Forgot to share this past weekend. But I picked up this 1979 Deuce VT. Great amp. Weighs a TON. 120 watts. Needs new tubes. Needs a thorough cleaning. 2 of the casters are seized up. Couple of burn spots on the top that I assume are where someone rested a cigarette on the top and it burned down while the guitarist was playing.
Found two services stickers on the chassis; one from 1979, an amp repair shop in California and another from the mid 1980s from our own Buddy Rogers Music here in Cincinnati. The musician I picked it up from had it for the last decade. Nice to learn a little bit about the history some of the gear that passes through my hands.
I’ve wanted to get my hands on one of these for some time. I’m glad it’s here. I’m excited to service this amp and run some vintage guitars through it!

This weeks boisterousness..
This crate head and cab have been at the house for a while now. Can’t seem to pack it up. Nor do I find the urge to sell it yet. I like it. Can’t believe how great it is. I loaded the cab with Celestion Hempback speakers not too long ago.
Just been writing a lot this week. This was what I’ve used. Change of pace head wise. Typically run the orange.

Early 80s G-600
Mid 2000s crate cab w/ 4 Hempback speakers.
2018 Black Back (it’s heavy as hell)
And my pedalboard. Been about the same for a year now. Happy with my pedal setup.

The Crush Pro 120 is my daily driver. If you play one you know why. The Origin 20 is a close second for home use. My Marshall head and matching cab don’t leave the house. If you’re in the market for something similar I can’t recommend either enough. The orange buy itself is great for metal/doom and the reverb is pretty great but also doubles as an incredible pedal runner. The origin is a stripped down easy to use tube amp. It makes a great pedal runner. Keeps a nice crisp clean tone until it’s cranked then you can get some vintage style Marshall overdriven tones. My Marshall cab is my home workhorse. I run just about all my head through it. I’ve somehow managed to keep these in pretty minty condition in the last two years. Heck, the Marshall still has the tags on it. 💀🤘
