Line 6 Pro Units

Green Sovtek Muff and Small Stone
Sunn Amps

Cant believe I forgot to mention the line6 pro rack units. I never used one but they always seemed to be great sounding. If they still made them I would more than likely pick up atleast a mod pro

Had all 3. Kept the Filter and hocked the others after the GMajor2 was released. My buddy is trying to sell the Echo back to me and I'm very tempted. They are all stellar units and the concept of specializing them by effect type was brilliant.

Mesa Mark IIC+

Hamer Californian Elite USA model

Those Hamers were really nice. I'm actually not much of a Super strat guy but I always loved the feel of Jackson's maple necked bolt-on's from the late 80's. Excellent satin kind of finish and played like butter. Everything else I would want can be found pretty easily used. Never tried a IIC+ before so that would be interesting.

Analog tape machines and Analog tape. Wish I still had my Otari, half inch 8 track and a decent supply of 456 or 499. Record on that and then dump into the computer.

I miss old Marshalls that sounded GOOD; they make re-issues, but I've never cared much for them. I guess I miss all of the old, discontinued parts that went into making vintage Marshalls sound the way they did. Hunts/Erie, Daly, RS, murata, and Lemco Dogbone caps, ISKRA and Piher resistors, transformers that don't suck, good sounding 12ax7s like Mullards and Amperex, among others and a host of other things I can't think of off the top of my head. There are some good modern equivalents like Sozo's, F&T and Rifa caps, Merren Audio transformers and the tube choices are slowly getting better, but Play a 1959 Marshall SLP reissue next to a real Plexi, or even a good metal panel, and the difference is huge. It makes the reissues sound harsh, thin, brittle and sterile. I don't think it would be possible with what is currently available to re-create the amps of old, but you would think for just a couple of bucks more per amp, they could at least do their legacy justice.

Roland JC-120

Roland still make the Jazz Chorus 120. I bought mine new only a few years ago.

I don't know if they have the JC-160 though. It was a 4x10" combo amp, massive. Robert Smith of The Cure used it live, while he used the JC-120 in the studio.

I would actually like to try one of those J. Yuenger Iceman's. The green one with the white stars. So Ibanez should do a sign model retrospective release year and also through in the Paul Stanley sig Iceman.

They are NOT the same, I have a 1986 model and it is better than the new versions by a mile imo.

Just thought of something. Most of the discontinued gear talked about here, especially pedals and amps are available by several builders in complete or kit form. Examples would be The Boss Chorus pedal which is available ready to go by AnalogMan or kit form like BYOC, etc.
