Lemme explain this again. It is your favorite brand and model of amp, NOT the amp you own.

Well most people tend to buy amps they like..

makes sense eh??

Im not voting, all amps are different and all have their strength's and weaknesses.

h&k triamp, duotone, and the access preamp... imo the best...
in 2nd would probably be a 4 way tie between the framus cobra, engl savage, engl 580 preamp, and bogner uberschall...
deizel and vht after that...
then i guess the more mainstream stuff like mesa, marshall and peavey....

I wasnt asking about the best amp, just your favorite. C'mon BLS, you have to have a favorite.

favorite brand... definetly Engl for me.

favorite amp, well for versatility and allround kick-assy-ness, the H&K Triamp (MK 1.)

My favorite amp for metal and the likes is definetly the Engl Savage though. the powerball is close second but doesn't quite match up to the savage. I love my savage too

I haven't had the chance to try many of the more boutiqueish brands but of the ones ive tried the 5150, TSL100 and Triple Rectifier are the nicest.

my fave amp company is probly engl, cos there aint been an amp by them which i ve hated and the tone is pretty much supreme to everything else i ve tryed but i also very much like old marshall's eg jcm800/900 and the amp which i own at the moment, a valvestate 8100. Its cheap and sounds killer

those are the working class amps, everyone knows them and everybody uses them. its kinda like mac donalds in america, but you can have an even better burger just around the corner for the same price

yeh, i guess when you put it that way... i play a marshall preamp with a peavey poweramp, and love it... but of all the amps i've played... i'd ditch my jmp-1+classic 50/50 rig in a heartbeat for something like a h&k triamp, framus cobra, ect... just because it's that much more kick ass... though the way things have been lately(no job, and the money i do have is mostly for college and maintaining my van.) it'll be awhile before that happens...
