with Celestion Vintage 30's, Crate Stealth 50 Lee Jackson (all tube!) combo with 1 x 12 Celestion Vintage 30 and my Line 6 Low Down LD175 Bass combo.

My Rig

Hey all,
I run my balls through a Marshall JMP1 preamp with the JFX1 fx unit and slave it through a 1x12 Marshall combo(FX return) with a closed back.
I use this in my studio when teaching and it sounds GREAT!.
I will bump it with a Maxon OD808 for the EVH sounds.
I have yet to find anything at any price that sounds better(and I have tried about everything out there).
This rig works live too and when recording.
Sounds great with an Axis, Sub1 and my Morse.
Sorry no pics as its down at the studio.
Cheers

Gone are the days I had roadies (techs nowadays?) to lug around my Marshall 4 x 12 and 50 watt Marshall head, so I've gone with combos for quite a few years.
I use my Marshall or Mesa F50 for small venues (di' ing my AER for the piezo)
At small pub venues I use my 15 watt Fender Blues Junior which is a tad delicious.

 

[andynpeters]

When I was in my duo it was a Boss GT5 straight into the PA, now it's a Peavey Delta Blues

 

[B2D]

Currently running a Bogner ECstasy 101B through a Marshall 1936 2x12 or a Carvin V3 4x12. Both cabs are loaded with a mix of Emi Governors and Man-O-Wars.

 

[jisham]

Cool stuff...thanks for sharing. I saw a band a few months ago whose guitarist used a Guytron with Tom Anderson guitars. Great tone.

I found some rig pics from a recent gig:

And might as well as throw in this pic of my newest acquisition that just showed up yesterday:

 

[marantz1300]

I use this Hiwatt .Its a 73 DR112(I might have had a bit to drink when I took the pic).I also have a Fender Champ 600 in my work locker.

 

[Slav123]

Sweet Axi!

I never get tired of posting this pic

1973 (like me) Hiwatt DR103, with a pair of home-made 2x12" cabs. One loaded with Webber Thames and one loaded with Celestion GH100 (I think)

 

[banjoplayer]

I play a Laney LH50R + a very old Laney cab and a Crate VC30. used to have a Marshall DSL401, but sold it... didn´t like it...
You also find a lot of amps there

OK and dont laugh because this little thing is killer, though I do plan to add another head this year, I am the crazy beagle, and the Blackstar cab is very upgraded

 

[jcm900]

I have a Mesa Roadster head with a Mesa 212 Recto cabinet, and some stompboxes. that's my 'A' rig.

My B rig is a Line6 Spider Valve 212 combo. Easy to set up, relatively easy to transport.

And I use a line6 Pod 2.0 at home for practising and learning.
