that being said, the amps that made me smile the most was an EVH 5150iii 50W and a JCM800
The 5150 was an early one without the stacked gain and volume controls. That stupidity was the reason I sold it, but it did make me smile a lot.
As for an 800 - it's just a perfect amp. Nothing does what it does and it doesn't pretend to do much else either.

Lower wattage amps
Ceriatone OTS 20 mini - beautiful clean and very smooth and nice OD channel.
Ceriatone 5E3 combo - my first tweed experience, stuck a boost up front and now I love pushing this.
Ceriatone (yer I have a Ceriatone thing) Expression Trainwreck - rock monster but very dynamic with the guitar's controls.
I've only ever tried/owned one 100watter which is a Peavey Classic 100 head and 4x10 matching cab. This really is special and I love how much air this moves. I don't really need 100 watts but I can't bare to let go of it.
- Redplate CDS2/ Redplate Blackverb - Id def own one again, the CDS2 is probably my fave amp ever (when they work...)
- Mesa Snake King (rather loud though)
- Milkman Creamer 20w - the one sound still haunts me.
- Carr Rambler - huge Carr fan, and pre-Two Rock, my fave clean amp ever.
- Two Rock Studio Signature - absolutely mind blowing live; currently own one.
- Lazy J10 LC - currently own.
- Boss Dual Cube - currently own.
- Bartel Starwood - Everyone should experience playing one of these...

"If it smells like shit...It is probably shit"
There's just nothing like them, and they feel fantastic to play. The new Bad Cats are nothing like the originals, sadly.
After that, my old '68 Twin was an amazing amp.
Gartone Bluesman
Carr Lincoln ( just the sweetest Voxy clean and a whole lot of Brian May when driven hard ) Incredible Amp and the favourite choice of Joe Gore ,the Tone fiend

I loved the MK4 boogie with EV ...I don't use it much now
Next up was a Redplate CDS2 ...great amp
I'm sort of going between my Omega modded hotrod deluxe ...RDA Dualist and Redplate Astrodust all really nice amps ....got to say I used the Astrodust at rehearsal last week and the sound was exceptional ...on cleans and the drives equally ....I have been using a joyo American in the front just as a EQ not sure iff I need it or not though yet

Oddly enough the finest live sounds/tones I have heard have all been guitarists playing HRD's (I presume all hired), so I have a suspicion a truly exceptional amp isn't as important as the guitarist.
It’s true that the combos are extremely heavy (and one of the reasons I moved mine on) but get yourself a head and cab and you’re well away.
And my 1967 super reverb sold on here.
These aren't well built, they're obsessive. They're inspiring and the more you own one, the more tones and settings you discover. For an incredibly simple single channel amp, it's insane.
I've had all number of high end amps, it's just the very best.
