JCM800 ( purchased new early-mid 80's sold recently)

 

Mesa Triaxis 2:90 ( sold recently)

 

Soldano SLO-100R (rare rackmount version)

 

A bunch of others but these were my favourites. All were excellent but the Soldano works best for me.

Well this is harder than you might think, considering that i bought 2 of them for different reasons, so one isnt necessarily 'better' than the other.

 

Id say ...

 

(1) Diezel Herbert (obviously)

(2) Mesa Rectoverb

(3) Marshall DSL100

 

Not to say that the DSL isnt very good, but it was nice to have an awsome sounding combo like the mesa that didnt melt your ears before it sounded good. For that marshall sound though, the DSL kicks all thier asses :)

1. '84 JCM00 2204 Voodoo tranny, fx loop, cap job (still have)

2. Mark IV (still have)

3. TSL 60

4. DSL 100 (only had for a short time)

5. JCM800 2205 - later model after bleed through fixed

 

Those bottom three could easily have changed order based on when I had what. I'm not even going into the first couple practice amps I had...

The longer you play and the longer you try out amps you realize that $$$$ don't necessarily amount to better tone. Once you get to a certain point the quality doesn't necessarily get better you just get different tones. I have played $600 amps I love and $2000 amps I didn't, it's all about your taste in tone.
