Surely you'd want the loudest one? Perhaps the Marshall Mode 4? That'd get you noticed.

Or maybe one with a well made cabinet, to row off in? In that case, maybe an Orange would do... :cool:
 
Gotta go with the Mark IV. On a desert island I'm gonna need some serious versatlity....how about a Road King? :)

Marshall JCM800, but what about replacement tubes ? So Il stick with my Marshall MG100HDFX 1/2 stack, anyboby got a generator and gas ?
 
you know what, why does it matter, if you're deserted on an island, you prolly won't have any electricity anyway, so all you could do is look at how pretty the thing is. ;)
 
I would have to go for the Mesa. I need a fair bit of gain and fatness, and i think it would provide pretty well for me!

although given the choice it would prbably be an Orange AD140 TC. It would attract rescuer's attention with its bright colours and extreme volume.
 
On your list, I'd probably go for the Dumble.....why not?

However, if I lost everything in my life, I'd still own my Ecstasy.
That will be the last thing I'll ever sell, so that would definitely
be my desert island amp.

If it were Gilligan's Island, I'd kill everyone except for
Marianne, Ginger, and the Professor. The Professor
would be locked in a cage, and live his life with a sole
purpose of repairing my gear.

Sounds pretty nice, actually! When do I leave?
 
i voted for the mesa boogie mk iv ... i figure that i aint goin anywhere for a while so i'd be able to find out exactly what all those knobs and switches can really do
 
I would take my DSL because i am really happy with it right now. I have my perfect tone with it. But since its not up there, i would take the 2204.
 
i'd take the mark IV. i'd then carve large holes out of a mountain and install the amp to fit nicely in there.:D

thats gotta be the perfect amp.:cool:
 
A tweed Deluxe is my fave amp, but I'd grow tired of it on a desert island. I don't especially care for Mesas, but a Mk IV long chassis head would be the ticket for extended-stay situations. Lotta tones in those things.
