Guitar Amps

Can't remember the name of my 1st amp but its the one that came with the Squire Strat Pak, it sounded just like any low-budget beginner amplifier...bloody awful..


My 2nd amp which i still own today is the Tech21 Trademark10, solid little amplifier....great versatile tones..good for late night practise..




i got my 3rd, a Marshall MS-4 mini-stack on a wimp, what can i say it looked cute :P





4th is Ibanez's budget tubeamp, The Valbee...the cleans of the Valbee are pretty decent, but i couldn't stand the sterile distorted sounds...

insides of the Valbee..


5th is a Vox AD30VT modelling amp, comes with several presets...some are ok.. others plain suck, again the cleans are decent but distorted sounds really "digital"....if you get what i mean...



My 6th is a Reverend HellHound 40/60 combo which has been discontinued, as Reverend boss, Joe Naylor decided not to make any more amps & also outsourced he's lower range guitar-line to Korea..


Only 1000 of these amps were produced...but i doubt these will become collectors' items...as they're are not that "famous"..

Electro-Harmonix tubes are used throughout:

-two 12AX7's in the pre-amp

-12AX7 reverb driver

-12AX7 phase inverter

-two 6L6 power tubes


There's also the Wattage switch that goes from 40 to 60 watts for extra headroom..

SHIZO switch, i mainly use the "US" (fender) setting..

Cowboy-cool, tooled-vinyl covering....very nice..

Joe Naylor designed 12" Reverend All-Tone 1250 speaker

Since its called the HellHound, i decided to make it look a bit more menacing! ;D
