    Favorite Small Amp head & replacement speakers (under $100-ish)

    Wow, almost doubled in price. At $350, that's definitely easier to justify. I bought the Hughes & Kettner Spirit of Vintage. I've had this one in my Reverb list for weeks. Used, mint, $70 under new list price. Every video I watched of people playing this particular amp, they were enjoying...

    I like my Orange, haven't had a good quality cab to put it through yet. I like the Friedman for sure. I feel like the Bogner may be a little too crunchy and the Diezel is definitely too crunchy for my tastes. I dig the Tweaker, probably a bit more than I'll spend . . .for now. I'm leaning...

    No worries. I'm putting together a 1x12 cabinet. So I'm looking to find a small amp Head to pair with it. I have a couple already, just looking for something else.

    I probably should Not have listed the Friedman. The Hotone Freeze B is a copy. I very much like the sound. Maybe I'll upgrade to the Friedman and sell the Freeze B, I've always wanted a Pignose since seeing Crossroads 35 years ago. I often feel like they're a little overpriced? But I...

    The Bugera, from what I've read online, is NO LONGER a choice. Seems mediocre at best. I, honestly, probably wouldn't notice what an actual guitarist would notice. But I've got a good ear. Anyway. . ..

    I'm interested in learning what "lunch box" size amp heads you all use and like. I play for fun at home. I don't need a Huge amount of volume. I would like it if the amp got along well with others--meaning pedals and effects. I own a Hotone Freeze B--small, ok, fun. And I have an Orange...

    Row 13 Middle Section!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    How Awesome!! I saw Carlos in 1997 with "the one that got away". That's a whole book in and of itself. However, we were center stage, 40 rows back or so at Deer Creek in Noblesville, IN. It's on my top5 list for best concerts I have been to. Rusted Root opened! Also Awesome! ENJOY

    Upgrades for my SE

    I actually found Gun Street through ebay. Looking at wiring harnesses. I messaged him about a custom harness I had in mind for a different guitar. I ended up at his website and he basically said, we will do just about ANYTHING custom to order. And that's how I ended up buying for the PRS as...

    Upgrades for my SE

    Yes, as soon as I bought this SE, I started looking at many, MANY others. :confused: I decided to try a Wilkinson bridge on the cheap. If it doesn't tune properly, or it moves on me, etc., I'll just go back to the original. I just want some more fresh chrome, on the cheap. My wiring...

    Upgrades for my SE

    I purposely bought a lower priced SE, so I could work on it--adding upgrades. I like to tinker. For the last couple years I have been building a few drums here and there, and also refurbishing. I'll try and post pics, but it didn't work the last time for me. As far as the guitar, I...

    Introduce yourself!

    Thanks Moondog. I hope I actually get good enough to post a soundbite or video. I've tried guitar multiple times since about 1985? I'll get there. Hopefully.

    Porter Gatekeeper Pickups.

    Awesome. I like their price range (for their lower tier offerings). From the videos I've seen, they sound great--that includes the $100 set as well.

    Porter Gatekeeper Pickups.

    So I'm considering a set of these for a used SE I just purchased. After having these for a while now, what do you think? Are they still in the guitar? Still enjoying them? Thanks
