OK, but this is getting a little out of hand, esp. for a guy who just plays for his own amusement in his "man cave":
Fender Blues Junior, modified out the ying-yang:
My original amp mod project, a used v.1 Epiphone Valve Jr. combo that I bought for $90 and have spent about $250 on doing various upgrades. Don't look for sense/reason in this exercise--it was a "learning experience." At least, that's what I keep telling myself:
The only amp I've ever built from the ground up--a little 1.5W "Firefly" DIY project amp head. It's got about as much headroom as an old VW bug, but it's fun to do a 1.5W impression of a Marshall stack with it:
An Egnater Rebel 20W head I bought used from a guy on TGP. The EL84/6V6 output tube "blend" function on this is just too cool:
The tiny-yet-amazing Mesa Boogie Transatlantic TA-15 head. The tonal flexibility of this little gem is just astonishing:
My most recent acquisition, a modified clone of the Trainwreck Rocket amp head built by musician/electronics maven Jeff Rubin. Best clean tone of any amp I have ever played through:
The infamous "he-bought-it-now-will-he-ever-build-it??" Trinity 18W TMB Marshall clone kit. Here's the cabinet....pretty!
OK, with 4 amp heads and a 5th that honest to God I'm going to build sometime soon, I need a couple of speaker cabs to play through. So....
Here's a 1x12 cabinet I bought built to order from a guy on the web who obviously used to work for Lopoline. Currently has a nice Weber VST P12Q alnico speaker in it that I got used on Craigslist:
Here's a 2x12 Drive ported cabinet that got from Music123.com when they were blowing them out for $80 & free shipping!! Unbelievable value on a very solidly made cabinet in an unfortunate (for me) color, since none of my other gear is red. I removed the two rather cheap Eminence speakers and now have it loaded with a WGS Green Beret and an Eminence Wizard. Sounds wonderful:

Thanks guys. Jimi, I always love those vids. That strat into marshall vid is one of my favorite sounds.
Now I am just waiting for Spudman to lay all of his out on the lawn and take a pic from the roof. We need a pic like that.

I just played with a guy on Wednesday who had one of those. It seemed really nice, even if it was an extreme departure from what I usually go for in tones.
