hughes and kettner triamp... simply because it can do everything, and it does it all beautifully.

some people buy this amp for it's cleans alone, others for the awesome high gain tones, ect... sweet amp.

other than that maybe a bogner xtc, ENGL SE, or a deizel herbert.

and if rack shit counts, and ENGL e580 with a mesa 395 poweramp would also be tits..

I would simply have every modification possible done to my 5150 II. Modifications totalling upwards of 1,500$, I would'nt care. Having Trace from VooDoo amplifiers modify it would be something to hear.

Get a new head then.. I hate what Trace does.. he takes an amp.. rips everythign out, and then gives you back a new amp, which happens to be a Voodoo amp. Not much of a mod if you ask me, mods shouldnt change the overall voicing of an amp.

Anyways, Id get a custom head made.

But we have all the money in the world to work with ...

Trace just removes the innards and rebuilds it? Why does'nt he just manufacture completed amplifiers?

Its if you had all the money in the world.. money would be no object. Reading the first post of a thread is usually a good idea.

No lol, but he mods it to such an extreme that it dosent even sound like the amp anymore. If an amp needs that much modding than why wouldnt you just buy a new amp? Know what im saying?
