Carlsbro Rebel ManualMy first amp was bought in 1977, a Marshal 30W 2x12” Master Lead Combo – All solid state, no reverb. It sounded pretty good for a solid-state amp at the time. Played one again briefly back in the early 2000s and it sounded pretty bad. This did me through university, and then traded it in for a new…
ManualFender 30, 30W 2x10” all-valve combo – lovely but it quickly started making strange noises and at the time I didn’t know about failing valves and replacing them, so took it back (wish I’d kept it) and swapped it for a used…
Mid ‘70s Peavey Artist 240 – a 120W 1x12” beast of a combo with solid state preamp and valve power amp and a Peavey Black Widow Speaker. Had to use pedals in front for any decent distortion but sounded good clean. But it certainly weighed a ton. Had it for a maybe a year. Then I heard another chap’s amp which sounded so much better, so ended up trading it in for a new…
Award-Session Sessionette:75. Light, loud enough, with reverb and a decent distortion sound (especially compared to the Peavey). This kept me going for a few years and I bought a straight Marshall 4x10” cab as an extension speaker for it for gigs.
At some point in time I then bought a Fender Champ 12, which never really lived up to it’s promise and could have done with a replacement speaker as like the original Blues Jr, the speaker was really boxy sounding. It hung around in the background for many years as it was small and compact but it eventually got given away to a mate.
Unfortunately, in 1987, along with my Yamaha SG3000S and a REX50 multi-FX unit, the Sessionette got stolen from my car (I’d used them the night before but it was pouring with rain when I got home so left them in the boot). Went out the next day for work, picked up an obsolete NEC APC from one site (8” floppy driven and not even PC compatible) and then went to a call-out at another site leaving the old PC in the back of the car – which was tempting fate - as that caught the thieves attention and they took that (worth nothing) plus all my kit (worth a lot!). So I needed a new amp and as I still had the Marshall 4x10”, I then bought a new…

Marshall Jubilee 50W Mini Head and an angled Marshall 4x10” cab, to make up a more transportable stack than two 4x12”s. I bought it from Andertons as they confirmed that they could get Marshall to do the amp in black tolex, instead of silver, so I had a relatively unique amp. I never really got to turn it up enough though to make good use of it, and the 4x10”s weren’t the best cabs. I leant one cab out to someone who then moved and I never got it back, but it didn’t matter as when ordering a custom guitar from Chandler’s in Kew to replace the stolen Yamaha SG, I got absorbed by the rack kit and ended up with an…
ADA MP-1 pre-amp, matching MIDI footboard, Alesis Quadraverb and Marshall 8008 power amp, along with two 1x12” Marshall cabs. It rawked in stereo! This became my main rig for many years.

Somewhere along the way I also bought a small Ross Fame 10, 10W solid state practice amp, 8” speaker. Rory Gallagher had one. No reverb but surprisingly good clean and very distorted sounds, though less good at lightly driven sounds. After a time, too much volume took its toll on the speaker and it started sounded a bit farty. Eventually got traded along with a Yamaha MSG Standard for a Yamaha acoustic and some cash which I desperately needed at the time.

Eventually the rack kit was going out of fashion and I was now in a big soul/classic R’n’B band and it wasn’t great at clean sounds (at least at a good volume). So I stupidly (because I didn’t need to as I had the money to buy it outright) PX’d the Marshall Jubilee head plus the 4x10” cab for a…
Fender Roc Pro 1000 1x12” 100W combo. One valve in the pre-amp, otherwise all solid state. It was OK and did a nice clean sound, a decent driven sound and was nice and portable, but otherwise was rather dull. It eventually got side-lined and given away.
