The "Big Amp" Shootout

[Genesis]

There are the 'Survivor' series threads in the other sections, so why not one for guitar equipment?
This one is for amps. (Tube amps only as others suck). I've listed amps price-wise into three categories. (Since I believe price is the most limiting factor). These include combos and heads.  Here goes....

1. Under $500:

Combos:

Epiphone Valve Junior
Laney LC15R
Fender Blues Junior
Crate V8 Palamino
Peavey ValveKing 112
Burman Pro 502

2. $500 - $1500:

Combos:

Traynor YCV50 Blue
Randall RG50TC
Fender Hot Rod Deville
Vox AC30 Custom
Peavey Classic Delta series
Marshall DSL 401
Marshall TSL602 JCM2000

Heads:

Marshall TSL100 JCM2000
Marshall DSL100
Marshall MB350 Mode Four
Peavey Penta Head
Vox AC30 Custom

3. Above $1500:

Combos:

Marshall 1974X Handwired
Marshall  TSL122 JCM2000
Mesa Boogie Mark IV
Fender 64 Vibroverb BlackFace

Heads:

Marshall 1959 Handwired Plexi
Marshall JCM800
Marshall Slash Signature
Peavey XXL Head
Peavey EVH 5150 II
Bogner Shiva
Bogner Uberschall.

This list is by no means comprehensive.  Vote off amps in each category (Hopefully not just because u don't like them) and optionally list any amps u feel should be in the list.

Coming soon (If this works): "Big Guitar", "Big Drums", "Big Bass" ...

Burman Pro 502 should be in combos under $500, I haven't played almost 80% of the amps on the list?

[Miz]

I'll save some time and vote for the Peavey 5150 II as the best Head ever made.
Boogie Mark IV as the best combo, AC30 close 2nd.
Epi valve junior as best value for money.

persnally id say the best head would be the marshall jcm slash/jubilee 2555. there is no clear cut one out there. just a lot of favorites as for me, im getting a valveking 212 soon

[Darkburst]

I think the Crate V8 Palomino should be in the sub $500 category. A sweet little tube amp and a good price. I'm not sure why the JCM800 is in the above $1500 since I see 2203's from the 80's on Ebay for under $1000 all the time. In the above $1500 I vote for the Bogner Shiva, amazing clean channel and an awesome hot-rodded Marshall dirty channel. I've owned Shiva's and a 2555 and the Shiva is def better sounding and more versatile.

Since this thing hasn't moved much, I'm just letting it go.

Since this thing hasn't moved much, I'm just letting it go.?

It was a great idea, but we should all have been given these amps to test out (and keep? )

[Skeba]

Yeah.. I think a lot of people have not tested enough of these amps to be able to really say anything..

[Genesis]

Yeah I know. I haven't even seen any of these amps. The list is based purely on web reviews and product specs.
