pbasspecial Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 My guitarist who is a real gear head recommended this company to me. They are a Malaysian based amp company who specialise in doing top notch clones of all the best guitar amps out there for a fraction of the price. I am really taken by their B15 copy called an Aunt Peg (Ampeg). Looks really good. I wondered if anybody here has used one or even seem a video as I’m struggling to find any footage. Any help would be gratefully received. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That might very well be how that song goes, however that doesn't automatically also make it true, and certainly not applied to every possible situation and all possible things. Also I believe these Ampeg B-15 clones quite possibly could actually be totally real, that is unless "pbassspecial" is just making stuff up. But why would he do that?

Geek99 Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 I think “aunt peg” may have been a bad choice of name if they were hoping people would find them in google there seems to be an “adult film actress” also called aunt peg who’s been in some videos .... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this a joke on that adult film actress with the same "artist" name as these clone amps or something? Like if you just click that link in the OP there are loads of pictures of the amp in question. It does of course require of you to actually click it. Edited November 14, 2020 by Baloney Balderdash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geek99 Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 (edited) I’ve never seen a link render in a box-out like that. I assumed it was a dead link or a link that would not render an image due to its type. Hence my comment albeit incorrect for this reason I did not click it when I went looking for images myself I found the x rated content under those same search terms Edited November 14, 2020 by Geek99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reggaebass Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 I think it looks quite cool, there doesn’t seem to be any sound clips anywhere that I could find 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanAxe Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 I’d love to build one of those but I think I’d use a different box so as to put the valves above the chassis. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friend might buy just the chassis and get Zilla to build. Will reduce shipping and import tax costs possibly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She seems to have had quite a fascinating life too. I've just been reading her Wikipedia entry. I hope Ceriatone don't get a cease & desist from her estate!

B15 clones do indeed exist but I was not referring to them just an original B15. There's magic in them old amps.

Got it cheap, for what equals just about 300£ from a second hand music gear shop in the mid 90's (including the original flip top cabinet). Was one hell of a great amp, and I regret much being stupid enough to let go of it again, after it having served me well for over 10 years, even if I these days actually really prefers the tone I get from solid state amps. Still I wouldn't mind getting one again, or the newer still in production Ampeg PF-50T, or even just the PF-20T, for that matter, if I ever get that kind of money to spare again. Just to have that kind of tone in my arsenal. Edited November 17, 2020 by Baloney Balderdash 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
