Loving the morgan amps!

But I'll be the first to say Henning Cherry Bomb.

Maybe I'm a bit biased :D

How about pics AND clips? I was Curt's first order for this model, so my build is featured in his promotional video. I think he's running this through some Warehouse GB clones.

Nice :rock:
 
Those Morgan amps are beautiful.


I have a thing for wheat-front Marks.

I'm also a big fan of Matchless amps.

And, I'm biased since it's my amp, but I used to not like the Roadster's half treadplate, but it's grown on me and is one of my favorite metal-looking amps now.

Dar FBM-100 takes the belt IMO.

I do like that Larry amp posted above but another close runner is the Henning CherryBomb, that thing might be the best looking amp to me but that DAR is near impossible to beat.

Anyone who thinks a guitar amp is "sexy'" really should get out more!

That's a silly opinion to have. There are plenty of Objects de Art out there, like cars, furniture, weapons (knives, guns, shields, armor), lamps, watches, toasters, clothing, architecture, etc. And yes, even guitar amps. Hell, one could make the argument that any "thing" that is made can be made well, and with a physical beauty that other people can appreciate. You imply that you have no appreciation for good commercial/industrial design. But a lot of other people do. Any product ever made had a few people behind the scenes who dedicated their lives to making that thing. Designing that thing. Crafting that thing. Think about it, that chair you're sitting in right now... a person actually spent time designing how it looks and how it functions. It wasn't just slapped together out of thin air. That beer you're drinking? Somebody sat at a desk for hours upon hours instead of being with their family in order to make sure the space between the "S" and the "H" in the title was perfect. So yeah... some guitar amps can certainly be "sexy" and it's obvious the folks who designed their appearance did so with intent. Sometimes they failed. Sometimes they went above and beyond expectations.

There's a whole industry out there dedicated to making things you buy look good. Why don't you head over to http://www.thedieline.com and tell me I'm wrong. Package design can be beautiful. Good typography can be breathtaking. And fuck yeah... there are some sexy as hell guitar amps out there too.

I kinda like all the light blue pilot lights on Soldanos.
 
These are some of my favorites. The SLO, Hiwatt and Roadking are mine. The Henning is not mine, but damn that white/black combo is great looking. The Roadking was stolen,..... :cry:
