warwickhunt Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Do you mean for sale or presently manufactured? Do a search for recent 'valve amp' threads and lots of availability! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merton Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Wot @warwickhunt sez. Ashdown, Handbox, Orange all currently manufacturing. Recent but no longer in manufacture - Laney, Mesa Boogie, Fender (I think)… 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPJ Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Stoneham Amplification have the YI200 which I can personally attest is a piece of sonic beauty. https://www.stonehamamps.co.uk/product/yi200-head/? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt on your Bass? Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 (edited) Matamp is my personal first choice. UK based, hand built and customisable. Hiwatt are also still in production I believe on the higher cost end of things. I think bugera still offer an SVT equivalent? (I might be off the pace on that though). In addition to the above, Traynor are a Canadian brand that pop up from time to time. Not sure if you can buy new still and Verellen (US based) I think have just made the decision to stop production. Marshall vba400 is a Goliath but only a few about second hand. Aguilar have some second hand market valve offerings, as does sadowsky (sa200 - pretty rare). There's some amazing trace Elliot heads in the used section still I think as well, and I think Peavy did a valve amp run a few years back. Vintage heads are still worth a look with big iron, depending on how loud you need them...soundcity, selmer, burman, sunn, etc. What features, sound and volume are you after?

Quilly Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 I’ve the 100w Ashdown ctm100 head and their 30w “little bastard” , both pure valve and both cracking amps. Don’t let the low wattage fool you , the 100w amp can get seriously loud and even the 30w head can comfortably handle small gigs . The LB -30 appears regularly on this site and reverb for sale around the £300 mark. Well worth it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're still for sale on their site, so I presume they're still making them. I have the CTM100 and I love it but they seem to be kind of rare these days. You tend to see a lot more CTM-300s and CTM-30s / Little bastards around. CTM-200s are as rare a hens teeth.
