Bucket list amps you haven’t gotten to play yet, much less own?

Amps I'd like to play and possibly own if even just for a short while.

Marshall JCM800
Mesa Dual Rec
Hellion
Evil Joe
Carstens Grace

It's kinda crazy to think that I've never legitimately played a JCM800 or Dual Rec. By legitimately I mean at band volumes through two 4x12's ideally in my home.

Gower. I've never heard a Gower clip that didn't make me reach for my wallet. Its just so hard for me to justify a 'boutique' amp at my current station: weekender / hobby status.

Not alot out there for me that I haven't owned or played except...

Wizard - I need to play one at least once.
GZ Hellion - This has really been the only amp I've really wanted to own for a bit.
GZ MOAB - Same as above.
Bogner Snorkler - Super interested but scared as I've not gotten along with any Bogner amp I've owned or played, ever!
 
Related but I miss the GLORY days of HC... That place was like a revolving door for dudes trading amps out, "Didn't like it? Send her back and I'll box yours..." On Marshall Forum we had an amp trade going for a long time until of course someone ruined it... Too many awesome amps now that are just priced in hens teeth category to try.

My short list:

Cameron Modded Plexi
First Run Soldano SLO
Dumble
Any of my amps in a stadium... Played Arena's, played smaller venues... Stadium would be tits

Now that would be a real treat. To hear your amp turned up through a massive venue P.A. Use your wireless to go out front and feel it.

I always loved running wireless and hearing the front of house and walking through and hearing the differences for sure.... Dudes at the front of the stage always heard bass drums, snare and just cranked Marshalls/Splawns :D
 
Hiwatt DR103 or DR504, but I did play my first clone a while back
Never played a true Bogner, not counting the Alchemist
Fender Tube Tonemaster from the 90s
Laney SuperGroup

That is what comes to mind.
