Large stacks or small combos?It almost goes without saying. But trends tend to get their rennaissance and once again, guitarists demands the timeless sound of the tube amp. The whole thing escalated in the 80s with the ridiculous, although cool looking, walls of Marshalls.By the early 90s, the low wattage tube amps were almost forgotten in favour for the transistor. Prior to this, a small combo would do the job nicely. In this feature weГўв‚¬в„ўll look at a handful of models with David GilmourГўв‚¬в„ўs tones in mind.The large tube stack phenomenon started in the late 60s, when bands moved to bigger stages and needed more volume and wattage. During the last decade, the market has been flooded by affordable tube amps in all price ranges and while most of them will cover your basic needs, there are some distinct differences that will have an impact on your tone.

It is designed for arenas and loud volume so you canвЂ™t really translate that to a small bedroom or 300 seats club.A power attenuator will allow you to scale down the wattage and utilize the ampвЂ™s gain stage for your overdrive and distortion sounds. At low volume the amp will sound dull and flat. To be able to drive a 100w tube amp you need to play loud. You donвЂ™t want to blow the windows or your audienceвЂ™s ears but the main issue is really tone. In most cases youвЂ™re better off with a lower wattage amp.Obviously, volume is an issue.

Tubes or transistor?There was a time when tube amps was incredibly expensive and you really couldnвЂ™t find any in the lower wattage range. In most cases a 5w or 10w is more than enough for a bedroom and even a studio. You need one that fits your environment. You canвЂ™t do that will an amp thatвЂ™s too loud. You donвЂ™t want to hear the crackle but rather feel that itвЂ™s there.

TheyвЂ™re often better platforms for pedals and, in my opinion at least, they sound more organic and dynamic. I do recommend tube amps though. Both tube amps and transistors has come a long way in providing great relieable tones. One isnвЂ™t better than the other. I canвЂ™t remember last time I stepped into a guitar store and found a wall of transistor amps.ItвЂ™s a matter of taste. In fact, now itвЂ™s almost the other way around.

What happened? Well, not all overdrive, distortion and fuzz pedals are designed for all amps.Depending on the model, Fender amps typically has less mid range and compression. YouвЂ™ve either bought a new amp or overdrive pedal and when you hook them up it sounds like shit. Amps and pedalsWeвЂ™ve all been there.

IГўв‚¬в„ўve concentrated on replicating DavidГўв‚¬в„ўs tones but the amp should be versatile enough for all genres.Гўв‚¬ВЁвЂ“ The ampГўв‚¬в„ўs ability to maintain its character at even the lowest volume levels.Гўв‚¬ВЁвЂ“ The amp must be able to handle most of the typical Gilmour related pedals.Г‚в‚¬ВЁ- Features, вЂ“ EQ, channels, effect loop etc.The Boss Katana amps are incredibly impressive, with a typical Boss quality and attention to detail. More on choosing the right pedals for your amp here.All amps are tested with the following in mind: Гўв‚¬ВЁвЂ“ Overall sound. So, a pedal like the Big Muff, which has less mid range and compression will often sound bright and thin on Fender amps but paired with Marshall or Hiwatt, which will compensate for the lack of mids and compression, will make the pedal sound smoother and fatter.I would say that choosing the right is the most important thing and buy pedals based on that but if you already have a large collection of pedals, then you might want to do some research on how they will work with your new amp or the amp youвЂ™re about to buy.

The stock speakers can sound a tad too bright, so consider replacing these with some darker ones, like the Eminence Cannabis Rex.Г‚в‚¬ВЁTubes: 3x 12ax7 pre-amp and 2x EL84 outputГ‚в‚¬ВЁSpeaker: 1x 12Гўв‚¬Ві 50w Fender Lightning Bolt by EminenceГ‚в‚¬ВЁControls: volume/gain, master, 3-band EQ, reverb, fat switchFenderГўв‚¬в„ўs new Bassbreaker series is basically a rewamped Bassman, with hints towards the Blues Jr. This makes it ideal for bedrooms and even smaller clubs and it can handle most pedals, including the more demanding Big Muffs and fuzz pedals. ItвЂ™s got the classic Fender tone, with a nice chime and plenty of headroom but with considerably more mid range and compression than a Twin and similar amps.

A good tip is to use the drive channel for pedals, as it has more mids and compression. The drive channel ranges from clean to near metall. The clean channel is super pristine, with tons of headroom. Still, this amp is extremely well built, itвЂ™s packed with all kinds of features, like power scaling and direct recording and, it can handle pretty much any pedal you throw at it.
