I regret selling my Titan. That's right - a Titan.

Also my 1988 JCM 800 2210

Mark IV A, serial number 16. Pretty sure I traded it for a worse amp that I quickly got rid of. I keep hoping it will turn up locally somewhere, would love to get it back.
 
Ibanez jpm 100 p3, sold to guitar center for $800 so I could buy a splawn quick rod. The splawn was a good amp but definitely not worth it. That was a fantastic fiddle. Oh well!
 
I sold a pair of Bogner 1x12 Cubes that I should have kept.

I also sold both of my Mesa Mark-IIIs to pay for Law School. I easily could have replaced them with the number of other amps that have passed through the stable by now. But those were my pride and joy when I was a young broke musician.
 
Bogner 2x10 Shiva EL34 Combo (V30 & GB) closed back, sounded great.
Taylor 914CE amazing guitar but traded it for a SLO.
 
Hughes & Kettner Access Preamp. I bought one in mid 2000s, and it was my primary for gigging back then. Into a Carvin TS-100, then a sing ADA vertical 2x12. I think some of it was the 50w celestions in the cab, but it would get the best Marshall-esque rhythm tones with all the bark, and nice woody lead tone, cabinet knock and all.

When my ex-wife and I separated in 2010, I replocated, stopped gigging, down-sized, etc., and sold it. I tried three more in the years after that (both board revs), and could never get that sound.
 




REASON Amps SM-50 head i traded for a Gibson Explorer. I wish i still had the amp.
 
I regret selling my 2204, but only because I was trying to be nice to the market and not gouge.

Now, I wish I had jacked the price up where every other asshole had them.
 
My wizard mtl2 6l6 . It should just be called Pitbull II
 
Three that I regret selling and will not replace...

1. 1985 no dot Mark III Coli. Nuff said...
2. Carol-Ann OD2-100 EL34. 2006 vintage. This amp was a beast and every OD2 after that I tried never came close.
3. Red Iron T-Rex - Octal preamp Trainwreck inspired. Another beastly 30 watts!
 
Two of the three Andersons I've owned.

Although in all fairness, I guess the two Suhrs I own now are a replacement of sorts

Actually after the Suhr Classic S I sold, I've never owned an HSS guitar with a rosewood neck again, only one HHH. But I sure don't regret selling that boat anchor rofl
 
My Marshall JMP 2203. I gigged it for years...hauled it all over the middle of the country. Sold it off in ~2000 to downsize equipment as we welcomed kiddo#1 to the world. I wish I'd kept it because of what it meant to me historically. I look at picking another up, but never have.

I still have the matching 4x12s and still have the primary axes from that era....no idea why I sold that one amp, but have regretted it since. Everyone else I let go at that time, no regrets.
 
Naylor Duel 38 probably the best amp I/ve owned next to the Current '82 JCM800 and Wizard 40w 6v6 MCII.
So the 40 watt MCll is your favorite sounding Wizard? …and you have had them all. Maybe I should try the 40w MCll.

Yes it was my favorite. I've owned most models many times over, never the Rock Standard though.
 
Of all the amps I sold, a few years ago, I sorta kick myself for selling the Randall Satan.
It was a fantastic modern metal amp, that didn’t need an OD pedal for “that” sound.
