Nothing fancy.
'67 Deluxe Reverb.

Takes pedals well and sounds good on its own.

I am blessed with a nice little collection.

In no particular order:

'67 JTM 45 MKIV (like a Bluesbreaker in head cab) with a 1974 vintage Marshall 4 x 12" - transition speakers
'65 Deluxe Reverb - '69 Jensen C12N - the Oxford SUCKED!- sounds great through the Marshall 4 x 12"
'56 5E3 - any speaker suggestions are appreciated!
'60 5F11 - Weber Chicago 10" in there rite now......
'63 Gibson Falcon GA-19RVT - original Jensen 12" C12QorR?

Of course, none are new "production" amps.

at the moment the amps are

Risson LTA 120 matching 4x12 with emminance square backs
Sunn model T matching 4x12 with G12-75
Sound City 120R on a rivera 4x12 cab 2-35 / 2-75
Soldano Decatone 2x12 combo
Orange Graphic 80 with matching 6 x 12

lately I've been playing a lot on the 60's mosrite with the orange seasoned w/ soviet big muff, arbitor fuzzface, morley evo and a silly ibanez flying pan.
or my main go to les paul standard with the risson and sunn wet in hard panning stereo with the soldano in the middle dry but it's alot less musicain and more dance just to switch with all the buttons. just cool full power chords!

I am an avowed amp slut. Making em is my week-kneed attempt at therapy.

Harry Joyce Custom 30
K&M (Two Rock) Custom Prototype #4
Fargan Bordeaux 2x12 Combo (EL34 version)
Matamp GT1
Matchless Clubman 35 Reverb
Dabeck Dual Custom (Plexi/JCM800)
RockyTop 45/50H (JTM45-inspired)
Egnater Rebel 20
Hall Amplification Lil' Rebel
71 Traynor YBA-1

Try to rotate through them on a regular basis, although haven't played a couple in over a year. Oddly enough, the Rebel 20 gets the most action. Lot of fun in a little package.

Man, you guys have some nice gear!

I have a Carvin Belair I don't use much anymore. The clean channel is pretty nice but the OD channels is mud.

A Marshall Valvestate 50 and slant cab.

A Peavey Century multipurpose amp and a VOX 2 x 12 cab.

'68 Super Reverb
'68 Traynor YBA-1
'83 Hiwatt Lead 100
Lab Series L5 combo (yeah, I'm a King's X fanatic)

I've got the Hiwatt biased for some JJ 6V6's per Mark Huss's suggestion, and it's sounding really nice (and I can crank it without the house falling down)

Well I still don't have any amps that are my builds but here's the stuff I use.

Orange OR 120 -> old Marshall 4x12 (with the band)
Soldano Astroverb 16 (living room)
Modded Valve Jr combo (office)
Ceriatone Liverpull -> Soldano 2x12 (basement)

I have lots of other amps but they all stay at my buddy's studio.

All home grown at this point.

I had to sell my Dr. Z Z28.

I've still got a Fender Blues Jr. that I use as a speaker cab, though.
