Yeah, I know there is an AMP section here somewhere, but UITA's "other guitar" thread got me thinking about amps... and being I am sitting here staring at mine as I watch the Colts whip up on the Giants :)(), i figured I would pop a picture of them, and see what else everyone has.
I am no collector or brand snob by any means... I just look for fairly cheap, low watt, tone machines.

I've gone through some nice pretty vintage Fenders in the past, and a couple of Marshalls, but right now I am very happy with these...

'64-65 Epiphone Pacemaker 8-10 watts

1959 Silvertone 1431 5 watts incredible little amp

mid-60's Silvertone 1472 2 channel 10 watts still working on it... hopefully turns out to be as nice tonewise as the 1431

1965 Ampeg Jet (pride of NJ!) 15 watt beast. great tremolo, my main gig amp

hidden away in the basement is my 1965 Ampeg Gemini, 30 watt moster. NEver gets played, just way too loud.

I play a VOX VT50, but am really considering an Epi Valve Standard... it'll be my first tuber.

I have a few:

Mesa Boogie Mk V head and 2x12 cab
Ceriatone Plexi 50 head w Marshall 1960a cab
Fender Deluxe VM 1x12 combo
Egnater Rebel 20 and matching 1x12 cab
Line6 Flextone II and matching 1x12 ext cab.

I also had a Fender SuperSonic head and 2x12, but traded them in on the Mesa.

The Mk V is only a couple of weeks old, so it's what I've been using most. If I'm not using that, I'll use the little Fender - they're the two most versatile tube amps I own. I might use the 4x12 with either of them, if it's not a one-nighter.

The Ceriatone does the Marshall Plexi thing very well, and the Egnater is great, but both are one-trick (at a time) ponies. I'll use them with the Marshall 4x12 when on "rock gigs" where I don't have to be sonically all over the map. I've found the Egnater 1x12 is pretty nasty sounding, so I hardly ever use it.

The Line6 doesn't get used much anymore, but it comes in handy as something I can leave at a rehearsal hall and not worry about. Once it's dialled in right, it sounds OK I guess, just not as good as a real tube amp. But you never know - it might make it back onto the live rotation someday...

Fender Blues Deville Reissue 410
Marshall JTM60 212
Orange OR120 (occasionally when I can borrow a cab)

My main amp at the moment is the Deville just because of the cleans (+ takes pedals really well). I really want to try a Valve Senior though as it looks interesting and affordable, plus my other amps are too loud for home use.

Most of the time, my Marshall MG 30. The MGs catch alot of criticism I know. But I am a hobbyist with the guitar, and this amp suits my needs. On the clean channel with a bit of the on board Chorus, and my MXR Classic Distortion pedal, its an amazing tone, to my ears.

I also have one of the early version Epiphone Valve Junior combos. Changed the tubes to JJ's, upgraded speaker to Jensen, and changed the input jack....outstanding little amp.

1967 Fender Deluxe Reverb with matching extension cabinet. Weber AlNiCo speakers; 12A125A x2. Easily dominates any drummer, and the sound coming off this thing is absolutely heavenly. This is the amp I'll be using until I die. :D

Primarily this 1997 Marshall VS100

as a full stack or as a 1/2 stack

normally I don't stack the cabs, so I have two slants that I set side by side with the head straddling them.
