What's up everyone. I have made up my mind to add another tube amp/s to my gear stable. At least 2 over time but who knows where it will end up lol. I currently have a Ceriatone Yeti 50 running into Marshall 1960ax cab for analog and I have the digital realm covered with a Quad Cortex running into a Fryette LXII into 2 Gflex 212 cabs. This is a want purchase more than a need purchase. Not to be dramatic but I've had a couple medical issues in the last 3 years that put me at deaths door so...I am going to start working on a bucket list type thing. A little background - I am nothing more than an unglorified bedroom guitarist these days. That being said I was recently offered a Rythm guitar spot in a local cover band that is comprised of old guys like me (was unable to accept as at the i'd just gotten out o fthe hospital and was in recovery). Guess what I am saying is that my situation could evolve from bedroom wanker. At least that is the pan when I get retired like those dudes lol.
Here is the short list as it stands right now (my mind is subject to change hourly
Bogner Uberschall Ultra MK2 - the clips/vids of this thing are unreal. Brutal in a good way. Most likely my first purchase. Just an itch I may need to scratch. Will it get big on the bottom similar to the Rectifier?
Bogner Ecstasy 1010B? Not sure that the best year/model Ecstasy is best but would like to hear opinions. There are a few 101Bs on Reverb under 3k - would speed up the Acquistion timeline for a second purchase.
A Friedman (BE 1000 Deluxe/SS V2 etc - I really like the versatility that the BE 100 Deluxe appears to have. It seems like an amp that will cover a lot of ground. I love the mod'd Marshall tones. The YT vids of the SS V2 are pretty epic as well.
Soldano SLO - What can I say...legendary reputation...just seems like the reviews of the SLO can be all over the map from greates amp of all time to meh. If I get one it'd probably be after I got a couple of the previous 3.
Would like to hear opinions on these from those of you that have some time playing them. Recommendations or critiques. I am not a great player...don't like dry.. I prefer harmonically rich...liquid feeling gain...that type of thing suits me. Of the amps listed are there any that excel at that? any that fall into the dry category when it comes to how it feels under the fingers? Would also be open to hear other suggestions. Thanks.
