    Apart from hardwood cab Mark series Boogies, are any amps actually ‘pretty’?

    I guess these must sound pretty decent, but they look like a kitchen appliance from Fritz Lang’s Metropolis (1927).

    Probably a right fingerprint magnet as well.
    That’s a great description (Fritz lang)

    Lots, like my Carr Mercury V or an Emery superbaby, or a purple SLO100 stack. But this isn't a thread about pretty amps :)

    My wife says she hates them all, they’re all ugly looking boxes, awfully big and disgusting BUT NOT HER CARPETED DRUM MONITOR, that one is sleek and cute and whatnot.

    I thought that looked great until I saw the shape of the grille clearly, and then it looked borderline ugly.

    Haha, snap! Our living room has a pair of those for her e-drum kit, I've had to put my Marshall 2x12 on its side to hide them.
