The one that will take pretty much anything you throw at it.

So far for me:
- JCM800 2204 (low input)
- Carr Slant 6V (clean channel)

Currently trying NMV Marshall-style amps

Music Man HD-130. It stays clean forever. Takes the pedals into a 4x12 beautifully. I'd like to put together a 2x15 with Eminence something-or-others in it and get lower. Has cool reverb and vibrato built in too. I'm gonna go look at it now

Had one of these once with a 4x12. Got toasted when my band's rehearsal space in the old Yale Lock building burned to the ground

Now that sucks.

i played one through a fender bassman 215 with some old EV speakers in it, sounded amazing.

my pedal amp would be my v4 and hd130.

Gigging/recording: Sovtek mig50 with a 1x12 1 1/4" thick salvaged yellow pine cab I built with a Jensen.
Practice: Modded valve jr. with an aluminum Hallicrafters 1x10 cab, also with a Jensen.

Really wanting to get an HD130, though...

It's probably mentioned within these forum walls but the Music Man amps have been/are in the process of being reissued. I know nothing about the specs or $$$,

THD Univalve...

Any of them - Deluxe, Mustang V with 4x12, or Jazz Chorus.

If it didn't work with pedals galore, I wouldn't own it.

mostly Fender Super Rack (live and practice space)
And my benchmark amp: divided by 13 JRT 9/13

Yep.

Marshall DSL50. There are probably a lot of better amps out there but i love it for what it is. The clean channel is really warm sounding and a great pedal platform.

Yep.

Vox Pathfinder with LED mod and Tweedbassman's trem depth mod, and a ZT lunchbox.

Old blackface bandmaster. Lots of headroom and sweet cleantoanz to destroy with pedals.

Silverface bassman all the way.
