What's your favorite combo amp that's not from an assembly line? not the fenders, ampegs, and voxs' but some different stuff...

huh!? They are all from an assembly line! Some lines small some bigger. Are you talking about DIY amps?
Hi,
little OT, but i use an Amp build in an 1982 FenderShowman (DualReverb) Top.
It has a ClassA 60Watt PowerAmp and the PreAmp is modified from two Channels with Vibrato and Reverb to a one Channel Amp with Reverb only.
Sounds like a Mix from Californian Amp and British style.
At lower Gain its Fenderish and at higher Gainsettings its slightly like
a Marshall.
I dont know whats and how its modified, but its completely handwired
and sounds good for my ears.
I use it together with an 2x12 custom made cabinet from "AagaardNielsen"
A small Custom Cabinet Builder from Germany...

Not sure what you have against assembly lines, but...
If you are looking for some "money is no object" *trophy* combo, I can't help you. But if you are looking for a good sounding *grab-it-and-go* amp, look into the Traynor YCV20WR. For $500 or less you get a nice little 1X12 15 watt Class A EL84 powered amp (with a useable reverb even!). The *WR* model features a Celestion Greenback for the speaker. It only weighs about 32 lbs. Don't let the 15 watts fool you either - 15 watts Class A is LOUD! Comes with a 2 year transferable "even if you break it" warranty. At this price get two and run stereo! Haven't gigged mine yet, but I'm sure it will beat lugging my 80+ lb Rivera for smaller gigs. The *distortion* channel sounds sweet when goosed by a Rangemaster too.
