1x Fender Stratocaster(Bridge PU setting) + 1x Double Muff = Yum.

Hello:

I’m half a good example for this post.

I have six guitars, except for a 81’Gibson Sonex 180 Custom, the other five are Fenders: Four Jazzmasters (all modified) and a heavy modified Strat.

Speaking of amps, I’m not a Fender player at all. Instead I’m a loyal Sovtek user because all amps I own are Sovteks, which in fact belong to EH product family, so we may think they “have the same spirit”.

When I think on EH effects, it’s obvious lots of them have a “retro-style” look and sound. Others (the more modern ones) are very “experimental”. In any case they have “something different” that only certain amps could expand in a good way.

Honestly, I think are one of the best amps for EH pedals. They’re plenty of power and have enough “room” to expand the sounds of EH effects. Most important, their simple (stripped down to the basics) and raw/smooth “old” sound it’s one of the best ways to appreciate EH’s extreme dynamics.

Sure I’ve never had any bad experience in terms of sound and performance with an EH pedal plugged through a Sovtek MiG (the heavy 100 watt is my choice and favorite).

If I had to plug an EH through an amp, these would be my favorites (always speaking of tube amps) and head + cab (at least 2 x 12″, or 4 x 12″ – my fav.) set.

* SOVTEK.
* HIWATT.
* SUNN.
* FENDER (Classics like Twin Reverb, Bassman and a few more).
* MARSHALL (Obviously, not all but “Plexis”, old JCM 800 for bass & guitar and a few more, but not much).

I use a Fender Tele & Strat, but also Epiphone Les Paul, Aria Pro TA65 Semi, Line 6 Variax (which is a suprisingly nice thing to play) Westone Concord 3, all of which sound fantastic through EH pedals. My bench mark is the Telecaster. I test all new pedals with this. If it makes the Tele sound lush then I know I am on to a winner. If It makes the Tele sound naff….I don’t touch it with a barge pole!!! :doh:

I have a Fender Tele and Strat and plug my board into a trusty Hot Rod Deluxe. My weapon of choice is the BMP w/ Tone Wicker.

I’m an ibanez boy through and through. Unless that day comes i can afford a custom PRS. Because i’m a lefty i just know it’s gonna cost me so much more.

I mostly play bass, but my primary guitar of late has been a ’63 Fender Jaguar through an old Gibson Invader amp.

I use Fender Jaguar (Novak pups) & Telecaster (Stock neck & EMG bridge)
