I found my "one" more than a decade ago and it basically shut down all GAS. It was my old Cameron CCV. Saved me 1,000's not needing to hunt for another amp.
Didn't you just sort of recently had a massive gear purge including the CCV?I found my "one" more than a decade ago and it basically shut down all GAS. It was my old Cameron CCV. Saved me 1,000's not needing to hunt for another amp.
Yes. I didn’t need it anymore. To be blatantly honest, I took years working on my JCA20 to get it to sound as close to the CCV as possible. Sure I miss the CCV (a lot) but I still have that sound.Didn't you just sort of recently had a massive gear purge including the CCV?
I agree with you.... BUT it's the thrill of the chase. Getting something new.I stopped flipping amps/guitars 15 years ago. I rarely make new gear purchases at all, maybe a pedal every year or so. I just can't understand the people who are still constantly flipping nonstop after all this time playing. I feel like if you have owned 50 guitars and 50 amps have not found one that makes you happy or you consider a keeper, you probably never will. But if that makes them happy for the moment..that's all that matters.
ok. that's fine. don't sell the 314. if you do, let me know first. I miss mine. I love my d18, but the 314 is special"I'd trade it all for just a little bit more" - Mr. Burns from "The Simpsons"
I've been good for a while now in the amp department, but I've bought amps that I thought would compete. I've sold some, kept some but, yeah, right now today, I have the best rig ever and I doubt it'll be surpassed, ever.
I'll always go check out gear and buy amps and guitars hoping to get that last 1% better gear. Tomorrow I'm buying a Taylor 810ce acoustic to replace my Taylor 314. I sold both my 6 string and 12 string acoustics recently. I replaced the Taylor 355 12 string with a 1967 Gibson B4512 and it was night & day. The sound and playability of the old Gibby is phenomenal, even my girlfriend was floored when I'd played them side by side, it was truly unreal. I'm thinking the 810 will satisfy my need for a good enough for now guitar.
A '74 2203?Started with a 5150II, couldn’t afford a Marshall, modded it to oblivion, played that for ages.
I played a Laney GH100TI. Loved it. Swore I’d own one. I didn’t know at the time it was JCM800 based.
Bogner XTC was based on playing an uberschall rev green at Lugo’s amp fest in 2010. I knew the XTC was Marshall based.
The metroplex was more of a dream amp, that was the most recent and arguably last one I’ve bought - it can do EVH, modded Marshall, ‘68 stock, ‘67 stock, and has gig friendly features.
The 1974 Marshall that I’ve repaired and built the past few years is what gets all of my play time though.
Order that id sell them from most likely to least likely:

Spent a whole year from designing it in LTSpice to building it. I’ve spent all of this year tweaking it tone wise.A '74 2203?
That must be a converted 1959 SLP
