Somebody did at some point. I'm interested in the G series, but the only ones I've found have been a little too rough. That was a few years back.dubkitty wrote:i don't believe anyone mentioned Yamaha solid-state amps. i haven't played one, but they're supposed to be quite good.
of all people, B.B. King used a L Series Gibson amp in the 1970s.
I can absolutely vouch for the Yamaha G-100s - I've got one and it rules. Twin-ish, but a bit warmer, imo, and the parametric eq on the second channel on mine is outstanding. It's a beast, as you'd expect, but mine is on casters and has a cover - it was probably some Poconos jazzer's in a former life, lol. I wish I used it more, but actually, it's going to be leaving in a purge. Too bad I'm not closer to you....Errant Tiger wrote:And absolutely I'm in favor of older amps, in theory, and particularly those Yamaha G series. But all the ones that seem to turn up around here are pretty junky. For an area rich with musicians and college kids, I'm often surprised at how hard it is to find treasures.
I got to play whatever the G-series 4x12 was, and it was awesome. Price was really good but the reverb was busted. That, and the complete lack of a need for a 4x12 in my life.spacelordmother wrote:Yamaha amps are great. I have a G100212ii and a JX-20. Both sound amazing, but you're right in that lots of them are beat (my G100 is) and getting harder to find.
Oof. Know anyone in Philly? https://reverb.com/item/35209527-yamaha ... own-coffee
Hopefully in the next couple years I'll have a house of my own again, big enough to justify running two 212s regardless of whether gigging happens or not. But until then... no.Dandolin wrote:yeah - not sure there'll ever be a need for even a 212 in my life anymore
hope you find the right one for you
