Thanks for the suggestions so far guys! I hope this doesn't get mistaken as yet another favorite amp thread. I just wanted to see some discussion as far as amps with a great, memorable, undeniable character of life behind them... like an amp you don't want to stop playing on, or in the words of a great pianist "it will sing back to you."

Gear-wise, and sound-wise, I have a Bogner Ecstacy 101a half stack, Mesa Mark IV Combo, Ampeg Super Rocket 212rt, and Seymour Duncan Convertible 100 combo to choose from. They are all great tube amps with pretty good cleans, damn good crunch, and can do the heavy thing OK. This Hot Rod that I was looking at seemed pretty cool and is offered at a good price (not to mention that I'm a sucker for pretty amps, and the white limited edition is REAL pretty). Since I'm not too into heavy buzzsaw sounds (I'd get a Deizel or Rectumfrier for that), I'm just looking at something for a good clean and soft crunch, both with a great character to the sound. I tend to collect amps like most people collect guitars and micophones.

But don't limit your ideas to just what I'm looking for, instead be style un-specific and pull out all the stops... I wanna hear amps that send chills down your spine!
