: Brent, I have been looking very hard for a combo amp. I have a big rig, but need something for smaller dates. I have played a ton of stuff, but mostly in music stores where you can only tell so much. If you were on a desert Island (with power!), what amp would you take? I play mostly strat's (Tyler's). I appreciate the insight.
hi brian--great question. it's really going to depend on your personal touch and taste, but an old, properly serviced deluxe reverb, or princeton reverb for tone will be tough to beat. there are very few great tones that you can't get from these, but also a dumble sounds amazing as well as victoria amps. there are many newer boutique type amps i'm not that familiar with that may sound amazing, but sometimes it's hard to go wrong with the basics--thanks, brent...
