Well, my middle-age GAS crisis started with a small Marshall practice amp and a Line6 Pod Pro. That blossomed into LOTS of tube amps.
Now that I've been forced to do it all again from nothing, I see myself starting with a Kemper and powered PA speakers. After that? Who knows!
I think your idea of a tube amp and my idea of a tube amp may involve different stokes for different folks ..
These were just some of my flock. The Egnater was a custom job by Bruce which basically made it the same as a Bogner Ecstasy. The Marshall head is a '79 JMP modded by Mike Soldano giving me both the thin JCM-800 tones plus a whole 'nother level. That Sovtek Mig-50 had the best clean I'd ever heard and the THD Univalve allowed me to plug and play with a bunch of different tubes on-the-fly (i.e., no biasing required).
When I was forced to liquidate I had over $134k invested in my studio and gear. The Kemper would give me a LOT of variety to play with until I decide what direction to go in. Heck, you're talkin' with someone who still doesn't even have a car! It's going to be a while. I'm not a fan of cheap gear because it's cheap.
Oh yeah, unlike you, I'm more like Edge (with even less ability), someone who hides his lack of talent behind quality gear and lots of effects! LMAO.
(So, basically, I'll be the guy in the boring Camry with a beautiful sounding profile of that Dumble!
