Pod XT Live, direct to PA. The Pod is usually set to an AC30 or Fender Deluxe emulation.

Hot Rod Deluxe - Classic looks, all-tube, sounds good, and I didn't have to sell any organs to afford it. :)

I'm thinking of getting a matching HRD extension cab, and maybe a '65 Deluxe RI down the road.

VOX AC30CC1 most of the time.

Roland Micro Cube when I am lying on the sofa watching movies.

Hughes & Kettner Tubeman - I use this one instead of the VOX AC30CC1 for recording, if I want to get a slightly different sound.

1997- Victoria Victoriette 2x10, Silver Faced Deluxe Reverb, Traynor YCV20WR (w/ a Celestion blue speaker)
360- Victoriette, YVC20WR
360/12 CW- SFDR, YCV20WR
660/12- YCV20WR

Whenever I take any of the Rics with me on a business trip, they're played through a little Champion 600 that has a Weber alnico speaker. Last week I had the 660/12 with me. This week, I have my '62 Tele Custom RI.

As indicated in another recent thread in the "General" category, I have a Vox AC-15 and a Fender Custom Vibrolux Reverb, but I find myself using the Vox almost exclusively. It brings out a lot of character in my 360/6, 660/12, and Tele Deluxe, and I love the gain structure. I've decided to sell the Vibrolux to finance purchase of a Valvetronix amp. Anyone whose interested in buying the Vibrolux, send me an IM. :)

Trace Elliot GP12SMX and SP7SM, bi-amped to give about 1500 watts of bass mono, and about 1000 watts with the Rick-O-Sound.

I'm lucky enough to be using a full on Rickenbacker Transonic T200 head & cabinet, but I don't really like taking it out of the house.

For gigging, I use Ashdown ABM 1*15 & 2*10 cabinets & a Markbass LMII head.

When I finally gig out on guitar this summer, I'll be playing through a Reverend Hellhound.

You guys have got some great amps.

I just talked to Bob @ Eurotubes because my Tubes are acting up in my Deluxe Reverb. He set me up with an entire new set including some ECC81's, ECC83S's, along with the GZ34 and 6V6's. Should be an improvment over the issues I just started having with the ol' tubes.

Anyway loved to hear about more of those amps you guys are running through :mrgreen: .

Vox AC15H1TV sound just great with either my 360-12WB or 350V63. Good range of sounds available. Still hanging onto my Marshal VS265R stereo 2X12 for real hard driving rock. Gotta get me a Ric O Sound to try in that.
