Top 5 Amps of all time?

[Mr. Willy]

I'm glad to see a lot of Fender Super Reverb love in here. That amp drips with tone.

My favorite Fender amp. Pure, organic tonal bliss.

No I think the ship has sailed. But I am honest when I say the toanz in the videos I heard were really badass and I am all about the end result.

But anyway my real list:

Bogner Uberschall (I favor Rev. 2) (just perfect for me, such a badass perfect metal tone)
VHT Pitbull 100CL (probably the most aggressive and unique amp I have ever played)
Orange Rockerverb (Great gain and probably the best cleans on any high gain amp I have played)
Diezel Herbert (The most crushing feel it in your ribs tone ever)
Peavey 5150 (Solid workhorse and probably one of the most used amps around)

I am a metal guy and cannot take anything away from Fender cleans or the amazing Dumbles, Friedmans or countless other amps that I have not played personally. There are a few that would probably knock some of these off my list if I actually got to play with them but that is my current list.

#1 amp want that I will probably never get to play is the Friedman JJ

I have a few of the amps mentioned but will never play the majority of the ones on the list.
I do have a secret-lust list fueled by you guys. (..daily really)
That's why we spend years to find some of these amps.
Might be fun to see a spreadsheet of the poll results.
