New Amp Day!

[Brad737]

Hello all,
I've been downsizing my guitar collection a bit. I've simply run out of storage space. Likewise, I've also been streamlining my amp collection. One thing I did manage to snag was a Bruno Underground 30 with matching 212 cab. I've only been able to spend a few hours with it, but Lordy what an amp! My previous favorite clean amp is my Dr. Z Stingray combo. I still love the Stingray, but the UG30 just takes it to a completely different level. I'd classify the UG30 as a Vox tone like the Stingray, but to my ears, it's smoother and warmer, with phenomenal note separation. I've never used reverb a lot in the past, but I can't seems turn it completely off on this amp. It's the best reverb I've ever heard, and I just have to have a little taste.

Anyway, without further ado, here she is.

Keep an eye out on VR and TGP. There's going to be a FS ad for a Dr. Z soon.

Fancy.

Cool amp. I quoted the wrong post earlier. Do you still have and use the 5150 I keep seeing in your posts?

That is a truly great amp. One of the best ever.

Very nice, have not seen that brand before.
'Tis the season for new amps, I recently within the last month picked up a new tube amp and dual cabs for it.

Yeah, I still play it from time to time. For what the 5150 was designed for (basically, a roadworthy, CHEAP Soldano SLO clone), it's super cool. But I don't play metal very often. I use it for Ozzy, Dio, Bush, Disturbed, etc. I MUCH prefer the 5150 III. (I have the 50w with 212.). The 5153 has a useable clean channel, decent "brown sound" channel, and the melt-your-face rage channel. Lots of versatility. For vintage VH, I have a Plexi with the VH mods. Best gain tone I've heard in my life.

I've always heard Brunos were great amps, but I've never tried one myself. Congrats!

It's very limited production, but the Bruno Underground 30 is truly one of the best single channel amps ever made, a true benchmark.

Sweet! I've heard good things about Bruno.

Very, very nice. Never had the pleasure of playing through one but they are known to be awesome.

Same. Eddie's has these regularly.
