i actually prefer my 5e3 with a celestion g12h-30, sounds fantastic

Not surprised. I’ve tried a fair amount of speakers. Other people make Brit speakers sound great (eg the Edge) but it just doesn’t work for me. I bet you sound great through the g12h-30

I currently have a Maverick but my fave is probably the cannabis rex that I swap in every now and then. I’m happy with more traditional ones, but always American.

i have both those, the mav and crex. i prefer the crex in my old deluxe reverb. i like the mavericks ability to adjust volume but i like the tone of the crex and g12h better

Though I had said a Marshall early on in this thread, it would probably end up being an EVH 5150 III 50 watt head / 2x12 setup.

Do you have the recent Stealth amp or the regular ones?

Neither. But if I could get one, I would, but an EL34 head. The closest I have is the 5150 Overdrive which is essentially the blue channel of the amp.

Fender Super Sonic. A clean channel built like a Deluxe Reverb and an amazing gain channel so no need for overdrive pedals. And Fender’s classic spring reverb. 22 watts and 1x12 just like a DR.

Wouldn’t you want a Bogner amp?

Tough between SLO or BE-100 both are great sounding…..

I've always been intrigued by it but I read mixed reviews in terms of reliability so I never pulled the trigger. Do you own one?

Lol

Except it’s not an amp and it’s not one sound

 

[David Garner]

Couldn’t do it. If I had to, it’s the Cutthroat Audio Down Brownie. But I’d probably actually choose the 5150 iii 50w if I could only have one. It doesn’t do what the Brownie does nearly as well, but it does so much more I’d have to take it for the versatility alone.

I’m glad I don’t have to do that though.

For the last 10 years I've used my JTM45 as the base for my tone, utilising pedals. I'd probably go for something like a Marshall Vintage Modern to be able to get the 'higher' gain tones I need, and just work the guitar's volume more than usual.

A VOX AC-30TB definitely…

I mean, provided I was able to open the amplifier up as loud as I wanted in this hypothetical world anyway???
