If you could only own one amp

The cab is easy: my composite Crazy 88. The amp would be my Genz Benz Shuttle 6.2.
The 88 has a very small footprint and its light weight and side handle make it really easy to carry. Great for home/living room practices (which is where most of my playing is done, now). Loud enough to practice with a five piece band with a drummer and works just fine as a stage monitor with PA support.

The Shuttle 6.2 will handle anything I do and has all the features I need. The single pre-amp tube gives it just enough warmth for my liking and the preset tone/contour buttons get me where I like to be real quick. I love this amp.
