[smiling_cynic]

1. Guytron GT100

2. Fender Vibro Champ

3. Marshall JMP

4. Framus Cobra

5. Fender Showman

6. Mesa DC-3

7. Rivera M100

8. Engl Fireball

9. Mesa Rectoverb

10. Tech 21 Trademark 10

11. Marshall TSL122

12. Fender Hot Rod Deluxe

13. Vox AD30VT

14. Soldano Decatone


Rankings aren't according to tone alone... the Decatone sounds better than lots of these amps, but for what I expected I was crushingly disappointed.

For different applications, the rankings might change too. Obviously you can't really compare a Framus Cobra and a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe.

So I just ranked by asking myself "In what order would I sell the amps..." Most of the stuff at the bottom is already long gone.

In the end, once the dust has settled, Marshalls and Fenders are still tough to beat.

[blackba]

I am sure some people have lists that are supper long. Here is mine. The 4 way tie for 1st, is what I currently have, if any amps drops below 1, then I typically sell it.
