Name Your 3 Favorite Amps

#81
Ampeg B-15N (just a classic in sound and looks)
Ampeg V4B (thump and growl, loved it)

An someday when I'm old, have a little bit of extra income, and "she who must be obeyed" doesn't mind, (wait, nope, only two out of three, dang) I would like to pick up either an Acoustic 360/361 or Ampeg SVT, and 8X10. Set it up on my back porch (we overlook a small valley in the SF Bay Area), set the volume and master to "11", and early one morning play for any and all, "The Bass Solo." Keep the groove.

Cool responses, I initially thought most of us would be pro Gallien Krueger.

I have interest in GK, just not enough to order one and hope for the best. I've seen only one new around here (last week) and it was the GK ummm....212 combo (forgot the name of it already) for $799.00. The used stuff I've seen looked like it was stored in a barn and even those are few and far between.....

Sunn 2000s - my favorite amp. It will go to the grave with me.

SVT- I've never owned one but have played with them a few times. They just always sound good. I want to dislike them but can't. I do have an SVP CL that is a close tie for 3rd.

Eden WT550 - number 3 is a tough call. I've owned a decent number of amps and currently have a pretty awesome collection. I like all of my current amps(named on this list and some that aren't) more than the Eden however, this amp had my favorite preamp. If Eden were to build an amp running this preamp into a 300-400w tube power section it would be an end all be all type amp for me.

True, I have seen some that looked like they had been in a dust storm.
