I don't like vox.
In fact,I'll do the same thing as mad-mike:
Bugera = Don't need the power and unreliable
Mesa = 2nd fav - really nice tone with high gain
Marshall = Tone sucks IMO. Rather crunchy, not enough gain
Orange = Waaay too crunchy. Sounds like a one man band on crack
Peavey = Unreliable and tone is hit and miss - EVH 5150 too expensive
Gorilla = Interesting story here....will post. Sounds like ####
Vox = Too boxy sounding - crunchy and not enough gain
Ampeg = No Distortion without a pedal + Rare tubes
Fender = No distortion channel, would need a pedal...
Crate = Again, hit and miss. Heard bad things
Randall = I don't like these.....something about them.....
Bogner = My fav- loads of smooth, creamy distortion with amazing harmonics and power
Epiphone = Crappy speakers and not enough watts
ENGL = bit too crunchy
Blackstar = Not enough gain
Laney = pretty cool. had good experiences with these amps, but not heavy enough
