The holy grail of guitar tone. What does it for you?
Curious to see what people have for amplification, speakers and guitars.
Personally the holy grail of good tone to me is classic JTM-45 power tube crunch with Weber loaded cabs played with a Les Paul or SG. |

YARGH! I be a drummer. I would think it would depend on the sound you be after.
For me Alan Holdsworth's sound is amazing, as is Rammsteins. See what I be meanin' two diffrent styles, I am sure they don't use the same stuff

I like all types of tone. I have always been a dual rectifier freak for the longest time but lately I'm into the whole Angus Young and Malcom Young tone. Very clean sound. You'd be surprised as to how clean their gear is but when belting out open chords it just growls like a mofo. it gives me wood just listening to Evil Walks. |

Check out ax84.com's discussion forum, lots of amp builders there, great people. You should hear some of the samples they have of their tone. Amazing to say the least |

dimarzio super distortion humbucker feeding into a peavey sheffeild special 2x12 combo. i'm biding my time until i find a JCM 900 head at the local guitar shop. then i'll put that sucker on top of a 1960a enclosure and replace the speakers with celestion green backs. but until i find the JCM, my peavey will do just fine.

are you handy with a soldering iron? If so, build one. You'll save a fuckload of cash. Find parts from dobermanamps.com or from people at ax84.com. Lots of people there have color coded wiring diagrams that a 5 year old could follow too. https://schematicheavencom.secure.po...vol_preamp.pdf https://schematicheavencom.secure.po...w_poweramp.pdf EDIT: Also, if you would rather wait to buy one, pick up a Peavey rockmaster preamp to push the 2x12 special. They're cheap to buy. You'll thank yourself the second you plug it in and fire it up. |

Believe it or not I like the sound of my Roland AMP
Its kinda older from the 80's but it really carries a great 80's metal tone that is really signature with meh equipment.

There has been great strides by engineers to reproduce tube characteristics in solid state equipment using a DSP chip but it's still not the same. They tend to lack something, personally I find DSP generated tones tend to be chunky. Like part of the signal is missing and clipping unnaturally. Line6 is a really popular line of amps because of their DSP that produces decent tones, but it's nowhere near sounding like an actual all tube rig. People claim it does only because they've been brainwashed by smoke and mirrors. Some popular DSP based amplifiers even incorporate a 12ax7 preamp tube in the signal path so people think it has a tube sound. The truth is, their usually just used to pre-amplify the signal before hitting the DSP and that's about it. No voicing from the tube at all, it all gets eaten up by the A/D converters and DSP processing. Tubes also tend to be much much louder sounding than solid state. I can't explain it but it's a fact. An 18 watt push/pull tube power amp produces roughly the same volume as a 50 watt solid state amplifier. The 30 watt JTM-45 I am ordering is as loud as a 100 watt solid state Peavey combo. Which is fucking loud. If you listen to recording artists who play guitar you will notice that the distortion sounds tend to be really warm and pleasing, not at all harsh. Then go listen to a crap garage band and you'll hear pure harsh noise coming from their speakers. Usually these crap garage bans are running solid state equipment such as Peavey special 2x12's or old Traynor solid state stacks. Do your son a favor and hook him up with an all tube rig. I swear, he'll really appreciate the sound and probably proactive until his fingers fall off. Nothing inspires a soul like having good sounding equipment. Just make sure you get him a Marshall power break if he plans to drive the power amp tubes into saturation or you'll all go completely fucking deaf. If he is serious about music and can wait a little bit of time for the amp you should go to http://dobermanamps.com and order the 18watt Marshall clone or grab a p1-extreme. the 18watt is more like a classic sound, like ac/dc. The p1-extreme is that of a 68-69 Plexi but at reasonable volumes that he can actually jam in a band with if need be and can produce some incredible high gain tones, meaning more overdrive. |

Some how I wound up with my Grandpa's old 1956 Fender Tube Pro-Amp. It's looks like hell, but damn...it sounds fantastic.

My kit is shite in comparison.
Ibanez 470 DX, hooked up to a 505II pedal then into some shitty diamond AX-08 Amp.. I really need a new amp it's killing my sound. My little 10w BC Rich amp produces a better sound than the Diamond does -_-'' |

I put my Jackson to it through peddles and if ya double the amplification with the tube and a Peddle it results in hardcore metal era sound with an infinite sustain. Throw in a little reverb and bang
