Wait. You said wall of Amps, right?
 
Never mind.




I think you're a shade off there Bubba.

I've had all sorts of vintage and boutique amps over lo these many years. And still own my Strawberry Blonde for acoustic gigs and my Egnater Rebel 20 head/speaker combo for electric gigs.

And even though I still have the Kemper in the studio I still prefer my 150 watt Fender Mustang for all live work. Light as a feather, loud as fook, and beautifully modeled. Works great with pedals as well.

Still wish I had my 1964 Princeton Reverb though. I miss it near to death.

I wish I had your 64 Princeton too. I had a67 Vibrolux I would like to get back.

My first amp was some kind of Fender no power special along with a Hondo guitar.  Crap into crap amplified.
 
Then I had a 200W Yamaha amp that looked a little like this:
 

 
Along with a 1976 Les Paul that looked like this:
 

 
Except I had Dimarzio Super Distortions.

You think that was crap? A friend had a Hondo which was incredible compared to my Les Paul copy. As for the amp...
 

 
 
My first decent amp was a solid state Marshall like this one.

 
By that time, after a few horrible replica, I'd graduated to a Made in Korea Fender Strat Squier.

I haven't owned a usable amp for about 20 years now. I have occasionally fooled a few people into thinking I have though




No doubt one such an amp that you did own at that time may have been usable by a member of XTC?

I bought a used '63 Fender J bass and a used brownface Fender combo amp in '67 for the high school band I played in. I can't remember the specific amp model and I have no pictures (my mother gave away all of my music gear after I enlisted in the Army; never saw any of it again; I was P'd off then, and still am now). I also had a Farfisa minicompact that I plugged into the same amp (we just HAD to cover 96 Tears, right? ).
 
A genuine replacement for the bass would have cost me many thousands, so I bought a Fender repro of the '63. It's black instead of sunburst, and it's MIM and not pre-CBS MIA, but it sounds pretty much the same to my ears. I put Pyramid Gold flats on it and never looked back.
 
I'd love to get my hands on an old Fender Bassman at some point.

That Ceriatone is enticing but I'd want one of the JTM-45 or 45/100 kits, if they still sell them. I've never heard anything bad about Ceriatone.
I had an original Peavey Classic 20 combo with the 10" speaker. I never liked the tone of it, I think it was the speaker, it sounded "boxy" (whatever boxy means), lots of midrange, not much sparkle. I had a 1x15 Delta Blues too, I miss it. I've flirted with the Classic 30 but then I think of the Fender Blues Jr and I think I'd rather have the B Jr.
I remember seeing a full stack Peavey Classic 100 in the store... I've always wished I had the chance to try one... I mean 8 el84s! How cool is that (until you need to retube it). I bet it is a monster.
I'd like to have a Silvertone 1482 too. When I was a kid some of the best local players were using Silvertone guitar with the amp in the case.
The 1485 all tube was a true monster. I had a VOX "Y" cable and plugged into both channels. That amp was different it had TWO output transformers, one for each channel. SO, using the "Y" cable truly doubled the output. I used to open the window and play The WHO's "I Can See For Miles", you could hear it a mile away! No kidding.
 
Huh? You'll have to speak up...
