Just interested to see what the favorites are and whatnot.

Mine is a 5E3 Deluxe and I'm so proud to own one - a '55 Small Box. These amps have a lot of tone in a small package. The dynamics are out of this world.

No tweed was ever a "dream amp" of mine.

Great choices!

For the record, I love Blackface/Silverface amps too. My '68 Super Reverb is my pride and joy for live playing. I just got two '60s Mustangs the other day and I used one through my Super Reverb and some pedals for the whole show last weekend. It's just that the 5E3 is my ideal all around amplifier for everything. The chewiness of the distortion and midrange is nice for recording and getting those tones similar to the ZZ Top or Eagles records of the 70s.

Lots of great amps out there but I always go back to the same one... so if I have to pick my "dream" amp it's gotta be this one

I really love my '65 bassman, but I've always thought telecasters sound a bit thin through black fenders. I could be wrong - just what I've noticed.
So, to me it's time to focus on some tweed, and as a huge Keith Richards fan I'd have to say my dream amp is a twin - a late 59-early 60 to be exact. Ever seen Keef's brown tolexed wide panel twin?

This one might require some serious luck or a kit build however...
