Name Your 3 Favorite Amps

Cool responses, I initially thought most of us would be pro Gallien Krueger.
GK has plenty of users on here, but obviously the numbers dictate that most people on here will use something else. You can say that about any brand, too. Too many different brands and too many players with different tastes.

Anyway,

1. Ampeg B-15
2. Ampeg V4B
3. Ampeg SVT

Very honorable mention for the new Ampeg P-50T as well but you asked for only 3.
 
I used a Sunn Model T that just KILLED live....so, that one. My old acoustic 360 was extra brutal(if you could get far enough away from it!)so, that one...and dream of all dream amps the Fender Super Bassman(I did own the 2000-ish one and IT was amazing), the newer features make it appear perfect for me. PLAY LOUD!!!

Been using a markbass cmd121p combo for about 5 years now. I replaced the head unit with a little mark 800 tube unit,even better.
I just bought a tech 21 Vt 500 amp,waiting to see if it's gonna be my new favorite.
I've used Sunn,Ampeg,G-K,Mesa Boogie,Hartke,Fender,Music Man,tech 21,Yorkville,and even Peavey over the years.
I've gotten to play through borrowed Orange,trace eliot,and ashdown rigs,too.
I would really like to try a Marshall rig out one day....
