Blackmore Wannabe
I tend to rotate between My Blackmore Strat,Variax and LesPaul thru Marshal DSL 40c
There are three electric amps, and 2 acoustic amps - Fender '65 Deluxe Reverb Reissue, Fender '68 Custom Deluxe Reissue, a TubeWorks head (solid state with a tube preamp can be run as SS, tube, both combined) and 2 speaker Tube Works cab, a Crate Acoustic 125D, and a Genz Benz Shenandoah Acoustic 85.
I'm sure people know the Fender amps, but here are pics of the amps some might not know:

For tube:
The Gretsch 5420T, the Squier Jaguar, the Ibanez AM93, the PRS SE Custom 24, and the Strats pair nicely with the Fender '65 DRRI
When I want a bit more dirt in the sound, the Strats, or a Peavey Limited HB pair up nicely with the Fender '68 Custom DRI, which breaks up faster than the '65.
For solid state with a tube preamp:
The Strats, the Peavey, and the PRS SE Custom 24 pair up well with the Tube Works head and cab.
For acoustic:
I think the Taylor 710ce, and the Takamine 12-string both sound best through the Genz Benz.
The Takamine Glenn Frey Signature sounds best with either the Genz Benz, or the Crate.
The Epiphone Masterbuilt DR-500 sounds best through the Crate amp.
The local GC has a TubeWorks 7100 combo. I meant to try it out, but didn't get 'round to it.

I need to play through that just once. It sounds massive sounding.McFeely 427 Hemi into my Hovercraft Dwarvenaut 20 into my 2x12 Celestion cream backs cabinet
Yeah it's too loud for the house so it lives at my friends gun shop. When me and Annie find new jobs, I'll have one made with a built in attenuator.I need to play through that just once. It sounds massive sounding.
