Attempting to assemble an ABC rig

It's silly, I know....

But, what the heck!

A: JTM45/100 build, Fender Super Twin Reverb
B: ???
C: Carol-Ann Triptik 2 C channel or ?



I'm going to mess around more to finalize the B and C amps...

Very nice! You got that west coast tone. Can't help you on a 3rd amp, that sound fantastic as is. Great combo Bear!

Diezel VH4 or Hagen? ...or higher gain Marshall or Mesa?

I have a MKIII I will try tomorrow. But I also have a Quickrod that I love.... I've had a VH4 before. While it is a killer amp, I think a Herbert might be more to my liking. But these are large format amps. I'm attempting to build an ABC rig that I might actually be able to use in my local watering holes....

Quickrod was always on my "modded Marshall" list but I went with a Bogner Helios Eclipse...which is not in a large headshell.

given your A and C, something with 500 to 100W and higher gain looked like a good fit, but so many options/flavors down that rabbithole
 
A little more experimenting today.

I'm leaning in this direction:

A: JTM45/100, Super Twin Reverb
B: my 2204 build
C. Splawn Quickrod

yup!! pretty sure we met then. The tone of that amp haunts me to this day, just flat out ballsy and punchy with the perfect midrange

It was based on an Express. Fun amps, but very loud for 30 watts....I even experimented with Octal preamp tubes in that type of circuit.
 
A little more progress:

I haven't settled on the C amp. Today the Quickrod is the choice, but tomorrow it may be the MKIII...
