Current gigging amps are either a a fender twin or evhiii+212 depending on the gig,
Rehearsing I use a H&K zenamp - quick grab and go set up
At home I use a thr10
and the marshall jubilee and jmp1 are ready in case I get around to doing some recording but could be a live back up if I needed them.
I don't want to have to set my gigging amps up at home and I like the option to have different style amps for different gigs.
If I "needed" a new guitar or had a surprise bill I could always get rid of some and manage but with the price a lot of 2nd hand gear is going for it's suits me to hang on to them and enjoy the options.
I used to tell myself I needed those different flavours for my studio, but truthfully it's just a passion. I head straight for the amp department in guitar shops without even glancing at the guitars.
H&K Tubemiester 36 head & cab - My main amp
Roland Cube 60 - my back up, spare and an amp that still delivers for me in certain situations and isn't worth selling for the £90-100 it's now worth. I may hook it up to my main rig and have stereo fx courtesy of my TC Flashback and Zoom CDR-70
Roland Cube 120XL - my bass amp
So, 3 and Yamaha's "third amp" theory makes sense to me and I can see their thinking behind the THR range. On that score, I do have a Roland Micro Cube, which apart from home use, gets used as an acoustic preamp and reverb for gigs (goes direct to PA).
I would love a really good clean channel valve amp (25-40W), maybe something like a Carr or old Vibrolux
so now you can listen in stereo in stereo?
Supportact said: [my style is] probably more an accumulation of limitations and bad habits than a 'style'.
I still have two other amps - a Peavey Studio Pro 110 (early 90s solid state amp) which is my most used amp, it sits next to my bench in my workshop for testing guitars and pedals, and is my grab-and-go amp for anything where carrying a 98lb, 100W 2x12" is just overdoing it - and a 1964 Centurion 5W amp which I bought just because it's the same as the first amp I ever owned. It's actually quite nice too, but unlikely to get any serious use since it's bigger than the Peavey (although lighter I think).
I also have a "multi amp" which is for acoustic guitar, vocals etc, but if we're just counting guitar amps...
And a Peavey bass amp which weighs even more than a Trem-o-verb.

If it wasn't for the false-backed fitted wardrobe with space under the eaves I'd be totally bollocksed

Feedback
I've an AC4 at home, which I have gigged with actually, but otherwise I'm happy with the AC30. I'm a lot less precious about using whatever amp is available at gigs then I used to be. I'll only bring the AC30 if we're a headliner, or I absolutly need to. Was playing a gig in Brixton at the weekend and the amp I was using was one of the old Marshall Valvestate amps for the 90s. It was totally fine.
Noise, randomness, ballistic uncertainty.
Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself
That would be rather a large current collection (badum tish)
I've got two at the mo, having just bought a "new" one. Don't know how long that will last - I don't think I really need both.
