Desert Island Amp

If you were deserted on a desert island and could only bring one AMP, what would you bring? (Yes, I realize that there's probably no electricity, it's just a figure of speech)

If I could only have ONE amp, I would bring my Boogie DC-3 combo. I can get clean, bluesy overdrive, and all out ripping distortion from this baby.

My Valvetech, and I assume I can have a cabinet, which would be my Bogner 2x12. Those two together ... perfection.

Ducking before I get hit...

My Roland Microcube. The MVP of my stash of gear.

What a time to be pragmatic.

I'd probably take my

Professor's Kid Coconut 2x10

-bamboo cabinet, palm leaf grill..

-creamy as cream pie overdrive, cleans like an island lagoon..

I'd take my Budda Verbmaster, mainly because I love it, but also because it's my only guitar amp

As long as there was a good amp tech on the desert island, I'd take my '69 SF Deluxe Reverb...(never know when that cap job will have to happen)

Nothing like it for the surfy stuff you'd be playing there, plus you could crank it to get the great natural OD whenever you wanted cuz the neighbors wouldn't care... :rolleyes:

No amp tech? Then it'd be my Kingsley Deluxe 30 with Burt Antique Pine 2x12, Celestion Blue + G12H30...sounds real, real, real nice. :D

+1.

I have its modern brother though (the F30), I like the distorsion channel better, but the wonderful clean channel is the same as in yours.

Hmmm??? well...I don't have any combo's so....one of my Egg's and at least a 1x12 cab??

Prob'ly the Dr Z Maz Sr 38 1 x 12 combo. Hands down best / versatile amp I've played through. I love blond tolex but I might have to go fire-engine red so I can find it in the sand.

Marshall Bluesbreaker.

I'd be for pragmatism as well in such an egregious scenario. Y'all are gonna laugh, but I'd go with a Peavey Bandit that has TranTube technology, simply on accounta it'd hold up. Those sound better, even if not producing the so-called ultimate tone, than some people are willing to acknowledge. And where's the nearest tube store in Micronesia? I'm writing this realizing I should be prepared to dodge a buncha worn out 6L6 tubes and other items heaved in my direction, so flame away.
