If you could only own one amp

This wasn’t the point of my thread but were there any votes for one of the new Orange cabinets? I’m thinking of picking up a SVT head and there’s an Orange OBC112 and some Ampeg Portaflex and SVT cabs around here local.

If I could choose only own one amp to own, it would be one that comes with two guys to carry it around.

I have a mesa WD800 with an old aguilar agro, but Im considering to buy a TT800

Love my current rig which is a GK legacy 500 with 2 neo 112-II cabs.

I actually am about to make that happen. I ordered an Orange Bass Terror last month. Unfortunately, they are on back order. Still waiting….

1 amp eh? Well, although I like my Genz Benz and Mesa and GK amps, I'm gonna have to go with my Fender TV15 because it just does what it does so well. They don't make them anymore, it looks cool as all get out and nothing sounds quite like it for the gigs I play these days.

That bass looks cool as all get out, too.

Quilter BB802.
I'm using one already into 4x10 and 1X15. Loud. Good tone.
I'll be buying a second one soon to power similar cab arrangement.
I really like this amp!

Taking into consideration every factor (flexibility for playing at home and gigs, cost, tone, volume, weight, size, etc.) what amp would you own if you could only have one?

I like to keep the amount of gear I have to a minimum. This question came up since I’m branching out into heads, cabs and/or larger combos. I’m wondering what would be the perfect amp to carry around from home to playing with other amplified instruments.

I didn’t want to ask this question just for myself but hope others could chime in on what their idea of a “jack of all trades” amplifier might be.

Looks awesome. I’d love to hear some more details on this amp. GC has a VT12 for sale and I’ve been looking for a tube or hybrid combo/head.

He doesn't review the 12 but it'll give you a clear idea...

It would be this for me: EBMM Stingray - Bugera Veyron BV1001T - Hartke AK410.

I would ideally love to have an Ampeg SVT Classic and 8x10 cab but, no chance!

My Carvin BX1500. Very versatile!

WD800 and a pair of single 12 Subway bins. I'm OUT of the furniture moving business.

I would hate having to own just one amp... I could live with my MAS15/6 ot fEarfuly12;6 or Avatar nEarful sb-126 but..

• GK 700 RB-II is there a bad sound in there?
• Mesa D-800+ awesome and one of the bst DI's ever
• Eden Navigator (QSC power) totally colored and electric and exciting
• Custom clone of a Showman Amp Normal Channel and Jay Ganz power - can't do without my Chris Hillman fix..

Can we just shoot whoever made this stupid 1 amp rule ?
