What's your favorite amp?

Hey all

What is your favorite amp and why?

[Shep]

I like the jcm 800 as it has one of the best tone's i have heard from any amp.

[disassociative1]

other.

Cornfords, Hellcat and Mk50 heads are my faves.

[Solo Hero]

Mesa Boogie Mark IV

Laney VH100R

Laney TT50 Combo - which I currently own and love it to death !

I'm a big fan of the Mesa Mark IV as well.

I've recently discovered the Randall RM4 modular preamp/RT2-50 power amp--I didn't think I'd ever say that I couldn't live without a Randall amp, but guess I'd say that now.

My 30 watt Marshall Artist, which was part of the JCM 800 range, is my pick. Sure the preamp is solid state, but being as how you can get the tube power amp going hotter since it's a lower wattage amp, I bet you'd never know it if I didn't tell you. Most sound guys never let me open up any of my higher watteage tube amps enough to begin with. This amp is the PERFECT compromise.

I would still like to get a Legacy, though...

the mesa mark IV are a very good amp. very sweet sounding.

the don't know those randall amps but i do know the randall warhead, there is one in the local music shop and omg the gain.....it's overwhelming.

i like corford amp's to,very warm.

You leave the good stuff off the list though, like old Marshalls and Soldanos and ****...

I think my Marshall Major is possibly the best sounding amp I have ever played. It gets a pretty mean distorted tone too with a treble booster but it's a risk of blowing fuses.

The competition is this 64 Fender Twin Reverb I played with RCA tubes in it.. i use more distorted or mildly overdriven sounds than clean, but the cleans on that just sounding so damn good!

i play metal so i like the bogner uberschall, and the engl powerball. i own both and ive had alot of amps but these 2 are my favs. i had a zakk wylde jcm 800 and it was awsome also.

Mesa Triaxis/2:90 combo.

[lyconxero]

Well for practice I just love my Spider II, but when it comes to playing live there's just nothing like playing through a Mesa.

[Shep]

another amp i really like, a Hiwatt 100.

[Rob Balducci]

the best amp is the Corford MK50 head.. Tone from out of this world!!

[7 Dying Trees]

At the moment I really like the marshall DSL's, although temporamental when it comes to sound from day to day the amp kicks arse, it's so raw and marshall, and has character!

[Shep]

i hav always hav this thing for going on stage with 3x 1959 marshall pleix's and 6x 1960's cab's and put everything on 10.

how loud would that be....... my ear's are bleeding.......
