I use to jam with a guy who would show-up one day with a Soldano SLO, then a VHT Pitbull, then a Mesa D/R... To my ears, the SLO (with its top-end sizzle) sat best in the mix. His Pitbull and Rectifier tended to ventured into bass player frequencies; regardless of how he set them. He wouldn't let me dial him in, of course. I asked him to stick to using the SLO, or find a nice blend between two amplifiers...with the SLO as the dominant voice. This was unacceptable to him as well, so he left. I tried to explain the priority of the mix, which didn't make a dent. This is what happens when a guitarist spends too much time playing alone vs playing in a band.

When I was playing in one particular band and was in full swing GAS mode, I would always let the band decide what they liked best. All the amps I was trying I liked so I couldn’t lose with whatever they liked. And of course, after it was all said and done, the amp to be was a Marshall...lol

I think I've been through just about everything in the way of amplification. I ended-up playing the same brands I started-out on... Marshall, VOX, and Ampeg.
