Interested to know what did everyone start out with?
It was the 80s and I was a teenager so I plugged my Hondo strat into my home stereo and used that, then I figured out I could get an overdrive sound by plugging into a battery powered pair of walkman speakers I had, and wired the speaker leads to a plug to go into my stereo shortly after that I was able to "upgrade" to the mighty Peavey Rage and boy did I feel cool with my also newly acquired vester stage series plugged into that bad boy!
How can I be sure I'm here?
The pills that I've been taking confuse me...
Some hideous home made ss thing called The Coffin. Only extreme youth and ignorance combined with a fistful of holiday job dollars could ever have resulted in such an abomination.
From that baseline, a Fender Princeton Chorus seemed amazing.

"Compact, easy to use and versatile enough for any style of guitar playing, the 20-watt Champion 20 is an ideal choice for your first practice amp", according to Fender. I moved on up to the 22-watt Princeton Reverb II, which I am still using all these years later.

First actual real amp:
Peavey bandit-grey logo before the teal stripe. I entered into an illegal HP contract as i was 16 and my mum didnt sign. I dont think she payed anything for it and i kept it for 2 years before i felt bad and took it back. Didnt hang around to discuss details and im pretty sure it went out on the floor as a demo model lol
Concord 351 Allegro. 5W. Very early 1960's (unsure of actual date). Second amp was a Dynacord (German) amp of I think 15W (unsure). All the controls were graphics instead of English words.

Me too, I put a DS1 in front of it to try and get some sort of high gain noises. It didn't work.
Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and he'll spend thousands on fishing equipment he'll use for a bit, then get bored and move onto something else.
