Is there ONE amp that you could get by with as your single amp?

I want to be a monogamist when it comes to amps. That said; I own 7 or 8 presently!

I could be totally happy with just my Morris UK68. Splendid amplifier in every way. The UK68, with its foot switchable boost, and my guitar’s volume knob get me all I really need.

I have a Metroplex MKII that could fit the bill as well. Similar to the Morris, spectacular.

However, I have a Wizard MCII that I absolutely love—especially live. The MCII is a fucking monster amp! I really dig rotating those three amps. Keeps everything fresh, diverse, interesting and inspiring.

As of right now; the Morris UK68 is my go-to. That would be “the one” if I had to choose.

But got-dam!! The Wizard! And the Metro!

Shit.
 
My answer can easily change depending on the week, but right now I’d say my mark iic HRGX (not the c+) simply because it might have the best clean of my high gain amps and is also the most aggressive, rude, rough around the edges sounding amp I’ve played so far

I’d miss dearly the leads and liquid feel of the c+, the throaty growl of the recto orange ch, the sheer cartoonish brutality of the Rev 1 Uber, the chewy, awesome feel of the Snorkler, the insane punch of the Hell Razor, but if forced to pick just one I think I’d have to go with that. It makes my other amps come off dark and very smooth and that’s already enough validation for me
 
I pretty much do that already these days. As my touring and regular gigging days are long gone I just have a Tone Master Deluxe Reverb that suits me just fine.

For me. Either of the Headfirst amps. The Atla can do every Marshall type tone. The EJ is just heavy and also do the plexi stuff. Both are my favorite amps not a bad tone to be had.

Mark IV is another favorite followed by the KSR Ares. But if I could only have one it would be either of the Headfirst amps
 
Any Laney valve amp intended for Rock, Hard Rock, or Metal.


If I had to choose.....hard.

GH100L
VH100R
IRT120

My current and what I would probably choose, IRT120. Super versatile amp, especially clever gain stagers. Very underrated clean channel imo.
