Oh it's time to throw a monkey wrench into the works. I actually have a few that could qualify as favorites. The HXDA for sure, but I also can't do without my DG30, and the Fillmore 50 is fast becoming one of my go-to amps.
"So what's the monkey wrench?"
"We live in a fantastic era - more great tube amps are being made than were made in the '50s and '60s. There are so many great builders. It's hard to go wrong buying any of the better brands of amps. Picking a favorite is tough! It changes from day to day, depending on what I'm working on.
My PRS amps are superb. I still love Mesa amps. And Two-Rocks, Victorias, Matchless, Bad Cat, Morgan, Dr. Z...and on and on.
There are just so many great amps for me to play and report to you on here!
This is why I
deserve:
a) 100 Million Dollars; and,
b) Another 100 Million Dollars. Just in case. What do you care how much I get as long as I make clips you can make gear decisions with? Right?"
"Wrong."
"Well a perfect, world class studio would be helpful to make these reports, preferably on the Grand Corniche in the South of France, in a house, equipped with a large recording room and whatever else I require for my ability to recommend stuff. I'm not going to leave the house to go to a studio, ever again. It's foolish.
Gimme the money,
Feel free to crowdfund me the first hundred mil. Gotta start somewhere!
"
"Why the South of France?"
"Because it's nice there."
