Whats your "Top 5" tubes amps of all time, or even top 10? This should be interesting ;) What amp do you most regret selling?
 
1) CCV
2) JCM 800Fortin cali
3) XTC/UBER
4) MESA RK
5) ENGL SE/Savage/Invader
6) Diezel VH4
7) VHT UL
8) Soldano SLO
9) Rivera KR7
10) Framus Cobra

Still wanting to try CAA, Cornford, Natas and Hagen.

Why did I sell my old Fender 4x10 Super Reverb for $100 when i was 17 and an Origional Tube screamer for $20 :doh:
 
SLO
Hiwatt 100
Mesa CII+
Vox AC30
Plexi
Any number of Fenders

Get the right year on these and that pretty much covers anything. ;)

Fortin Cali
Soldano SLO

and, there's space for a Mark IIC+ or Mark III Red Stripe in there too.

Diezel Herbert
Mako Mak4
Roland JC120 (best clean sound ever)
H&K Switchblade 100H (dear god the versatility and ease of use on this one is almost impossible! especially considering the price!)
Marshall JVM 410H (best marshall I've ever heard...)
 
In no particular order

Rivera K100 (also biggest selling regret)
Egnater M4
'74 Marshall JMP
VHT Pittbull 50/cl
Ark Model A
Fuchs ODS 50
DAR FBM100H
Sunn Model T

Matchless Chieftain
Friedman Marsha/Browneye

Lots of other awesome amps out there as well but these are the ones that I would start out with based on my experience if I was putting together a collection of studio amps.
 
CCA OD100 SE+ (my dream amp)
5150
5150II
5150III
Splawn Nitro
Biggest regret selling my mid 70's purple Marshall sl100 with matching cab: (
 
Wish I could say I played or owned all these, but anyway here is my list.

Fender Tweed Bassman
Marshall Superlead
Vox AC30
Mesa Mark IIC+
Soldano SLO
Marshall Silver Jubilee
H&K Triamp
Fender Brown Super
Fender Blackface Super Reverb
Bogner Shiva

List would likely change if you asked me tomorrow. :)
 
1. Budda Superdrive 30
2. Mesa Triaxis
3. Voodoo Amps Jose Mod Traynor Bassmaster
4. Port City Sahana
5. Fender Deluxe Reverb Reissue

I think the one I miss the most is the Triaxis. If this beast had knobs and a global EQ, I'd have never strayed. But, it also doesn't do the marshall thing, and I've long since been in that world, so the Budda and Port City serve me well. I still think I'd like to have access to a Mesa Mark (maybe a studio pre), and a Jose Modded something or other.
 
In no particular order:

20th A XTC
Mesa Mk III
Hiwatt 100
Fender Blackface Deluxe
Mata Amp Page version
SLO
 
Only coming what I have owned or had a good go at...

Marshall JVM410H - Very versatile, MIDI, relatively cheap and replaceable on the road.

Fender Hot Rod Deluxe - Cheap, versatile, takes pedals really well, and the clean is superb.

Marshall Plexi (or good copy) - No description necessary

Bogner Alchemist - For the price it's really Something. Grab and go amp, w/ FX and versatility.

Brunetti 059 - A world of tones and flexibility. Great features and MIDI. Not cheap, but excellent quality.
