Valves continue to deliver delectable tone in this line-up of world-class heads and combos
Blackstar DA100 Ruby
Together with ex-Whitesnake guitarist Doug Aldrich, Blackstar has tweaked its existing HT Stage 100 into a three-channel, crimson-clad behemoth with multiple voices, speaker emulating IR outputs and digital programmability. Glassy Fender-like tones can be swapped for AC30-style crunch in its Clean channel, while the overdrive gain ranges from 'edge of break-up' through to classic-rock chunk, arriving at 80s modified Marshall tones. The OD Voice controls scoop the boxier mids away together with a gain boost. Impressive reverb, solo boost, fully featured foot controller and computer-integrated programmability, plus a modest price tag, make this is a must-try amp.

1967 Gibson Barney Kessel
This isn't a guitar I would normally choose for an article, but I think it demonstrates just how extreme Gibson's custom division was prepared to get in order to make a customer happy back in the day.
