    Now I just use vst plugins.

    A Roland Cube is indeed a decent amp :yes:

    A late 70s Linear Combo 50. Massive, heavy thing with 4 inputs, used to stick a guitar, bass and a drum machine through it all at the same time, never managed to blow it up. This is the one, not my actual amp though.

    MARSHALL12.jpg Phloopy, you really have great taste :wink:
    I only own a little Marshall Reverb 12 (with spring reverb :) that does not sound too bad for practicing.
    Otherwise I'm mostly using a Behringer MIC100 into a Boss VF-1 and/or a Zoom MS-100BT. Ah yes, and a Whammy 5 :bleh:
    Great for both "standard" and experimental stuff.

    I owned a few rack preamps over the years:
    Hughes and Kettner Access
    Rocktron Piranha
    Marshal JMP-1
    Soho QTR-1
    ADA MP-1
    Mesa Studio pre
    Peavey Rock Master - which I still own and love, but unfortunately needs a cap job
    Amps based on the Rock Master pre are some of the best low budget high gain tube amps available today.

    Recently I started combining a PV Bravo's preamp section with Henry Olanga's hi-rez ampsims for very organic electric sounds. I won't be needing S-gear,Kazrog or Amplitube etc for recording.

    Great taste: I bought fairly cheap second hand around 74 - 75 ... it was already pretty old then with tubes and stuff. The trick was to turn it on at least 15 minuts before you should play, but I tell you: After 15 minuts it sounded amazing! There was nothing like great taste then. You just bought what you could afford and I was lucky!

    Here are mine from the start at about 1990 until now that I can remember (still own the last two). Had a couple of non-brand crappy things before the Park amp too but have no memory of what they were! I'm sure I have a Laney combo somewhere too and a Fender Princeton budget lookalike that I can't remember the model name.

    I'm more of a hobbyist home guitarist (and don't really have the space) so never bother with head/cab setups and even though I've been in a few bands, I always used my combos or lent someone else's from another band.
