What amp do you run your pedals though?

Fender Vibro Champ for recording


Used to use a Twin for gigs.

I'm novice player (and slightly embarrassed by the amps I've gone through in pursuit of the tone in my head), but here's what I'm running (all "low" wattage, so I can play them at home, mic'ed when I play with friends.):

- '65 Princeton Reverb Reissue with Billm Audio TO20 output transformer: beautiful cleans and edge of breakup pedal platform.
- Vintage47 replica National Supreme: little darker, awesome "blues" tone; really takes pedals well; very nice breakup with a clean boost (see http://youtu.be/HBZUKwF5zKE).
- Weber "Maggie" kit built to Dave Hunter 2 stroke spec's (a tube-swapping 5F2A Princeton): my favorite, super versatile, great with pedals (see http://youtu.be/71tefFV5b-0).

My Tweed Twin works well with pedals. My JCM800 not so good.

Fender Vibro Champ for recording

I have one of those as well, though I haven't used it for recording lately.

fwiw, i am on my way to buy a new amp too. As i have checked out the market (tried some, checked zillions of demo videos) i have pretty much decided to buy a Suhr Badger 35 head and 2*12" cab (as i type, i wait for the quotation). I found it just being the perfect amp for my taste, my fingers and my ears. It is, however, one of the expensive bastards.

Might be worth checkin out for your as well.

I recently bought a vintage Garnet deputy and it s amazing with dirt pedals .

I also own a Traynor ycs100 that one just dont need any pedals at all , maybe just a delay .

I also play with a blues junior , i like the sound I can het with a tubescreamer and with fuzz pedal .

- 5E3 tweed deluxe scratch built as a head
- "Baby Will" 18w built from a Valve Jr donor head
- Fender Pro Junior
- modified Ruby circuit x2 for stereo or mono built into a Hammond 1590D

I run the heads through an Egnater Tourmaster 2x12 currently loaded with 25w greenbacks.


EDIT:  I forgot I also have Blackheart 5w half stack that I really don't play anymore and plan to sell. It does fine with pedals though.

[LaceSensor]

Blackstar artisan 15 set to 5w mode normally.
It's just a lovely sounding affordable handwired amp (albeit overseas)

I really dig my highly modded Epi VJr head, with a 12AT7 for the Pre it gets lots more clean headroom and takes the pedal very well, from smooth OD to razor grinding fuzz.

The Tweaker seems to be among the favorites, i should look around for one of those aswell.

One thing, stay away from the JetCity PicoValve, I bought one because i had a great deal on it, modded the hell out of it trying to get it less sterile/more responsive.... nada... that thing does nada.... based on my personal experience of course, some might dig it but i have'nt been able to bound with it.

Pair of 5w MJW 6V6 Goldstars (Stereo set up with 1x10 combo and slave 1x10 power amp combo).
MJW Twang King (BIIIG BF Princeton clone, as of yesterday, with 2x10 cab).

Though most pedals we build are tested at Cleggy's mainly on a Martamp (MJW) 10W EL34 Goldstar (with 1x12). Sometimes on a Laney L20H Lionheart (2x12).

Ha, indeed, have a picture:



...and my tiny Goldstars:

I run through two of the least intrusive amps out there.

Guitars: Quilter Aviator
Bass: Markbass Little Mark II

mmmm.. I really want to try one of those Aviators. My Mesa Boogie is quite heavy and those sound really good in the demos.

Modded Peavey Classic 30 with a Weber speaker
Blackheart Little Giant
Modded Framus Ruby Riot

Small, house friendly (~3w) homebrew based on David Jones' Octal One which in turn was based on, i believe, the Fender 5C1 Champ. Mine's a 6sj7 (pentode) with selectable coupling caps, into a 6aq5.

Wow, that is nice!  I can't believe no one has commented on this!

My main testing amp is Koch studiotone witch v30's, it's the best friendly-pedal tube amp.
I recently buy the marshall sl-5 for bedroom practise which also take pedals very well.
