Amp recommendations please.

Post by Joe A. Camacho »

I'm playing an old Sho Bud Pro through my '68 Twin Reverb and as much as I love Ricky Davis' tone, I can't get mysself to do the 15" speaker swap, I also play Tele through the same amp. I'm looking for an amp with the warmth of tubes, loud and hopefully lighter than a Twin. Sorry if I opened a can of worms....

Twins only feel heavy when you don't have something of equal weight in the other hand.
Just add a 15" extension speaker to your set up.
Keep adding weight to the ext. cab untill the drool runs equally out of both nostrils.

Rinse and repeat!

Nothing sounds like a ShoBud through a Twin, and I know what I´m talking about...
As somebody said (I don´t remember who) "You only have to carry it for a few minutes, but you´ll get to listen to it all night!" Image
