Which is your favorite reasonably priced boutique guitar amp? For me a candidate would be the Astro Rocket from Pure Tone Amps which is their best bang for the buck. The amp uses a 2XEL84 Power section. I’m playing it with three guitars: Gibson Les Paul Black Beauty (2010), Fender Stratocaster (1973) and Squier Affinity Telecaster (2016). I’m using a 1971 Marshall Basketweave 1982A 4x12 Cabinet with Celestion G12H30 55Hz Pulsonic Greenbacks. Recorded using a 70s Unidyne IV 548 close mic and an AKG C414 BXLII room mic set to omni at 10 feet.
