Amps You Have Purchased More Than Once

Peavey XXX - twice
Peavey XXL - twice
Peavey 5150/II - twice on each
Bogner Alchemist - thrice (I think I only sold them each time to fund a different amp purchase, but I really like those amps)
DSL100 - different generations
I guess you can count a 2203/2204 - one being a Marshall JCM 800 2203, and now I have a Ceriatone 2204 clone
Jet City 20H - still own 2
Jet City 100H - twice
Jet City Amelia - own one production model, own one prototype
 
I think the only ones are Peavey JSX and 6505/5150 heads. I would still buy another 5150 combo and add it to the list. The one I used to have was the best sounding 5150 red channel of any iteration I’ve ever played. I would however turn it into a head next time.
I’m in the same boat. I’d take a 5150 combo turned into a head as a 50W mini amp over any of the fender 5150 iii lunchbox 50W options.
 
Suhr PT15 - didn't bond with it either time.
Guyton GT100 - still have both.
Edit- forgot about the Naylor SD60s. Damn I wish I'd kept one.

There is only two amps I have bought more than once.

1. Early 80s Peavey Renown. I played that amp for years and toured with it. Eventually traded it. I missed it so I got another one for almost nothing around 2006. It's my favorite solid state amp of all time. A close second would be the Ampeg 140ch.

2. The other one was a Marshall JVM410h. I had to sell mine years ago and replaced it last year.

If I find a great deal on a JCM 200 TSL I would buy that one again too.
 
Only one I bought twice was a first run TSL100 only because it was my first amp ever . Sold it for $700 bout it back for $300 . Still have it . I actually get it to sound good but i never fixed the bias problem
 
Original PV 5150 head x 2--PV 5150 combo x 2--100 watt Super Lead Marshall x 2--PV XXX x 2--50 watt Marshall x 2--EVH 5150 100 watt x 2
 
Peavey 5150; original block letter head for $350 around 2002, then a sig head for $350 around 2006, then an original 2x12 combo earlier this year for $500.

I think I'm finally going to keep this one.
 
I’ve never bought the same amp twice that I can remember?

What’s the point with so many choices?

Would you go back to the bar and take the same harlet home?

Not me……

over time you figure out what works for you and sometimes you have to go back to where you came from

Naylor sd60 - I’ve had 4. Currently own #4
Bogner xtc 100’s. I’ve had 3 100b and a 100a. Currently own 100b #3
Mesa rectos. I’ve had a 2 channel rev g, a rev d and 2 tremoverbs. Currently own a tremoverb.
Matchless C30 - currently own #2
Wizard MC 2 - currently own #2

So yes, it’s a pattern. But at least I’ve learned and held onto the latest duplicate buy so I can stop. I guess first step to beating the problem is admitting there is one lol.
