You also have to distinguish between boutique jewelry and pro gigging amps. I'd tried one in a store and wasn't impressed then. The tone wasn't set to something I would normally use but the feel of the amp made it a blast to play through and a believer out of me.
I had a chance to sit in on a cranked /13 in a decent sized room once.
The thing with a good high end amp is the feel and response. Last time I paid attention, more than a year ago, Dumble ODS' on the open market were well over $50k with talk of some on the $70k range. One guy wants to sound just like Dave Mustaine and another guy wants to sound just like Joe Pass.) But even there, you're talking about a range of targets.
(Except, perhaps, for those guitarists - and we know they are legion - who want to sound just like so-and-so. It's easy to define the goal when you're talking about accuracy/transparency of signal.īut when you're picking gear because of its idiosyncratic but hopefully euphonic characteristics, there is no single, readily agreed upon target. But the whole time I'm going to be worried that, while hopefully eliminating the things I don't like, I might negatively impact the things I do like.

One of these days, I'm planning on doing some of the Bill Machrone mods pertinent to my model/vintage. I guess Fender hadn't figured this stuff out after nearly a half century of building amps. Fixed, somewhat, I'm told, in later versions. (Hiss isn't too bad unless you want to use the famous/infamous Fender spring reverb, which appears to have some of the worst designed impedance buffering ever designed into a piece of gear. I own and have owned much technically-better (and certainly much better built) amps than the (original version) Blues Jr I have (which is really a typically flawed piece of Fender 'crapmanship') - but there is something about it that just works with my J-Strat's single coil pick ups in a way that makes me want to (though I never quite can) forgive the hiss and hum that is implicit to its operation. ?Guitar amps are very different from recording gear in the sense that - traditionally - recording gear was rated and valued for its accuracy (that's been somewhat upended by those who have returned to analog tape because they like some aspects of the signal degradation implicit in that medium).īut about the last thing one typically wants (unless he's the cat from Chic) is a faithful reproduction of a naked electric guitar's pick up output.

So I ask this (out of curiosity), if I were looking to buy an guitar amp that was very clear, warm, bassy, jazzy, etc, (for non-metal music and non-distortion heavy music, with the amp having pretty bare-bones effects) and with money not being an issue, what amps would any of you recommend for really better, tighter sounds with the above characteristics? And would paying a lot of money on a higher-end amp result in large, noticeable improvements in sound, or would that be a waste of money because basic tube amp technology remains the same as 30 years ago and a guitar amp is a guitar amp? And what amps do really successful, great sounding, well produced bands use and record in their professional recording studio? Are they recording the same amps that the at-home amateur music hobbyists are recording? ( And when I say high-end amps, I mean amps that cost over say $1500 and can reach a price that is pretty high). Because for most other gear out there (acoustic guitars, electric guitars, microphones, etc), there is a good amount of high-end gear available and a lot of the time when you buy high-end equipment you get your money's worth in regards to better sounds or other improvements (or so I've found). So I'm wondering if there are high-end guitar amps that cost more for clear-cut better sounds, better sound quality, tone, etc, rather than more power and features. Otherwise, it appeared that most guitar amps were in a certain modest cost range and that the only thing making some amps more expensive was that they were bigger and more powerful (designed for shows) or had more built-in effects settings like reverb, tremelo, distortion, amp modeling, etc. And it seemed like most of the higher priced guitar amps out there were either artist-named special editions, boutique amps, or vintage remakes with most of them being "hand wired" which greatly increased the cost. So my curiosity had me wondering are there high-end guitar amps out there? And if there are, would the additional cost have the benefits of better, tighter sounds and better tones, etc?īecause it seemed to me there weren't many expensive high-end amps out there, (or so I thought until I did some thorough research online).
