There are probably more... and that isn't in any order, just as I remembered them.
But now I have extreme gas for a Matchless following the FB Jam.
Fast forward 35 years or so and started playing again.

About this time started to get interested in gigging hence

Just about the same time I saw Matt Schofield for the first time and then second time he'd got a TR and I started to read up about the heritage, the Dumble cloning thing was just kicking off. And I found Ceriatone. As a primer I started with ;-

It seems like overkill but then you are the guy running two Dual Rectifiers, are you not?
Just the Peavey Special now… although it's arguable that it's capable of about the same clean volume .

The only amp I've ever owned that I haven't also owned at least TWICE, is the Marshall JVMJS. Every other amp I've had, I've sold and rebought and sold again! lol.
I have been thinking about getting a collection of amps again- a few Marshalls and Fenders, a Dual Rec, a Mark 1- 'the recording staples'.

Then:
1971 Marshall JMP 50 (1987) head with Marshall 4x12 cab
HH IC100 - sold it.
Blackstar ID 60 - sold it
Fender Mustang 40 watt practice amp
Vox AC 30 CC2X.
Sold the Marshall and cab, still got the AC30 as main amp and the Fender as practice amp.
I have no desire to change the AC30 atm.
Marshall 2555 and 4x12
THD Univalve and Laney 2x12
Fender HRD
Blackstar Artisan 15 and 2x12"
Park G25R - first amp and practice tool.
Marshall G100 and 4x12 - I think it was a G100, definitely the predecessor to the MG stuff. I was a teenager and wanted a Marshall stack.
Laney TF200 - I heard these things called valves apparently made a nice amp sound, foolishly believed this to be one of those amps.
Marshall JTM60 and matching 4x10 - not the greatest on reliability but did one sound nicely and was my first intro to valve amps.
Randall RH50 and matching 2x12 - surprisingly versatile and nice setup on a budget.
Ashdown Peacemaker 40 - a turd. And a very hot turd on that when the valves somehow welded themselves into place and couldn't be replaced.
Carvin Vintage Tube 33 - much underrated and bargainous amp that survived the first year of university with me.
Orange Tiny Terror and 1x12 (the very first shipment into the country, with the 1x12 loaded with a G12-100 rather than a V39). Bought to be more practical for gigging and getting friends to assist with loading and unloading.
Framus Dragon - bought because the Tiny Terror didn't do loud brutalz..... However, 3 channels and too many switches for ultimately limited tonal versatility. Gigged it one night and the guitarist from the band on before me managed to "accidently" knock all of the settings on the amp, couldn't reset it in time or live whilst on stage so it had to go.
Vox AC30CC2X (with alnico blues) - saved from Neville Marten's shed as the tremolo wasn't always working and he was happy with the Matchless rig.
Soldano Hot Rod 50 from '92 - traded the Framus for this, couldn't be happier about that. Still have it and won't get rid of it.
Mesa Express 5:25 - a nice amp but I wasn't gigging at the time and didn't like that I couldn't switch between the 2 OD modes via the footswitch.
RDA Custom Built Dumble/Soldano blend - a great amp but what I wanted tonally required too many switches and buttons for me.
Hughes Kettner Switchblade 100 - bought for dive bar gigs and covers band flexibility to avoid having to carry a pedalboard. Got rid of it after hearing a gig recording and how bad it sounded with my Anderson Hollow Drop Top.
Blackstar HT50 - not strictly mine but this was also a turd.
Fender Silverface Pro Reverb from '73 - glorious and weighty beast.
Marshall 1987x - no comment needed.
Jet City 100HDM - owned for about a day before being returned.
Jet City JCA50H - modded the bright cap and gigged it happily for a long time.
RDA Dualist
Cornford Harlequin - for practice, recording and small gigs.
The Soldano and Cornford have survived. All others have gone and I'm sure there are others I'm missing and forgetting about.
