What's the best amp you've played ?

[3fingers]

Toin, I gotta agree on the Scott Lerner tone! It's pretty amazing. If you check his website, he seems to have been selected to demo the Fuch's stuff at a NAMM show.
But that's a different thread entirely. BTW, he has posted here. Check for his name ScottL and check his radio button.

The Traynor All Tube Amps... 80 Watts of power for 900 Bucks then the Cabinet beside it costs about 200-300 bucks... Besides that I enjoy my Roland Cube 30 i Have and my friend has a pretty sweet amp (Marshall AVT-175)

Best amp I ever played through was without a doubt a Mesa Boogie Quad preamp with a Simul 295 power amp into two 4x12's. The quad had 4 channels....you could get any tone out of it. The power amp was killer cause you could run either 30 watts or 95 watts per side, totally switchable. It used el34's for the 30 watt and 6l6's combined with the el34's for the 95 watt. Old school mesas rock

I recently played a mesa triple rectifier and loved it.

I use a Marshall AVT 50 Watt Head with a 4X12 cabinet. I do use a 1960's Marshall cabinet and get a much tighter sound. I also use a Peavey 1x12 Cabinet that does give me a great tone out of the AVT head. Its much cleaner on the clean side.

I use the Boss ME-50 floorpedal and get some good variations on tone and levels. I do like alot the Triple Recto soak. I have found that gain is a dangerous thing and that you need to pull back on it more than you think.

Have fun!!

Hello man, for a pre-amp I have the Digitech 2120 artist pre-amp. Change out the two 12ax7's with some real nice boutique tube aka. phillps or r.c.a if you can find any and get a good poweramp.....aka..pitbull--mesa...and you have tone for years and eons............hope this helps!!!

I've Got A BAD BOY amp! This thing is sooo awesome! It is so rockin' I Feel like I'm on fire when I'm playing! (evan If i don't know the song!) you don't even have to be good for it to sound good!

Well, if any of you have been reading the forums either here or in guitarvoice.com, then you probably ahve heard me RAVE AND RANT about how awesome the CyberTwin SE is - I won't bore you with any long winded details, but it IS an awesome freekin amp. It's a hybrid modeling amp (aka tube / solid state) but DAMN it sounds good. And I have played on Marshalls for YEARS, and I still think this thing just rox the damn house! I have done a few backing tracks using the Cyber Twin and my Strat - click below to hear some samples of how it sounds.

There are two amps I've played through in my life that absolutely killed.

1) An old original Fender Super Reverb that was the house amp at a theater gig I worked for a year. That thing SMOKED! I offered double what it was worth to buy it, and they refused.....

2) My wife's cousin's original 100W Plexi. It's got a soul of it's own - I kid you not. He won't sell it, either.....dammit.

...but, this one goes to eleven.....

The best amp I've ever played thru was a 69 plexi Marshall that was rewired(rebuilt) & a Vox AC30 also rebuild by amp guru "Solder Haus" brent-he knows his stuff & did a Marshall for Randy hansen. check out Solder Haus thru: KR Musical Products in the links section.
