Finally bought my dream amp

I've always been a huge gilmour fan and said I would one day own a Hiwatt. Finally found one and pulled the trigger on it. It's a 76 4 input DR504 all original except for the plug, which was switched to a 3 prong. Will post some pics in the next day or so. I'm curious what y'all's favorite amps are.

Well, I like
Mesa Triple Rectifier
Peavey 5150
Mesa Mark V
ENGL Powerball
ENGL Invader
Marshall JCM900 4100
This rig will probably always be in my "Studio go-to" for one of the panned guitars and layers. Mainly using SHURE SM57s to mic it up.
Usually ran through a 4x12 loaded with Celestion Vintage 30 speakers and with an Ibanez TS808 to boost. EMG 81/85 pickups and thick strings.
BOSS Katana (practice)

My Fender Super Deluxe is my go-to for guitars.
My Sonny Jr 4x10 has incredible balls for harping.

My desert island amp is my 1990 Mesa/Boogie Mark III SimulClass green strip long chassis head. It has been sent back to Mike B. in Petaluma for the R2 channel mod and master volume addition, and for a reverb circuit upgrade. Sits atop a Recto series closed back widebody vertical 2x12, loaded with Warehouse Guitar Speakers' clones of a 90 watt Celestion and a 150 watt ElectroVoice. I have yet to find an amp on the planet that sounds more like me, my needs and the scope of my tastes/genres than this amp.
My Roland Jazz Chorus 120, Ampeg 2x10 300-watter and the Genz Benz Shenandoah LT are pretty dreamy for what they do too. Here's a recent hurricane preparations shot when all the guitars normally parked in front of them were stowed away.

If I ever feel like dropping the money on it I eventually want a Matchless amp. Or a Komet.

Have come full circle, started playing in 1970 with a 1965 Fender deluxe reverb, 25 or 30 amps later I have a handmade clone of the same amp. Built in a monotone cabinet and chassis, mostly new old stock vintage parts, and tubes, with a Eminence Texas Heat speaker.

I want a Matchless DC-30.

I was part of the roadie crew for the band I used to play with, and that fricking Ampeg was so damn heavy. Sounded great though.

I'm with you on that. In my experience, Ampeg has always been quality. I used a SVT-2 Pro Head in the past.
