I don't have "a" sound, per se...it depends on what kind of gig I'm playing.

 

The four amps that I use on a fairly regular rotation are:

 

Mesa Road King II v.2 (either with a 2x12 or 4x12")

'64 Vibrolux Reverb

DRRI (when I don't want to take the '64 out)

Fender Cyber Twin SE (when I don't want to take the Road King and a pedalboard out)

 

Those cover just about all the ground I need covered.

Depends on the setup.

Twin Reverb. (6l6)
Ac30. (el84)
1977 Princeton Amp (6v6)
Dr Z Maz Jr. (el84)

Alot of ground covered.
Those are the four i own at the moment. Where the Maz is at my parents. It suffices for any kind of tone i'd want with the basis being clean.

Now there are a few amps i have yet to try out and own.
Jcm 800 2204
Reeves Custom 50 / Hiwatt DR 50 (both with fane speakers in 4x12's / 2x12's)
Tremoverb head (2x12 closed back V30's)
And for kicks.. i'd like a Swart, VibroChamp, Hc-30 as well to fill in some holes. Of course the swart would be used for gigs instead of the princeton. The HC-30 would replace the Ac30 live and in the studio probably. And the Vibrochamp, {censored}.... everyone needs one of these!

though if i had my way. I'd have a stereo setup:
Pending on what guitar.. Tele = el84's Sheraton(or if my setup in the future changes to a nicer ES series guitar) = Twin

I'd like something on stage to be

Twin (or something lighter and better)
HC-30 (some cab loaded with celestion blues)
JCM800 (this would replace my Rat/Shredmaster situation) The amp itself would be my dirt. Heavy dirt that is... :)

And then Smaller gigs... Swart Space tone / Sheraton

Gibson Super Goldtone 30RV (1X10 and 1X12 Combo)
Top Hat Ambassador (2X12 Combo - one Jensen & one Vintage 30)
Bad Cat Hot Cat 30 (2X10 Combo - Blue Sparkle Custom Edition)
Marshall TSL-122 (2X12 Combo Celestion Vintage 30's)

My next 4 would probably be my:

Mesa Boogie Heartbreaker (Anniversary Model 2X12 Combo)
Marshall Bluesbreaker (2X12 Combo)
Fender 65 Twin Reverb Reissue (2X12 Combo)
Top Hat Club Royale (2X12 Combo - Top Hat Special Design G12C30's)
