We’re giving away three Mud Stand amp stands! Winners!

Post by Kermit Monk »

Let’s have some fun! We have been selling lots of Mud Stands to steel players. Let’s give three of them away. If you win one, we will ship it to your door. All you have to do, to enter, is answer this question...What is your favorite amp to use with steel guitar and why is it your favorite? Just comment below with your answer.

The contest will run until midnight Friday March 9th. We will then pick three winners and post them on this thread.

The Mud Stand...

1. Holds amps up to 21” tall, 30” wide, 12” deep and 70 lbs. max weight.
2. Tilts your amp back to the optimum angle for playing steel live.
3. Isolates your amp from hollow stages which can adversely effect your tone.
4. Only weighs 3 lbs. and packs into a neat block for carrying.
5. Made of acoustic foam. Will not scratch your amp, cases, floors, or your car seats.
6. Stops Reverb tank crashes caused by foot traffic on the stage.
7. Stops beaming, from the backside of your amp, to the drummer.
8. Takes up very little floor space. Great for small stages.

”The Mud Stand acts as a buffer zone between your dialed in tone and an acoustically unfriendly hollow stage.”... Guitar World Magazine

My fave combo steel amp is my trusty vintage Webb 614-E. Great and consistent tone no matter what venue I'm in. Currently with a Telonics neo 15-inch speaker.

Hope I can win a Mudstand, it would be my second! I need 2 to go with my Telonics cabinets and my other rig, Stereo Steel. :o

favorite amp and why

Post by Jerry Overstreet »

I bought this Nashville 400 in 1989. It's been a real workhorse going on 30 yrs. now. It has seen a couple speaker changes, but has never let me down through years of bouncing around all over this area.

I'm constantly amazed at the durability of Peavey gear and at the company's commitment to supply steel guitar players with quality and dependable gear specifically designed for our instrument.

I've used other amps and gear in stereo rigs etc. in the past, but for a single powerful and sweet sounding amplifier, hard to beat this old NV400.

My Webb Starburst, reason - never any compromise in tone settings, in ANY room, or venue ever!
Loaded with a SICA 15" speaker, been my main go to amp since 1997 after having played it on the TSGA Show and bought it on the spot. Many, many miles and still sounds and looks great! Love my WEBB.

My favorite go to amp is a Music Man RD100 with the EV 12L speaker. It's a great sounding amp and has been a real work horse since buying it new about 1980 as a gift to myself for surviving college. To my surprise, it has lasted through many bouts of the dreaded GAS.

Favorite amp...

Post by Dick Sexton »

I have two NV400s, two CUBE 80XLs and a Fox.

My favorite and what I keep going back to is the NV400 w/chip upgrade and Eminence speaker. Just sounds right to my ears.

My favorite is the Nashville 112. It sounds good, is relatively lightweight (with Eminence speaker) and I find it easy to dial in a tone I like.

I have a Twin Reverb with a JBL D130. Tubes! I must have tubes! And the D130 is sublime.

For pedal steel, I love my 1977 Peavey LSD 400 after replacing its factory JBL with a 1501-4 from a NV 400.

For lap steel, it's the 1979 Fender Musicmaster Bass Amp with a late '60s Vox Bulldog in place of the stock CTS "Fender Special Design." Volume and tone controls only, and nigh on impossible to make most lap steels sound anything other than great.

My 1996 Peavey Bandit BW works great for steel although many people told me it wouldn't. I like the guitarish sound that it gives the steel. Somewhere between a Fender 400 and a modern steel.
I don't know much but what I know I know very well.

My all-time favorite is my 1974 session 400. Got tired of reconing the original JBL, so after the third time it blew I put a sica Neo speaker in it. Still sounds great, took about 12 pounds off the amp.

My favorite amp is my Fender Champion 100.
Why?
Because it is my only amp and it is the only one I could
afford in my price range that sounded marginally acceptable.
I have stuff.
I try to make music with it.
Sometimes it works.
Sometimes it doesn't.
But I keep on trying.

My favorite is a Peavey Vegas 400. Since I am playing both guitar and steel, the dual channels let me dial in both.
