I still to this day do now why it was confused. But I do know why it was noisy in the michael fowler center.

I still think this is one of the most under-rated amps ever. Along with everything Laney.

I'm gonna say Dr Z, even though I've only ever played one of their amps, but it consistently works for me in every situation (as long as it's accompanied by my pedal board).

Fender for the sheer number of amazing amps they have created and continue to create (try a Bassbreaker 15!)

And Peavey and Laney for consistently awesome budget friendly amps.

Opportunities to hear many of the amps in this thread at their best are few and far between. So I'm changing my vote to Kemper (which is I suppose is every amp).

I could never make a Kemper work for me, but for you, I can't imagine why you'd ever have anything else.
