I love mine (not the + version)

Chimay ? Could you invite me to another showoff with a dead battery ?

+1 with Steve and CMathes. I have a 84 Boogie Studio 22 in wooden cab. Not only does it have the high gain Boogie sound, but also a fantastic clean channel. One of the best jazzers in the world, Wolfgang Muthspiel, obviously was of the same opinion. After he played my Boogie at a gig he wanted to buy it, but: this amp will always stay with me.

With a little time lag to this thread. Despite my love for Hamers my 95 LP Premium Plus is still my number 1.

Some of my favourite lyrics: Scuze me ... while I kiss the sky ... Jimi Hendrix Watch out where the Huskys go Don´t you eat that yellow snow Frank Zappa I boogied in the kitchen I boogied in the hall I got some on my finger So I wiped it on the wall! Chuck Berry

For me: Golden Earring and The Who 1970, Vienna, Austria

Definitely + 1 for Who Live at Leeds (saw them 1970 and was deaf for 3 days) + 1 for Humble Pie Live at Fillmore (Stone Cold Fever and I Don´t Need No Doctor are great while their studio records are pretty lame) and Wishbone Ash (while their studio records weren´t bad, their live record was sensational)

Amen Bro ! I am nearly 50 and still play "My Generation"

They change the rules very soon again: in the future you have to queue stark naked with your boarding pass between your teeth

Love the community here, but am very egoistic No guitar I am bonding leaves my hands until the grave - or my wifey orders

I recommend the MI Audio Tube Zone or the very reasonably priced Blues Pro (http://www.miaudio.com) made by Michael Ibrahim in Sydney, but aslo available in the US (e.g. http://www.Musictoyz.com). Also very satisfying are the Tech 21 Sansamp GT-2 or original Ibanez Tubescreamer or Ibanez OD-855.

I love my MI Audio Tube Zone and Blues Pro as well as my Tech 21 Sans Amp GT-2 and my 70ies Ibanez OD-855 Overdrive (the daddy of the Tubescreamer)

+1 for Ceriatone. Nik Aziz is a great guy to deal with.

I had the best experiences with Virtuoso Polish and Cleaner.

I faced a very similar problem. I play a Mesa Boogie Studio 22 with its typical sound. But for a different sound from time to time I use my Tech 21 Sans Amp GT-2 as a stomp box. You can get a very nice Fender and even a quite accurate Marshall sound out of your Boogie. To me the Sans Amp GT-2 is like an amp modeller with a beautiful vintage sound and a very good overdrive/distortion pedal at the same time. Check the sound samples at http://www.tech21nyc.com.

Mine and unfortunately up to now the only one (besides some Paulas and other brands) is a Hamer Chapparal Bolt On with Original FR, SD pickups and an untreated maple neck bought at Sam Ash in 1988. It´s a pointy one but the best Superstrat I´ve ever played.
