Isn't this pretty? Custom built amp by Ukraine's Crab Guitar Effects. Based on a Soldano SLO, but with some features not found on those amps, including spring reverb. A few minor tweaks, and I think it'll be pretty close to my dream amp. Surprisingly cheap too!

A room with an elaborate sound system installed, including two turntables, tube style amps, and several large speakers.
Room filled with people listening to high end audio equipment.
“HiFi Pursuit Listening Room Dream No. 3”, installation of a handmade audio system by Devon Turnbull. At the Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum, New York. Audiophiles are coming in droves, and for good reason.

If the tubes were good enough for Colossus (worlds first computer, which was a code breaking machine used by the Allies against the Nazis in WW2) then they are good enough to report for driver duty in my Ultimate. 🫡

Epiphone 5-watt Valve Junior tube head. Circa 2005.
Even though it's only a 5-watt, this Epiphone Valve Jr. amp is worth its weight in gold. Deep dark sound, breaks nicely at about the 11 o-clock/noon position. Don't let the 5-watt rating fool you, this is a chonk! Oh, and very modifiable. #GuitarAmps #TubeAmps #Epiphone #ValveJunior #GarageBand

Just bought this General Electric NOS ECC82 (12AU7A) Tube for my Vincent hybrid Pre-Amp. Lets see if it changes the sound somehow. The TAD 12AU7A i am using now is doing a great job though.

Flashback to when I was making fronts for Verellen Amplifiers. #music #tubeamps #metal #heavy #loud #verellen
Is it silly to lug around a 75lb amp for 3-4 songs per night as a solo act?
Yes.
Has anything ever come close to sounding 'right' since I got it some 7 years ago?
Hell No.
Don't fix what ain't broke.

We had a tube amp show and tell this morning. The middle box is also an amp. My husband built these from scratch. #tubeamps
Instead of doom scrolling, I decided to spend the evening with my vintage #Gibson s: a 1967 ES 330, my 1959 Melody Maker ("Stevie"), played through a 1959 Skylark. That melody maker teaches you to use your pots and sounds amazing. #guitar #vintageguitar #tubeamps #musiciansky #classicrock
There is just something about a vintage Deluxe Reverb (this one is a 65). I rarely use overdrive pedals anymore. The natural breakup of vintage amps is plenty of grit. #musiciansky #amp #tubeamps #livemusic #vintageamps #guitar
Comparison of badges for Vonnegut Hardware Company and Curious Audio amplifier company. On top, a metal badge meant to be placed on large hardware equipment that says in raised letters: "Vonnegut Hardware Co. Machinery and supplies Indianapolis, Ind." On bottom, a computer generated badge to be used on amplifier products that says in black letters on white: "Curious Audio LLC • CuriousAudio.US Audiode overdrive/distortion made in USA"
fun little factoid about our serial number badges is that they are styled after this badge from the hardware store of Clemons Vonnegut (Kurt Vonnegut's great-grandfather), on a piece of woodworking equipment owned by the builder of our amp cabinets

Oddly, most non-high-profile working bass players use solid state amps for the portability.
Russia is not the only manufacturer of vacuum tubes, though.
But electric guitar is the principal contemporary use.

Some inspiration for a cold winter's day:
DO TRY THIS AT HOME, KIDS: Kashmir - a Les Paul Classic, through a 100w 1982 Marshall JCM 800 and 2 x 12 Celestion Gold cab. Making the studio rumble!

In another related demo, I use my 64 Ampeg Reverberocket to brainstorm and intro riff.
Straight up Strat to Ampeg, no pedals.
This amp is amazingly responsive to player’s attack.

Anybody have a preferred 5e3 amp? Other than a fender deluxe. Nothing against it, just looking at other options just to see what’s the landscape is like!
