The 15 Most Desired Amps.
« on: July 13, 2008, 12:28:09 AM »
Use any criteria you like. No restrictions on price, size, power, options, etc. Which do you believe to be the most desired amps for what ever reasoning? But please do list your reasoning.

Thanks!

15 is indeed a large number!

i'm happy with my JMP50 master volume. if i wanted a new amp maybe i'd go for a splawn or a vintage modern.

These poll threads are really annoying. Why 15? It doesn't promote discussion at all and seems pretty redundant.

Desired by whom? me?  If so, 15 is a silly number - it allows me to list every amp I want plus some I would probably never use (OK, if money/space was no object I might have them lying around "just in case" :)).  In other words, there wouldn't really be a decision to make.  Anyway, here's my attempt at a list (in order):

VHT Ultralead
Engl Savage 120 (which I already have)
Hughes & Kettner Triamp MKII
Engl Invader 100
Diezel VH4
Mesa Rectifier (which I already have, though I'd prefer a dual to my single)
Bogner Uberschall
Peavey 6505
Engl Powerball
Marshall JCM900 SL-X
VHT Deliverance 60
Steavens Poundcake 100
VOX AC30
Fender Twin
Roland Jazz Chorus 120

FWIW, If I had the top 3 in the list I'd probably never look at another amp again...

Diezel Einstein
Diezel VH4

1968 Marshall Superlead 1959
JCM800 2203
1960's Vox AC30
1970's Hiwatt DR504
Egnater Mod50
Engl Special Edition E670
Axe FX Ultra

Ahhhhhhhhhh.

As the prospect of international rockstardom has passed me by, I'm only really interested in little amps I can use at home, so I can't come up with 15 or even close:

Cornell Plexi 7
Suhr Badger
Fargen Mini-Plex II
Matamp Minimat II
Z-Vex Nano

And if I ever get a hilltop mansion with no neighbours for miles around:

Cornell Plexi 18/20 (or similar)

Nothing with lots of channels or hundreds of knobs like the flight deck of Concorde.  Except maybe a Rivera, I like the way they have a "Fender" channel and a "Marshall" channel - I can get my head round that.

I don't know if I can think of 15 but I'll try.

Gomez El Sodino (hot rodded blonde bassman clone)

Marshall JCM800

Marshall Blues Breaker or JTM45 or a Roccaforte

Mesa Boogie Mk IV

Vox AC30

Fender Super Sonic

Fender Twin Reverb Blackface

Fender Dual Showman (like the ones Dick Dale uses)

Can't think of anymore. I don't think anyone could need anymore either 'cause if you'd have these, you couls summon almost any tone.
