[domingooo]

Hi Folks... easy cuestion... i hope lot of anwers..

Please stay away of custums and boutike amps... just regular mass markets amp.

no money limitation.

WICH AMP?
WICH CAB?

 

[MarcusGHedwig]

Impossible to pick one amp or cab, especially without any style guidelines - however, while there are tons of great amps, as far as cabs are concerned I know I would be happy for the rest of my life with three: a Rectifier Standard (oversized) 4x12, Marshall 1960, and either a Marshall 425 or EVH 4x12 (for my Greenback fix)

Fortin Natas/Randall Satan with Mesa OS cab

 

[Heabow]

I'd buy a 5150 III for sure and probably a Marshall DM 4x12.

 

[K Odell]

ENGL Fireball 100 + Mesa OS

 

[Adrian Warren]

Blackstar 1046L6 & Zilla 4x12

 

[electricred]

I'm currently on honeymoon with a 5150 III, so this opinion is subject to change... but damn, this amp really works for me.

 

[Uros]

JVM + 4x12 w/ V30s (rec) or with 2x12 w/ V30s (shows).

ENGL Special edition

 

[C-Martin]

I'm really GASing for a ENGL right now but if it would be for my personal use it would be the following:

Mesa Mark IV Long head
Mesa Rectifier Standard 4x12 Standard (Oversized)

This is just purely based on my preference but to this day i still love the Mark IV and it still is the amp i judge other amps against for high gain tones. I own a Mark IV long combo and i love it, especially when plugged into some V30s! I would love to have a head version. I initially wanted a head but the only Mark IV i could find at the time was this combo.

If your asking for something you can purchase today then i would go with the same setup but with a Mark V instead.

Not that it's my 'dream amp' or anything like that cause I'm old enough and have been around the block so much as to see through the hype... but if I was comfortable enough to drop 5 grand on an amp I'd buy a Diezel. A herbert or a vh4. Or both.

But honestly if I had the money I'd own at least one of every amp ever made.

 

[Robert W]

JCM800 and a old Marshall cab.

 

[EffigyForgotten]

Fryette sig x, Engl invader 100, and Orange rockerberb 50 watt.

Vader 4x12.

 

[BLUElightCory]

For heavy stuff? Wizard Modern Classic, VHT/Fryette Pitbull Ultralead or the new Mesa Triple Rectifier.

As for the cab, probably Mills.

 

[HCL]

Uberschall or a Recto probably. I'd rather get an oversized cab or a better room to track guitars in though.

Actually saying that I'd love a Fireball 100..

 

[DocSauerkraut]

Axe FX II.
Does this count?

 

[Empathy]

MI Audio Megalith Beta + Krank Revolution 412

Already got the Megalith, just wish I could find the cab for sale somewhere. The only one I know of in my city is in the hands of a very happy owner.

 

[zakky]

ENGL Fireball 60 + 4x12 Mesa V30 cab

 

[StefTD]

probably a Rivera Knucklehead K-Tre or a Fryette Sig X into a Mesa Stiletto Cab.
