I think we found the guy who bought Kyles collection .
 
The ones in my signature and a 1971 Marshall 1992 100W EL34 that I had to sell for personal reasons.

I owned a 5150IIIS 100W EL34 for two months but never even opened the box. Exchanged it towards recording gear.

8-9 in total over 20 years. 6 of them I still own.
 
I've owned a measly 9 amps compared to soundstorm.

Have 5 at the moment.

Favorites of the current lineup: SLO-30, BE-50, and the honeymoon is starting with a SL67.
I prefer the BE-50 over the BE100, to each their own.

Would like to try a FUCHS and a Metropolous.
 
Probably around 25 total during my lifetime, including rack rigs back in the day; around 5 bass amps total (all sold).

Currently own 8 tube amps (3 Marshalls, 2 Engls, 3 Fenders), and one non-tube amp (Line 6).

Can't even begin because I'm such a burn out.
I cant tell you the number of times one of my bros says "what happened to the (insert amp here) that you had?"
And I say "Wait,what? Did I have that amp?"
And that's just since 2008 or so. Shit, I can't remember what all I still have as of now.
In the 90s I had a crazy amount of rack gear. Can't remember what all I went through then either. Just the good stuff sticks in my head.
It's probably better that I don't remember everything or I'd be pissed at myself for wasting so much money and time.
 
Yeah I keep a list and I've owned more than 50 amps / preamps and that is in the past few years only. I still have my 1984 Mark iic+ 60 watts / Marshall JMP 2203 / Ampeg VH 140 and peavey rock master Preamp

Fark I'll give this a try:

My rule from here is I don't want to own more than 4 heads.
Don't want too many options when writing/recording.

That's a hell of a run of high end amps! What was your favorite of them all?
 
Well over a hundred but less than 200 I would guess. But I haven’t had 15 Wizards tho—holy shit
