Nathaniel Murphy Has Questions: Amps with Richard Fortus

[@Utube-s8m]

Just Richard’s gear looks like a store.

[@benlogan430]

The reason people have so many amps and guitars is because amps and guitars and so freakin cool.

[@cortmiller]

I love that selmer. Always thought they were so cool with that alligator covering. Hardly find ones super clean though but that’s my fave out of that bunch

[@chicagomusicexchange]

One of the coolest amps for sure!

Billy's Eliminator era tones: A Dean guitar with DeMarzio Super Distortions through a 1x12 Legend amp. The Legend had a tube pre-amp and a solid state power section. I like the Eliminator tones myself. I liked is less with the following few albums: Afterburner, Recycler, and Antenna.

Love this kinda stuff, old amps, guitars, amps with stories, guitars with stories, love it, thanks

[@chicagomusicexchange]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@willholt100]

Man I'd love to sit around with you two and talk amps. Killer guitarists both of you and proper sound and down to earth to boot.

[@nedbressler3234]

I’ve got a red M20 full stack, pretty cool amp. Never saw another one till now. Plus Richard is a super cool dude, thanks for video

[@chicagomusicexchange]

🤘🏽 You're welcome!

Guitars and amps are works or art. I've learned that enjoy them and pass them along. Some stay forever. Because they generally hold there value, I've learned to be less concerned about tieing up money in them. I can always unload if I need to. Like vintaage cars, guitars are art that can be enjoyed. I totally get why he has so many. It is rock and roll history, the people who made them, loved and treasured them.

Richard, you should open the Tone gallery Museum !

[@s.w.matteo6679]

That looks like my Silvertone.

[@bradrehn1007]

Fascinating, great sounds abound!! Granted, it's another era, but it makes me wonder how many amps did Tommy Tedescho need?

[@instant_coffee_is_evil]

That Magnatone M20 mesmerized me....

[@chicagomusicexchange]

Great sounding amp!

[@davidpepper442]

Great video...that Magnatone M20 was too cool. Here's the question: What 2 amps does Nathaniel own? I'm betting on an AC30 and some type of blackface Fender.

[@khktgnk57]

He said a Princeton and a Supro Black Magick reverb in the new andertons video with him

[@davidpepper442]

@@khktgnk57 Cool! I'll check out that video. Thanks man

[@SamuelPHell]

Great stuff as always fellas! Also... Sam Hill has questions: Nathaniel, what's your favorite Adidas sneaker to wear?

[@going2Mars]

My money is on the Samba…

[@chicagomusicexchange]

I'll ask him and get back to you! I'd also bet Samba.

Selmer was originally a woodwind company (my mom has a Selmer clarinet), but I guess they figured that they could make more money with guitar amps than with clarinets and saxophones (really the only bands using woodwind instruments in the late 60s were jazzbos or total freaks like Zappa).

[@wesleyc.4937]

And then... he got the bill from the electric company!
