My latest add-on... Thanks to a dear friend of mine, I was able to expand my Set-up with this beautiful LESLIE Model 16... 

Ich use it as an additional cabinet with my Marrshall Bluesbreaker Combo... ...and the footswitch made its way onto my pedalboard...

Sounds simply breathtaking stereoscopic.

I also do have a Rotosphere on my board and these two get along excellent with each other when in use at the same time...

Eric Clapton once in his CREAM-days played the song BADGE with such a Leslie 16.

LESLIE Model 16
estimated early 70s
SN: 38562

For the time being my main amplifier for the living-room...  this beautiful cream-coloured MARSHALL 1962 "Bluesbreaker" Combo.
Sounds brilliant, but unfortunately is very heavy, has got only one handle and the creme-colored design is prone to dirt... That's why it remains, apart from a few exceptions, in the living-room.

My current effectboard is connected to it...

HI WATT Top 2000 series
model S50L
plus 2 x 12 'Celestion Vintage 30' cabinet
SN: 1105020

A top amplifier is this HI WATT top. But it's got nothing to do anymore with an original 
HI WATT, since it has been rebuilt by Michael Tauber
(European service guy for DUMBLE Amplifiers) to a quasi-Dumble.

I run it with the pictured speaker-cabinet. This has got the dimensions and construction of a VOX AC30. Equipped it is with 2 x 12" Celestion Vintage 30 Speakern.

I use it for larger or outdoor-gigs, if it's allowed to have a fatter sound ;-o)

It also serves as the back-up amplifier, because it also can be operated with the speaker of the CRATE, in case the amp-section of it blows up during a gig. 

...simply great!

 

This great Amplifier is a present from my friends to me on my 40th birthday. It has been presented to me by these lovely crazy people during the jam-session in the Schlosskeller on the 3rd-4th of April 2002. Has been an unbelievable action...

It's a two-channel all-tube-amplifier with 60 W power and it sounds marvellous...

CRATE VC-6112W Vintage 60
2001
SN: ARAWK 70026

It also is useable with the above mentioned 2 x 12 speaker-cabinet as a so-to-say three-quarter half-stack...

FENDER Vibrolux Reverb
1969/1970
SN: A 26033

My allround amplifier... for rehearsals, gigs, sessions and in the living-room he was doing great. 
A while ago it has got a master-volume... so he gets distorted slightly on his own already...

In August 2008 I have sold it to a very good new home...

VOX AC 30 Top Boost
ca. 1978/79
SN: none

For quite a while I owned this fine VOX AC30 Combo, loaded with two 12" Celestion "Greenbacks".

Re-worked and a little modified with a Master-Volume by Tom Rahn.

Now it is sold...

KITTY HAWK The Kid

This has been my very first guitar-amplifier - all tube... nice little guy, but I sold it to a friend of mine a while ago. But at the end of the day it was not my type of thing.

HUGHES & KETTNER ATS 100 series

It was a first generation of these hybrid amplifiers. The overdrive channel of the pre-amp section had been tube-driven while the clean-channel and power-amp section based on a solid-state circuit.

Also this amplifier I gave away for the favour of something else... if I recollect it correctly it's been the VOX AC30.

It's been not really my amp... The clean-sound and reverb was fine but the overdrive sound not for me.
