Beautiful amp heads?

[viifox]

you joke, but it didn't take much work to make mine look substantially better

Those mudflap girls are suddenly much hotter!

 

[DrakkarTyrannis]

Everyone's favorite!

This reminds me of the ol "DTX"

Granted it looked better in person. I suppose if I had to do it all over again I'd drop the plexiglass, do a better logo maybe change th......ya know what fuck it. I WOULDN'T do it over again.

I dig the traditional black/white Matamp heads the most, but the GT1 is on a whole different level compared to the 1224 or the Green, etc...

I super dig the old school 70's PA look. I'm glad Hermansson is bringing it back

Have you seen anything from Hillbish Designs? Theses one's look like they'd fit right in on a NASA console

Imagine like a Matamp but it's got a Space Echo on top of it AND some sort of huge external spring reverb. I bet nobody could be peer pressured into showing us what that would look like.

I like a lot of custom Mesas aesthetically. Basically everything with non-black tolex looks good.

Benson amps also has a really cool old school aesthetic:

When I build a headshell for my Bogner, I based it on a green tolex Marshall I saw online and I think it fits the gold front panel and black knobs great. Far from perfect because this was my first headshell but I think it is visually nice.

This is cool.
Somewhere there was a PA amp company that made 50's era layman style PA amps that had the these needle gauges. Always wanted to snag one for a conversion but the brand escapes me. I think it was too generic to remember.

I owned this one for about a minute... always thought it was a gorgeous head.

I'm also a wicker grill fan. Partly because it just looks cool, but also because when I was like 19 or 20 I was in a music store, and there was this Mark IV combo with the wood and basket weave. A guy there plugged into it, and I couldn't believe how cool it sounded. Right there I knew that was the sound I was after. (And here we are, with me never having owned a Mark IV ). But before I die I will own a head or combo in that look. (Preferably a Mark IV or V.)

That's awesome, interesting that it was done for an MG, though. Was that custom, or did they have a version of the MG that came like that?? Always wanted a Mesa with a wood headshell like that, but the cost premium has never been worth it, cause I'll likely keep the amp a few months and sell it

 

[DeathByButterslax]

Objectively the worst JMP or mainline Marshall design. It's got the weird proportioned headshell, gaudy bold piping, giant logo sitting in an awkward place, and awkwardly rounded front panel. The only thing it has going for it is that it isn't missing teeth like a JCM800, but still looks like a robot with an overbite.

Plexi or multichannel Marshalls only.

Lmao, 100% wrong
