Yeah, my 150R is a pretty sweet sounding amp.

Unless I've missed one, every Traynor that's been mentioned in this thread has been out of production for decades.

I like Peavey Bandit and Fender FM100. Both is loud enough and has decent mid gain sounds.

Oh and i used to have a Marshall Mosfet Lead 100 head that ruled!
Used it mostly on bass blasting it with two pedals that had metal in the name.

Vox Pathfinder 15r

plenty loud for practice and gigs where your band isnt destroying the place. 15 watts through a decent speaker. reverb is crap, but the trem is great. really nice clean sounds, perfect for pedals, and the overdrive can get downright nasty in a good way.

Fuck yeah. I had a Mark VI as my main amp for almost 10 years. It's fucking awesome. Tons of eq options, can do 2 ohms, has an fx loop, has a crossover, and it has a really weird and gnarly break-up when you crank it.

That is my backup amp. THAT CIRCUIT CHORUS IS GLORIOUS.
good deals are here.
flesh couch is here.

I want to get at least one more Pathfinder for doing stereo stuff. There's also the multi-tap outputs from the Headrush -- that could be awesome spreading the sound out to a room full of amps.
