I can't really say "this amp is my favorite" because I haven't tried that many. I've owned several Marshalls, 50w Head, 100w Head... both sounded all right, mainly just loud. A very long time ago I borrowed a Fender Princeton that I loved... wish the owner would have sold it to me. Also tried a real Hiwatt in the music store way back that sounded great. If I had a time machine I'd definitely grab that one.

I bought a Laney Lionheart and I really like it. Its spot on for the type of tone I'm looking for. One thing I like about the Laney is that its made in Britain, and oozes build quality. Before purchasing it I checked out the Fender Princeton re-issue... made in China, didn't sound good at all, and was the same price as the Lionheart.

Its great to read about what people like, have, or have on their wish list. With so many choices out there its good to get ideas of what some of the better amps are.
