GMC Forum _ Absolute Beginners _ Your First Amp?

Posted by: Ivan Milenkovic Aug 31 2011, 09:18 AM

My first amp was Marshall G30RCD or something like that, it was great! I got lucky to get this one when I was starting.

Mine was a crappy little Washburn amp that was included in my guitar starter pack I bought.
My first decent amp was a Line 6 Spider III. Nowadays, I mostly use my Blackstar HT-1. I wish I'd started with that one

I can't remember, but it was probably a refurbished gramophone or some ! Real Amp ? can't remember too

A crappy second hand US made 15W SS crate. It's still somewhere around the house!

Black/orange 15 watt Roland amp. I didn't even know how to turn gain on until my friend told me how to do it.
I still got it somewhere...

A black 15W solid state Fender practice amp
Sounded pretty good on clean, but once you cranked the gain it sounded like a squeeling chicken on steroids!

Wow, that chicken is not hard to imagine after this comparison

It was a Hohner Panther... with, well, a pretty disgusting tone!
I am a bit nostalgic!
