What is your favourite guitar tube amplifier? Only one, please

[7704A]

The cab is easy, it would be the 212/115 I built. It has 2- 12" Weber Grey Wolfs and 1- 15" Weber Alnico Blue Dog. Lots of sweet midrange bite and prominent; but not overpowering, low end.

That's a cool build.

Mark III Purple Stripe into my 1960A loaded with " Eddie " backs

If its only one? Splawn Quickrod!

Whichever amp I am plugged into at that moment.

Depends on the month (or day, in some cases). Fortunate to have a bunch of cool amps here and I change it up often.

Right now I'm really, really digging the Orange Rockerverb MkIII which didn't come close to making my top 5 when that thread came up a few months ago. Bright, aggressive pickups like the Fishman Moderns really work well with a darker, looser amp like the Orange.

Probably my ‘71 Superlead.

 

[VHTStark]

My 2022 Wizard w800 100w head. Simple 1 ch amp, but with the two inputs, contour and tone pull and boost I can get everything I need out of it from amazing cleans to brutal. Also my favorite head in regards to feel and response: has the punch, clarity, tightness and attack of my MC1 (with a bit less bass extension, more upper mids and a bit less gain) and the bounce of a 90's Bogner Ecstasy.

For cabs, that is tougher. My top 4 are a Redback loaded Marshall cab, greenback loaded Bogner cab, FL Diezel w/ V30's and a '99 Mesa recto cab. Probably go with the '99 recto cab, but I could be happy with any of the 4.

Amp is dependent of the day. Possibly my Tremoverb, Mark III or Silver Jubilee. Cab is Avatar 4x12 w/ V30's and T75's

 

[Texsunburst59]

It would be my ‘84 MKIIC+ Loaded Simul-Class Bubinga/Wicker Combo

Just one ? Mine is my Hermansson 5 Gain Stage jcm 800. I have a Larry on way so this could maybe change

 

[rsm]

I think it will stay the same

Same for myself, my 5 gain stage Hermansson Marshall. Closely followed by my Hellion, which I prefer for many things.

 

[Eazy-ESP]

If I was forced to have one only right now. My Fryette Deliverance 120.

The Hermanson 5 gain stage Marshall’s are just the top dog atm I’d say

My Lectrolab R700C modded by ken fischer R.I.P.

 

[glpg80]

98 Bogner Ecstasy 101B.

There’s nothing that amp does badly and it’s so easy to track, record, and dial in anything I want at any volume. Truly my desert island amp if I had to choose only one.

Yes, that is even over my Mark III++ Coli. That amp only knows one thing and that’s loud. There is no mouse volume anything with it. It also is much stiffer to solo on. It’s a killer amp but not a well rounded amp IMO. I still won’t be getting rid of it because it brings the brutal in ways nothing else can.

Friedman Twin Sister.

Any amp built by THD / Andy Marshall.

Current favorite cab a 80's Marshall slant with G12H75 Creamback on top, Vintage 30 on the bottom.
