Or maybe
Now it's just a Helix LT into an HRD IV and it's probably the best sound and easiest set up I've ever had.
I know I'm a philistine but it works for me in a live band context.
- Carr Rambler
- Z-Wreck
- Gartone 5E3
These three are by far the best I've played, both in harmonic content and touch response. As I said before, I'd order an amp from Gartone without hesitation.

But the MJW I had was even better (the brief was "zingy like the Matchless I tried"), and sparkly blue.

All made me smile a lot and if I was a collector, would all still be with me. Only 1 remains.

Either: you made a custom cable or splitter box to connect them in series and set the amp to 8 ohms.
Or: you just plugged them in and cranked it up, what is this impedance thing anyway?

iirc (it was a long time ago) it was running through a Marshall 4x12 cab and sounded glorious - way better than the Valvestates that most rehearsal rooms had.
My old Fender Twin. It was a red knob with a speaker change and decent valves. Sounded absolutely sublime.
My current amp. Positive Grid Spark mini. I kid you not. I’m absolutely in shock at how good it is. Any tone in my head that I’ve always strived for is in there somewhere. It might not be a Lazy J but my GOD it’s good.
1. mid 60s grey panel AC30 top boost (long gone)
2. Recently acquired ‘78 Deluxe Reverb. This one has a particularly nice spring tank. So much so that my tech who gave it a once over recorded an IR of the reverb and he already has a ‘69 of his own.
3. Still love my 18 watt handwired mini Bluesbreaker Marshall.
4. I’m rather fond of a late 70s Park 20 watt combo. It’s unusual - the controls are backwards facing like the earlier Fenders. It is similar to a Marshall 20 Lead/Bass (???) from the same era but not a rebadged model like some Parks are. EL84s. Had it flat out through an attenuator and it is quite something.
