My amp, um, collection? Part I
What I have isn't strictly a collection. There's no focus or theme; It's not a complete set of anything. I'm a gigging player of modest means, but I have managed to accumulate a group of wonderful tube amps . I like to play my amps turned up at least halfway (I don't own anything with a gain/master setup), So I always bring the smallest amp that'll do the job...

1952 Alamo. Like a Tweed Princeton. For all I know, even the tubes are original. It has a silver Jensen I've never seen elsewhere. Freddie King tone in a box.
I don't know what to call this. I took a Craigslist Epi Valve Jr, a Mercury Magnetics Mod kit, A WGS 15w Alnico 12" speaker, and handed it all to Danny Ghinn in Hollywood. He wired a SECOND power tube, two trannys, a choke, moved the hot parts to the chassis, played with the resistor values, loaded the speaker into the baltic birch cab, slapped on a "Tone" label off an old radio, a "Futurama" script from an early 60's Selmer combo, and a flat "Fender" grille logo. GREAT harp amp, a 7w growler.
The 7th Tone King Imperial ever built; Ser #007! 30lbs, 20 watts.
Great demo here:
