My Hollow Cobra sounds great through anything, but is just AMAZING (to me) through my Dr. Z MAZ 38 with 2 10s. xotic BB+, Keeley 4-knob, Line6 Delay.

My buddy has a Classic that just SMOKES through his Lonestar.

Close second is the acoustic side of my Crowdster Plus through the PA! ;)

I had a Crowdster for a short period of time and that really is a killer combination!

I have Cobra S, a Drop Top Classic, a Drop Top and a Fender Strat that I play through my Budda SD30 2x12, Mesa Express 5:50, Top Hat Club Royale 2x12and a small Fender Champ 12. They all sound great. The guitars sound beautilful and just ring out with these amps. The amps all have good tubes for clarity and a great overdriven sound. My wife bought me the Strat and Champ 12 in 1987.

I have a Zendrive, OCD, Fuzz Head, Sunface, Clone Chorus, Top Boost in a Can, two Fulldrives (one is an original), Mini Deja Vibe, Boss DD3, Fulltone Clyde, Distrotion Pro, H2O, Holy Grail reverb and some others. I don't realy like to muddy up the clarity of my guitar tone with pedals, but sometimes you have to "dabble" for the fun of it.

Don't know yet how Fat'n Sexy Redy will sound through my Mesa RKII Dual Rec . ,but will find out in a few months :)
Btw , it took me almost one year :( to learn how to tweak that beast and get the holly grail tone I want .
Before that I was a typical Marshall boy , " plug and play" (every knob on maximum ! :cool: )

That is one of those "impossible" rigs. Impossible to get a bad sound from that!

OK, must wipe drool from mouth before getting back to work...

I'm partial to my TA solid Droptop running through at least a Durham SexDrive pedal (mild boost/soft compression for harmonics) into a Mesa-Boogie Lonestar Special 112 with an MXR Carbon Copy analog delay sitting in the Send/Return loop with a mild, short delay to create a little ambient space.

Granted, I'll kick in some of the other distortion/OD, EQ, modulation, or time-based FX that you see on my board, but depending on a song's needs, but my fundamental tone for pop/rock/country/contemporary Christian music comes from the components described above.

Hard to pick - right now it is my Hollow T classic into a Bogner Metropolis (click number 2, vol 10, gain 7.5) through a /13 2x12 closed back.

Harder edged stuff, it would have to be my Hollow Cobra S split through the Bogner 101B and /13 RSA 23 into their respective cabs.

I just had a Dumble ODS clone amp made, so maybe my "favorite" combo will change soon?!

Ya'll ain't gonna believe this...

Hollow Drop Top through a slightly modifed Blackheart Little Giant run DI, with a dash of some carefully selected pedals. Really! :eek:

Talk about your opposite ends of the spectrum! :rolleyes:

Tough question.........I have a Koa HDT, and a Atom CT loaded with Antiquities, and a Strat Classic with the VA5 pickups. How can you pick just one????

But, having said that, I'll say that my favorite Andy and Amp combination is my '56 Tweed Bassman with the Andy Strat Classic.

Cobra S into EVH 5150 III with TC Electronics G-Major in the effects loop. Then on to 2 1-12 Mesa open backs each with a Celestion vintage 30. Goes from Clean to Mean to Obscene and everything in between.

Any guitar through a Maz18JR NR head mated with a 212 Z open-back cab loaded with 1 Celestion Blue and 1 Hellatone 30.

For myself alone and with tone and oneness, Mike

Mark,

So you like the F30? Interesting choice. I have one and I really only like it with my Andy's. I have a V30 in mine that warms
things up a bit.

My T-Classic and/or 56 Custom Shop Strat through MAZ 38 w/ MXR Distortion, OR, my JB Sig Strat and/or PRS Standard 22 through my Mesa Boogie Maverick. But, at the end of the day, it comes down to what mood I'm in...

I may get chastised for this one a little, but I like the sound of my Cobra through my Triple Rec. It is an UNBELIEVABLE combination.

I'd have to say my TAG Classic through a Mesa Mark IV head into a Marshall 2x12 cabinet, is my current favorite.

Danno, I use the F-30 for all my lead and melody stuff. Although, lately I have been digging the Plexi. But, in the end, I keep going back to one of my T Classics (humbucker in the neck) and the F-30. I had a Subway Rocket that I sold (that was a dumb move) that sounded great. I understood the F-30 to be much like the Subway. It is in a way but, seems more responsive to Anderson's.

I just love my Drop Top Classic through my Fargen Blackbird 40. Warm and fat-great clean and nice breakup when pushed a bit. The Drop Top covers so much territory.

The master on the Dabeck is amazing. I was shocked to discover that I can get a better low volume tone for church from the 50 watt Dabeck than from my 15 watt Dr Z RXJR.
