Amplifiers
These are my amps , I "picked them up" because of the varied sounds I need for different works
FENDER BASSMAN '69
A great amp for bass and guitar, made by Fender after it was sold to CBS. This is the first of the Black Face stock produced . It has a great clean sound and if you go over volume 5, it gives an outstanding light crunch sound.
MESA BOOGIE STUDIO CALIBER
A nice combo from MESA. The lead channel has a distorted tone of rare taste, whilst the clean channel is shiny and crystalline. It gets bigger if you add a 4 x 12 cabinet, (like my Marshall), which improves the single Black Shadow speaker, created by the Mesa engineers..
MUSIC MAN RD 65
It's easy to talk about this amp, it's born for country blues!!, it has the perfect twang, and the tone and colour of the mid frequencies are very hard to find in other amps!!
MARSHALL JCM JUBILEE 800 (Anniversary Edition)
The JCM 800 Jubilee is a classic, it is one of best amps made by Jim Marshall. It is without doubt one of the most versatile of the MArshall and JCM series. Boost the lead channel and you get a very aggressive sound, whilst the clean channel, although it's a Marshall is CLEAN if you don't push the input gain too much.
DELUXE REVERB BLACK FACE
The Deluxe Blackface is a re-issue. I'm very curious to try an A/B test with an original. I would not too surprised if its tone was not too far from the original. If you want that Fender amp sound then. this amp is what you're looking for. A high class tremolo and reverb are included too. SIMPLY GREAT!
CABINETS
This is a Marshall cabinet stack, but the speaker is no longer a Celestion as I've changed it for a Ceramic Jensen. As you can see from the picture I've cut away the Marshall logo, because it was attached to a horizontal wooden bar that with close miking didn't allow the right sound.
This is my Marshall Cabinet 4 x12, matched with a Jubilee JCM head. I try to use it with other amps to get a bigger sound. Its four speakers are Celestion G12-75.
