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.
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.
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.

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!

Thanks to everyone who participated in our contest and thanks to the forum for letting us do this. It was very interesting to read your posts every day. I thought I was really well versed on all the amps steel players use, but you guys pulled a few ringers on me.
Anyway, on to the important part...the winners are...
Jim Cohen from Pennsylvania
Tony Glassman from the Great Northwest
Stu Shulman from New York
If you guys will PM me your shipping address, we will get Mud Stands in the mail to you first of the week.
Thanks again to everyone who participated and to all the forum members who have purchased Mud Stands. If you didn’t win and want to order one, here is the link... www.mudstand.com
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!
