matthew bryan Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 Hello all, I know Carvin and Mesa makes a few versions of an all tube rack mount power amps for guitar but I have not seen any others that do. Do you know of any other companies that make them? Thanks Matthew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToddW Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 London Power if you're looking for a super versatile studio amp! But Kevin's stuff is in a different league than those others, and cost . . . well: http://www.londonpower.com/products/studio.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapbarstrat Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 Built like a tank : one of those 9005 Marshall ones made in the 90's. I used one when I was in a band. Heavy as hell, esecially after you have it in a rack cab, but I assume you can get a great deal on one these days, since the outside looks "out of style", for today, but the guts inside give you a true Marshall power amp section, especially when cranked up. Just don't flip the pentode/triode switch while it's on. Mine blew a fuse when I did that. I bought a used *mint* one in the mid 90's for $350.00. (thought it was too good to be true when I saw the ad in the trader paper, and hauled ass to go get it. Reading a road map while driving , LOL ) Sold it a few years later for $400.00 Main reason I sold it was because it was too heavy to haul around. It was cool of Marshall to send me a photo copy of the manual when I asked them how I could get one. I don't think they charged me anything for it. Doesn't sound like much, but I would certainly want to avoid products from another company that wouldn't be as nice about something like that.
