What kind of amp do you use?

FYI guys there is a company in Indiana called Webervst (Vintage Sound Technology) run by Ted and his son T.A. Weber that do GREAT speakers. I have them in all my Fenders. They have a copy of a JBL called a California that is supposed to be good. I've also heard they do terrific recones. Cool website. Cool

Thanks, Scott,

Yeah I'm aware of Weber, and may go to them for 15" PA drivers.
I like JBL D120's and D130's when I can get them with original cones, but they are getting rare and therefore pricey.
The recones can be OK, or not, and cost about as much.
I went to K120/130's for a more modern sound and better availablity, but they cost almost as much and aren't as smooth as D's, which sometimes is ok, but for Jazz nothing beats a D120/130.
Right now I'm using an EV-L 12", which is ok.

I have had ok recones, and some that didn't sound like JBL's at all anymore!

If you get a D reconed, be sure it's with an E cone. The only difference is the mount ring, on the D's it was paper, and the E's were a fabric. Same voice coils, same paper cone, same dust cover, just an improved edge that didn't tear. I can't tell any difference in the sound. D recones here in KC (by a reputable guy that does it right) have been about $200.

One of Ted's new 12" California ceramic magnet speakers with the paper dustcap is only $80.00.

Currently I am using a triple XXX head and 4x12 cab with some effects. This will be changing soon. I will be picking up a Randall MTS modular tube rig soon. More than likely the rack mount set up. I will be able to midi switch between a 6L6 and EL34 power section and have a vox AC30, fender tweed, marshall plexi, and bogner ecstacy preamp circuit all in one convenient package! Great stuff! Should be getting it in about a week! Very Happy

Hey Kurt, doesn't the AC30 use 4 EL84's rather than EL34's? I always think of the EL34 as a Marshall sound. Be God's-scott

Scott you may be right! I don't remember the exact amp they pattern the clean after... Only remember it's based on a class a type sound...

hi, i use a laney EA65 - two channel acoustic and electric amp. perfect for church services: can have both guitars at once. it tilts back so i put it on the edge of the stage pointing at me and mic it to the PA. that way i can get enough volume that i can hear it over everybody else. got a foot switch which switches the overdrive and reverb - both very nice. im hopefully geting a hotcake destortion pedal (i already raved about these twice today in this forum!) soon, then i can get more variety in my tone. i also have a proel wah which is good for some interesting tones as well as the traditional funk wahwah. im looking at getting a chorus, delay, and perhaps a tremolo in the future.

i Have a 75w Line 6 Spider II, Its really loud for only 75w, when i play shows it blows people away cuz of how loud it is, its a combo amp. But i wanna get a 500w amp with the line 6 spider II head. with mesa boogie cabs

Well I own a Laney VH100R half stack which I used a lot when I played For a college church called The Awakening. But with the church I'm working at now and the acoustics in the room (its a basketball court), I will either plug my electric through a Line 6 Spider II 210, keep the volume low and mic it, or just run it through some effects pedals and straight into the system. We have a great system, and running straight through doesn't sound too bad. It'd be nice to get the warmth I get from my Laney, but maybe someday. So, That's what I'm using

I use a Marshall MG100DFX Combo, its solid for playing in my garage or just hammering around.

I use an early 70's Princeton Reverb A/B'd with a all tube Marshall Studio 15. They both get miked inti the PA. 15 tube amps is all I need.
