I own all sorts of amps and there are 3 main ones that have what I call mojo (that something that you cant explain but hell it sounds/feels good when you play through it);

victoria 410 bassman (nothing but pure tone)
victoria tweed champ
77 fender twin reverb

Having said that, it also depends on what guitar you are playing - a 57 goldtop sounds crap on all of these amps - well, maybe not crap, but definately not in the same league as a 52 tele (for example).

I also have mesa, marshall, laney, carvin, but there is definately something about the other 3 that suck you in.

I firmly believe that mojo in an amp is derived from not only the amp, but the matching of the right guitar and amp together.
