What amp?

I’ve been fortunate enough to have friends who have been dealers or collectors for most of the amps I’ve wanted to try.

The biggest things I’ve not spent a lot time with are some old Fender tweeds and brownface amps. I’d also like to try a HiWatt 100 watter (not sure of the model names). And surprisingly enough, I’ve not had the chance to try a Marshall Silver Jubilee.
 
For some reason, amps don't interest me as much as pedals and guitars. I get a good clean sound with reverb and I am happy.

More or less agreed. I don't have a wide range of experience in amps, and I'm sure there are amps out there that would blow me away, but I'm pretty happy with the tones I can get from my Boss Katana. Clean with reverb, clean with chorus/delay, and metal are pretty much all I need. And the Boss, being a modeling amp, lets me dial in just about any tone I want anyhow.
 
I mean, there are really great clean amps out there that are wonderful, like Carr and Swart. They are expensive Fender-style amps that would be awesome to own. But certainly not necessary. Recently I got a Tone Master Deluxe Reverb which works just fine for me. And it weighs just over 20lbs.

Come to think of it...I’d also like to try one of those corn ford amps from a few years ago.

Friedman amps definitely. Theyre the best sounding models I've tried so I'd really want to know what they sound like for real.
 
A few that come to mind:

1. A vintage Soldano SLO100 head. Because....
2. A Mesa Boogie MK V Combo
3. A Marshall JCM900 SL-X (While I believe this to be my goto Marhshall, and have heard them, I never actually plugged into one!)
4. A Trainwreck

Oh damn, forgot about Trainwreck -that would be on mine -Ken FIscher and then Aspen Pittman had more influence on my interest in amps than anyone else growing up -except my father.
 
I have essentially a '68 50W Plexi, '66 Blackface Deluxe, Rockman Rockmodules, ADA MP-1, so have that covered.

I've had Marshall JTM45 (reissue - I modded to the Plexi above), 2205, 2210, 1959S (1st reissue for Marshall)

I would like to try:

VOX AC30 Top Boost (original 60's)
Marshall 2203 (original 70's)
Marshal 1958 (original 60's)
Fender Tweed Deluxe (original 50's)
Mesa Boogie Mk IIc+ (original 80's)
Mesa Boogie Mk III Coliseum (original 80's)
HIWATT DR103 (original 70's)
Laney Supergroup Mk I 100W (original 60's)
