Holy crap what a collection. I know Chas West as he and Carlos play/played in a band called the Hollywood Allstars. We opened for them a few times in Arizona. Love to see your guitar collection. I am blown away!!!
I have heard that story about Zep dumping their Ric Transonics in the US after the 69' tour. If you watch "It Might Get Loud" there's a scene with Jimmy Page in his storage area and there is a Transonic right there. Is it possible he kept them?
I don’t think they’re the same amp. I’m fairly sure the amps on the American tour were rented, but Jimmy was a notorious Penny pincher, so I wouldn’t be surprised if Jimmy saw the opportunity to take an amp home and went for it, even if he doesn’t particularly like them. Jimmy was a producer and maybe saw the value in having one more sound at your disposal for recording. Sometimes you do use a muddy guitar track or an overly shrill guitar amp to record a part because of the overall tone. What sounds bad in the room, may sound great in the mix. Take Songs for the Deaf by Queens of the Stone Age. They used a bunch of regular Amps too, but some of those sounds are actually old shitty practice amps and stuff. I know they play a gorilla amp on the album, and that was the cheapest beginner amp for people of my generation and before. But because they these cheap and tiny amps, there’s a certain frequency or whatever they populate that made them sit in the mix next to all these other amps. I know they used a tiny Peavey Decade too. I mean, they used an Old Ampeg VT-40, an Ampeg VT-22, Ampeg V-4, and I’m sure a bunch of nicer amplifiers too, in addition to a fair amount of fuzz .
Do you have any idea what a WEM amp would be worth from the 70's? I've only seen it in pictures so I can't see the model number etc. but this old lady had it in her basement, along with a Fender Reverb from the 70's so I'm going to buy them both even though I know nothing about WEM other that what I've read, thanks to anyone with some help if possible.
Nice collection... ...love it

Do you have a Stramp in the mix? Loved that SIMMS WATTS, a very brief view.
Does anyone have any more information on this collection? I would love to see it in more detail.
