I traded for a Hot Rod Deluxe that has been modded by Jim West at Omega Amps a while back. I dropped a Celestion V30 in there and I just end up using it more often that not. Cool Blackface clean tones, excellent crunchies from the Omega mods, lightweight and portable, loud enough to do most anything I've been doing. What about ya'll?  |

I only have two amps a Vox AD30VT and a Blackstar HT5S.
The Blackstar cleans with a bit of compression are pretty nice but the Blackstar crunch tones are what this amp is all about really.
Not used the Vox for months

I just got a Vox ac4tv head and matching cab with a 12" custom made Celestion speaker for Christmas. I go to that every time now. I can't wait until I get my Fender Telecaster back from the repair shop to try it through this amp. It'll be like Christmas all over again. ;D

I heve heard a fair bit about these Swart atomic space tone amps. All good ;D They are pretty rare in the UK - I think there is one dealer listed  |

Pretty rare in Texas too. I've heard great things about them and judging from the Mojo vids it is a well earned reputation. Of course thanks are in order to Mojo for creating yet MORE GAS in me. As if I needed an excuse for more GAS. ;D

I've only got one-and-half amps....
1. Miniature Marshall MS2 that's been lying around for years- I have no idea where it came from.
2. Roland Cube 30. Being clueless about this whole guitar thing I bought what most revues agreed was the best starter amp and I'm impressed so far.

Just got a Fender Blues Junior and love the clean sound but....
I agree that the Roland mini cube is a great amp to have.
Heard my cousin play his acoustic through his and was blown away
by the sound, so it's the next one on my list.

Blues Junior a sweet amp - I wish they did a head as well as a combo
I would love it for cleans.
Has it got a power soak at all it must be pretty loud and hard to get natural crunch at low volumes
Congratulations on your first post seen you lurking about ;D

Lurking is one of my bad habits.

My 'go to' amp is my only amp at the moment. A Fender Champ 600. I had a solid state amp, but I traded it in towards the purchase of my Tradition Tele. I also use my Vox AC30 AmPlug as a regular amp sometimes. I hook it up to my old boom box using the 'line in' option. It sounds pretty good, but my Fender is where it's at right now!

Fender has a little Champ sized amp out that has some modeling technology and some drum and bass loops built in. I tried one out at GC the other day. Ton's of fun.
Anyone else try this one out?

I am using the only one that works at the moment. It is a Marshall MG Combo 10 CD, I have an older Marshall Master Lead, but it needs some work, I think there are some cold solder points in it.

I can never decide which one to take, so I go high tech with a POD XT live and usually use the fender black face mod and run it through the PA.. Guitar amps, unless they are mic'd only have a very narrow dispersion. say 45 to 60 degrees so unless you are standing infront of it , you don't hear every part. Since I am older now I don't like to carry anything too heavey. I know it's all digital but The sounds are endless with this thing. Phil
