I would probably want whatever amp could get me the sound of Godsmack’s first album, or Fuel’s second album, or just something like a hot-rodded Marshall tone.
Lack of fuzz, wah, whammy, or solo boost might make life less exciting.

What is it for you. In this case, channel switching is irrelevant. Master volume or no master volume is irrelevant. 50 or 100 watts, irrelevant. I know every detail accounts for the sound but et's just stick with the amp for this scenario.
So I dunno, from what I've played so far, probably a JVM410H with a 2x12 closed back and few spare speakers. Am I in breach or not?

I had used a Dirty Shirley when they first came out, and it was exceptional. I can see that happening.

This question bothers me.
I can get my sound pretty much with any amp and a Boss SD-1.
But I'm not allowed to use a pedal.
So it needs to be an amp with an extra gain stage and flexible EQ.
Without the SD-1, I think the best for me would be a Peavey JSX. I loved that amp until I realized I could get that sound from pretty much any amp by using an SD-1 pedal.
