I went Kemper a while back and haven't looked back. If love a 3rd Power British Dream, though.

I don't mind the Kemper etc for recording. I use the old Vox Tonelab which i like for some stuff. After you dial your recorded tone in its close BUT I cant play one live, its totally wrong.

I got a question, what is the best diy kit for a JTM 45 head, i'm sure it'll have the sozo caps, otherwise it would be pure garbage  |

Kemper? I see guys using those live a bunch. Are they great for tracking?
Also, what about 2x12 cabs? I'm looking for a good cab to add to the studio. Most all my amps are combo amps with open backs.

I have dealt with Avatar Speakers a few times. They offer a wide variety of cabinet styles and will load them with pretty much anything you specify. |

I got a question, what is the best diy kit for a JTM 45 head, i'm sure it'll have the sozo caps, otherwise it would be pure garbage There are a few you can get! the CeriaTone or the MojoTone are probably the closest, Weber has one too... "I" would say my vintage caps are way better then any cap available for a vintage amp. They are not the best for a high gain amp, and this is a bold statement, but I'm up for the Pepsi challenge anytime anywhere... I do not believe you can't get an amp to truly sound or feel vintage without my caps. The guitar amp is a circuit where your signal runs through about 5 or so capacitors in series between gain stages and eq etc... In a guitar amp caps are like transformers in a mic preamp, a Jensen in a MA5 sounds very different then a Sowter in a GR sounds different then a Carnhill in a BAE or EZ1073 or Vintec etc... |

It's too bad George isn't doing the Metro kits anymore. He did a great job. I can testify to the quality of your caps John. I've used 'em. Still do. I did a blind listening test comparing them to nos Mullards several years back on the Metro forum. |

I second the vote for Avatar. I recently got a 2x12 from them, quality and price are exceptional. Kemper? I see guys using those live a bunch. Are they great for tracking? Also, what about 2x12 cabs?

I had an Avatar 2x12" for a while and it was ok. It couldn't touch my buddies oversized Mesa 2x12 though. That thing smoked. Best cab I've heard. |

It might depend on which Avatar you get. The Avatar Signature is also oversized, incredibly solid, and a bit more expensive. But it sounds better and is less expensive than the Mesa, Orange, Marshall, or Engl cabs I tried it against. Kemper? I see guys using those live a bunch. Are they great for tracking?

Love my Kemper for tracking @johnkenn NO JCM900?!?! I already have a bunch of 45s, 50s, 800s, 2000s all with the different cabinets. Here's hoping someone does a 900 or I get a client with one so I can profile it. |

Which class of amplifier is thee best? And what do you feel will be around the longest? Oh, and which one is the least problematic?
