    I've been playing electric since 1995, I still use the ones in bold. Would love to sell the blackstar but they go for peanuts. Currently in use as a coffee table.

    Brunetti Singleman 35 (would love the head too)
    Brunetti Pleximan head
    Laney Cub12
    Blackstar HT40
    Fender Supersonic 22 (loved it for the sound, hated the background noise)
    Fargen Townhouse 20
    Vox VT20+
    Marshall 30th Anniversary head (blue one)
    Peavey Bandit 112s

    Between the Brunettis and the Laney I have everything covered.

    Started and learnt on a borrowed small Marshall tube amp from the 80s. Dunno what kind - it had a basketweave front and probably a 10" speaker. Would be interested to know, but not an idea.

    Gave that back, then bought a 15W Vox Pathfinder as it was all I could afford back then. Did the job, but was only ever a stepping stone

    Cornell Romany Plus from about 2007 onwards. I've a very early model.

    Thats it!

    Pro Juniors are great. Was very impressed with one I played a couple of times in the shop recently.

    Blimey! Some of you must live in amplifier shops. However, like Gilbert and Sullivan's Lord High Executioner, I've got a little list...

    Marshall 50W combo of some sort - no idea what now but should have kept it.

    A brace of Roland Cubes. Good for cleans but got a bit 'fizzy' on the more extreme settings.

    Orange CR60C - everything you need and nothing you don't.

    Boss Katana 50 - brilliant amp for £170. Sadly the effects don't live up to the hype - sounds better with actual real-life pedals.

    ...and that's it.


    I play guitar because I enjoy it rather than because I’m any good at it

    I got my first electric in 1986, I think. Might have been 87. 

    Badger (?) practice amp. Some cheap solid state catalogue thing.
    Peavey Bandit (these kept blowing up, I think I had 3, and I swear I wasn't abusing them)
    Fender Studio 85 -- which, ironically, did quite a good hair metal sound, and was reliable
    Marshall JCM900 100W 1x12 Dual Reverb
    ---
    long hiatus with no amp just playing with headphones
    ---
    Laney Linebacker 30 -- which I picked up and used for a 'pit' gig (Threepenny Opera). Sounded pretty good as a warm clean amp.
    --
    50 watt plexi head (1967 Park -- which I'd had for 20 years but which wasn't working and I finally got fixed. I still have this but rarely use it, although it sounds great.I should really move it on and replace with a Princeton or something.)
    Yamaha THR10

    Woolies Audition practice amp
    WEM Dominator MkIII
    Music Man 65 watt 4x10 combo

    Mesa Boogie Simulclass MkIII combo
    Mesa Subway Rocket Reverb
    Bad Cat Cub IIIR
    Mesa Lone Star Special
    Blackstar HT1R combo

    I still own the last two....
    Just to up date this, I no longer own the last two - both replaced with an early 80s Musicman RD50, fitted with a Jensen Tornado neo speaker. A small, light-weight and great sounding amp. I’m clearly revisiting my youth....

    Well, I started playing guitar in 1991 and my first year or so was spent playing acoustic. My first amp and electric I bought at the same time from musical exchanges in Birmingham were my trusty Ibanez rg550 and peavey bandit. I had the model with the spikey peavey logo and the turquoise control panel. It also had a scorpion speaker in it. Loved that amp!
    Since then I've had a steady list of amps. These are the ones I remember. In rough order of owning them.

    Marshall valvestate 8100 head into Marshall 4x12 cab. Think it was a 1960a.
    Marshall 8020 combo.
    Marshall jcm800 100w 2203 head that had been modded with an effect loop. Can't remember the year but it was an early 80's model. 
    Marshall tsl100
    Marshall dsl50
    Started using a Marshall 1960c 4x12. Preferred the warmer sound with the greenbacks.
    Marshall vintage modern 2266
    Marshall jvm 410h
    Blackstar ht5
    Egnater rebel 30 mki
    Egnater tweaker 15 head
    Marshall sl5
    Hughes and Kettner tubemeister 18
    Yamaha thr5
    Yamaha thr10
    Orange or15
    Blackstar Id beam
    Badcat hotcat 30r head with matching 2x12 cab 
    Badcat bobcat 5r, was faulty and had been discontinued. Exchanged it for a fender princeton custom 68' 
    Egnater rebel 20mkii
    Cornford carrera

    I think that's all of them. 
    The only amp I have left is my badcat. It's the best amp I've ever owned. It's the 2014 version just before the k master came in. 
    I also have the blsckstar Id beam which I use at home when I'm practicing. 
    I do miss some of the others. Wish I still had the jcm800. Should never have sold it. Was too loud for today's playing though.
    I miss my vintage modern. Loved that amp although it had it's downsides. Can't be arsed with 4x12 cabs anymore and I only like mashalls into a 4x12.

    I've also had a line 6 helix. With the view to using at home and possibly gigging. But couldn't get on with it at all. Prefer amps!

    In my future I'd quite like another badcat head. Possibly the black cat or a cub 4.

    I've also got a thing for two rocks at the minute. The traditional clean. But to be honest I think they are a bit too expensive.

    I'm also gassing for an amp off Chris from Rift amps.
    Maybe a pr18, pr6 or deluxe 22. Something along those lines.

    interesting that a lot of guys have cycled through lower priced amps, I wonder if your guitars show the same cycle.

    Anyway I haven't bought an amp for 12 years.....
