If you could have any amp, what would you choose? With so many great amps out there how many of us would be happy with just one?
What is your "holy grail" amp?

Re: What is your "holy grail" amp?
I have absolutely no idea. I like a lot of amps, and to me they are just another *loud/fun* tool. I guess I would like to have a SLO-100/6505+/Laney 120 Ironheart/Bogner Shiva or something.

Something from Bruce Zinky. I currently own a 25 watt Blue Velvet so ether a Mofo or Superfly head.
This is why i LOVE Bruces stuff SO much NOTHING responds to touch like a Zinky NOTHING!
Had a one off 120 watt Prosonic head Bruce hand built while at Fender and gave to Brad Whitford at one time what a BEAST that head was!!
Nothing comes close to a Zinky for me!

I had a 50 watt head with a rect series 2x12, and I can confirm that this amp is just as awesome as everyone thinks it is. I'd never get a Marshall, just because the Stiletto ace exists.
But, for me, that was another era of tone searching. These days, I'd have to say my ideal would either be a Mesa Lonestar, or even more so, a Dr.Z Max 18. Man, I'd kill for one of those in red......

I don't know why you'd say this...
When you could have one of these. I think I like the Soldano voicing more than any other amplifier manufacturer.

Re: What is your "holy grail" amp?
I'd need a high end music store filled with every amp to be happy. So far the closest I've found to make me happy is the EVH 5150 50 watt since it's giving me Fender, Marshall and Soldano tones.
I like the Splawn Super Sport too, I'd have to try that back to back with the EVH since they're very similar
