This baby is well on the way( 1971 Super reverb), sadly family trouble has got me a bit behind in my restoration work, but I have a feeling this one will soon be "the one". Sometimes ya just have to put family first!

Since I haven't gigged since the beginning of time, all of my amps are small for practicing and recording. My fav at the moment is my Vibro Camp XD.

I have been playing thru Native Instruments Guitar Rig pushing a PA system. A few months ago I fell in love with the new Super Champ X2 and bought one in the Blond & Ox Blood color combo. All of my guitars sound like new instruments to me and I have not even played with the Fuze software yet.

I didn't realize how much dynamics you give up with sims, just bending a note and holding it is a new experiance again. I loved the versatility and ease of use of Guitar Rig, but I am finding new tones everyday with this little X2.

In the old days I mainly played through an ancient Twin Reverb which my band mate owned. I did flirt with a Marshall Plexi & 1/2 stack for a couple of years, but it was TOO LOUD even when playing desert parties ! ! !

This is my go to amp, 1985 Mesa Boogie Mark III. It's also my only amp, but the good thing is that it can get pretty much every tone possible, love this amp!

My main amp is my Hughes & Kettner Studio 84.
I like it better that the Marshall half stack, and,
just as much as the mesa boogie DC5.

I use a Zoom NGU1 pedal a lot, but the tone of my
1998 American Standard Strat plugged
straight in to the H&K can't be beat!

I have a G-Dec 3.0 and my MIM Strat sounds especially good through any of the Vox models.

My go to amps for around the house are either my Vox Mini-3(when the Missus is home) or my AC-15 (when she's gone out).If I go anywhere for a jam I usually take my 1984 JCM 800 4210 1-12 combo.When I am gigging I use my "wall of sound" which is my guitar and effects plugged straight into the instrument input of the JCM 800,4210 (I never use the effects loop in any amp-they are tone robbers IMHO)the signal from the 4210 is slaved out into an Ibanez DM-1000 then I send the wet signal to my 1969 Fender Bassman with a 2-15 1968 Bassman "driprail cab" and an early CBS era Leslie model 16 loaded with a deadly old JBL K-120.The dry signal goes into my 1983 Marshall JCM 800,2204 stack with Celestion G-12-L-25s.When I engage a modulation pedal such as a flanger or phase shifter or better yet my Tech 21 RotoChoir Leslie emulator, along with some echo and the old Leslie spinning,the resulting sound getting thrown around is just incredible and you really can't tell where the sound is originating from as it seems like it's coming from all over.
