Amps with their OWN thing going....which ones?

[Diplodomare]

Rhodes Amplification's Colossus H-100. Just tried it with EL-34's. The amp continues to impress....

It's going to be comical to some, considering the Mesa hate, but I vouch that the Royal Atlantic is an amp that has its own thing going. Unlike the Stiletto that is trying to be a modded Marshall, the RA-100 is really a voice that is unique and original. Mix that with the power attenuation that is available PER channel, and the 50/100 watt option (entire amp), and you have one hell of an original amp. The tone is so good. You just need to get some volume behind it -- even with the attenuators on.

I vote the two high gain makers that dominate different and unique. DAR and FORTIN all the way

Most innovative amps imo ^^^

I guess at this point everything kinda sounds like something, but out of what I have played,, to me amps that have there own thing goin on would probably be,
Diezel, VHT, Budda, Matchless, Orange, Bogner, I guess more than I can think of right now,,but all of these are very distinctive to me.

When I read the question....Without hesitation Fortin came to mind.
It's own thing is a very good thing..

 

[jharpersj]

Carol Ann and Deizel come to mind

I understand what you mean. Although I appreciate the work & effort put into them, I'm not really into the modded Marshall thing etc. I have a stock Marshall JCM 800 and want it to stay that way.

I guess my Mesa/Boogie MarkIV would have its "own thing" going, even though it is the fourth reincarnation of the Mesa/Boogie MarkI. Oh hang on, maybe it won't qualify, because it was evolved from a modded Fender Princeton?

Damn, I dunno then, sorry.



What about Engl amps? They are a bit different. Vox definitely are their own style.

 

[NS10Fan]

Fortin, 65 Amps and the stuff I've heard from Shaw Audio are, imo, pretty unique and not the easiest tones to cop with just any amp.

 

[O'Rourke]

Baron amps have a pretty unique feel to them, along with VHT's/Fryettes. Doesn't come across as obviously in clips as it does when you're playing them, more of a feel/response thing than drastic tone difference.

The voicing on Framus amps is pretty distinctive.

 

[Mr. Willy]

Hiwatts too.

 

[RJF]

IMHO, Framus Cobra. It has it's own very unique sound.

Diezel, unique "hi-fi" clean hi gain sound

I see a lot of people saying Bogner, but for me, with regards to the Uberschall, I don't find it to be unique at all. It is way too similar to a Recto to be unique IMHO.

 

[the rossness]

Bogner XTC

H&K

Mesa Mark V

Roland JC120

Fryette/ VHT

Orange

Dime DT100

Soldano SLO (though it is based on a Super Lead)

Krank Kankenstein+

 

[Dr. Swamp]

Bogner, Orange, VHT, AC30

I don't think the uber sounds much like a recto, at all.

Played one at a GC in Indiana, decent sounding and different.

Hmm, my TJ sounds pretty close to my early 2 channel dual, just has more mids than my recto.
