I have quite a few amps, but for pedal steel, this '66 blackface Twin Reverb is probably my favorite right now, at least if the stage volume isn't pretty well controlled:

I use the Fryette Power Station (sitting on top) to tame the beast for dual use with guitar.

In the background: '68 Showman stack (surf's up, but people freak out if I bring it to even a surf band gig), '66 Vibrolux Reverb, 5D3 tweed Deluxe.

Best sounding amp I've played thru was a Fender old Bandmaster. Great texture, fabulous onboard reverb.

My Evans SE200. Full body tone & reliability. My wife
gave it to me on my 50th birthday 11 years ago. We're
both still going strong. I could really put the mud stand
to good use. Thanks for doing this.

Peavey Nashville 112

Post by Tommy Auldridge »

I prefer my Nashville 112 it sounds great sitting on a plastic crate, but I bet it would sound even better on a Mud Stand. Thanks, Tommy......

My favorite is my late 70's Fender Bassman Ten. Converted from 4x10 to 1x15. Very versatile and almost no gain even at high volume. Great for steel and also takes pedals very well. Use it for steel and take-off guitar too.

My favorite amp, out of the two I own, is a Carvin X60 tube amp and by golly it would be swell on a MudStand!

Sounds good with the acoustic Hawaiian as well when I don't want to set up two amps.

My Favorite is a Fender Twin with a hand built point to point chassis. Perfect Black face sound and enough head room for any gig I do.

Session 500 for home practice, Nashville 400 if I play out. Thirty years ago it would have been the other way.

I’m guessing my 78’ Webb, 74’ Twin, Session 400, or Steel King would sound much better on a MudStand and save my back on lugging a heavy amp stand with me🤠

My favorite amp for pedal steel is an old Gold Face Stereo Steel I bought used. You can pick these up pretty reasonable used here on the forum, or new for a lot less than some of the other "for steel" amps, and IMO, it sounds great! I have my choice of speakers - currently running a Telonics 12 and a Sica 15. It sounds great at practice levels at home just running one channel, or you can crank it up with 300 watts per channel X 2 channels, and make the drummer cry uncle!

Mud Stands

Congratulations to the three winners! I didn't enter this contest because I already have a Mud Stand. The three of you will really enjoy these amp stands. They are light weight, durable, and it looks cool with my amp!

Steelaire Rackmount with Telonic's cabinet and speaker. Why? Convenience of split system and splitting the weight. Easy EQ and smooth sound.
