Best amps ever made

[BrownSound1]

In your opinion what are the best guitar amps ever made? My two personal favorites are rock standards ...the Marshall Super Lead Plexi 100 watter, and the venerable Fender Twin. All others are imitators and wannabes.

The rules for this are as follows...

Your selection must be an all tube amplifier, combo or head/cab.

No modelling amplifiers can be listed
No solid state amps!!!!

Agree 100% with the addition of the Marshall JCM800....

For bass: Ampeg pro2 & pro4 both kick ass.

Haven't even thought about another amp after getting my JCM 900 100-watt head.............10+ years ago!

JCM800's for sure

Mesa-Boogie Dual Recto

Soldano SLO 100

[Don Corleone]

The Marshall Super Lead Plexi 100 watter is definately in there, also the Vox AC30 (I've had some killer sounds out of those things).

[BrownSound1]

I wondered how long before someone threw out a Vox AC30.

The Soldano Lucky 13 was the best amp i ever owned and used until it died.

I have never been a Marshall fan for some reason.

Most of the Marshalls I've owned have been quirky bastards. Just think of it like a woman, she has her ups and downs, but if you treat her good she'll moan for you all night.

For clean tones ----> (vintage) Fender Deluxe Reverb

Overdrive----> various Marshalls (if the AMP is having a good night)

For all around ---> the new Traynor combos
