Let's waste time: let's make lists. Here are my current "Favorite Ten".
"Clean"
"Clean"
- Vibroverb (Brownface)
Why: more character than Mesa clean or Shiva clean, more body than Twin or Deluxe.
Which cab: EVM, Showman, Thunderbolt, 1x10 Gold. - Vox AC30TB (Class-A 30W TB)
Why: because it's a Vox. It improves with every firmware upgrade (just wait till you hear 5.0). Instead of using traditional Alnico speaker cabs, try it with greenbacks.
Which cab (Vox-type): 1x12 Blue, 2x12 Brit, 2x12 TopBoost Blue or Silver, 4x12 Blue.
Which cab (Greenback-type): G12M, M75, G12M25.
- Budda (Buttery)
Why: keep it low gain and you'll hear why.
Which cab: G12M, G12M25, M75.
- Bogner Ecstasy Blue (Euro Blue)
Why: just listen to a couple of recent recordings with this amp type. Beats Friedman BE by a little.
Which cab: V30 (Bogner or Marshall) or try a greenback.
- Cameron (Cameron ch 2)
Why: a fast grower in popularity and a favorite among the beta testers. Try adding some Depth and disabling Bright.
Which cab: G12H30 or H75 - Bogner Ecstasy Red (Euro Red)
Why: woody, thick and body. It's Blue multiplied by 5.
Which cab: V30 (Bogner or Marshall) or Uber T75V30 or H75. Or try a greenback.
- Bogner Uberschall (Euro Uber)
Why: bridges the gap between rock and high-gain tones. Improved a lot.
Which cab: Uber T75V30 or H75. - Mesa Rectifier Orange Modern
Why: crushing impact, delivers most bass below the belt.
Which cab: Recto V30.
- Mesa Mark IIC+
Why: defines "liquid" recognizable lead tone. Experiment with adding boost / input trim.
Which cab: EVM or Recto V30 or Cali.
