Amp line up

[GrantB]

Thanks to Conway I’m back to full backline and more.

Now, to convince my eldest to move out so I can turn his room into an amp room.

What's the burgundy number there?

Also, Princeton plus Plexi is about all the amp I'd ever really need.

[Mr Bungle]

I’ve got a ‘66 Princeton Reverb & a ‘70 Princeton. But I’m really keen on a Marshall SV20C.

What’s the Marshall you’ve got there? 74?

[Slowy]

Great collection Grant!

But you do realise you've just created a thread where you go through your impressions of these beasties?

Can't wait!

If you want the 1974 tone I don't think an SV20 will get you there.

Edit: sorry, I was thinking of the Origin 20. Haven't tried the SV. As you were.

Impressive line up Grant!

I think the the amplifier wins my heart when it comes to the gear I like most.

[FuzzMonkey]

Nice collection Grant.

To be fair, there are only four amps there. Just looks impressive.

We have, l to r

1973 Princeton Reverb
2022 Trinity TC15 head on
2010 ish Marshall 1974CX cab
2014 (?) Divided by 13 BTR23
2017 Divided by 13 cab
2007 )I think) 65Amps Tupelo

So that gives me Fender, Vox/Matchless, HiWatt and, well, old school rock tones resp. Covered!

I’ve had many 1974X amps. I love them but I still find them too loud or too quiet depending on one’s circumstances. The sweet spot often doesn’t suit the moment. If That makes sense

Yeah, they are a quiet 18W that is too loud for the bedroom and not loud enough for a drummer. I'm going to chuck an attenuator in mine too see if that helps. Dulling the treble a touch wouldn't be the end of the world either.

A higher efficiency speaker goes a fair way to fixing the drummer thing. I used this cab (Celestion Blue) under a bog standard 1974X combo, and it was loud enough for a medium size un-mic'd gig. Funny how things change though - I'm looking for lower volume behind me now, and mic the amp up and let the PA do the work...then it's balanced also.

The TC15 gets that Marshall vibe (without the mid range so much) thing and the MV is astoundingly good. MisterB and I were playing it Friday night and were surprised how low it could go without turning into a fart.

[jeremyb]

Is the TC15 more plexi or jcm kinda tones?

[GrantB]

More 1974X Marshall thing, but it’s really more hot Vox/Matchless…
