2 off 4x12
1 off 2x12
4 off low powered "practice" combos (although I have taken one of these to gigs where high volume was not required)
4 off medium powered "gig" combos (1 acoustic, 1 kbd)
Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself
One of the vavle heads is a tiny 1 watt affair
The rest of the heads are big massive affairs between 80-130 watts
I use my Matamp head for gigging and practice.
I collect STAK valve amps (I have three two are the same one is more powerful)
I have another random head I got because I used to like collecting amps.
of the several million amps I have [in the Axe-FX], the ones I use most are:
Diezel Herbert
Deizel VH4
Engl Savage
Peavey 5150 mkIII and mkI 'block'
70's 100W Hiwatt
Marshall JCM800 and occasionally the Silver Jubilee
Carol-Anne Triptik
59 Bassman
65 Bassman
Texas Star
there are a few amps that I think I should look into a little more at some point.. the Dumble ODS, Brown Eye, Dual Rec, AC30 and AC15.. and maybe the Uberschall
AER 60
Henricksen JazzAmp 10+
Fishman Loudbox Pro *
Any one want a Fishman Loudbox (the 2 channel, 100W one) ? PM me

Ill just add that there's no ' holy grail' amp, guitar, or pedal that will be all things to everyone- all the time.
Variety is the spice of life! Whether your recording, gigging or playing for your own enjoyment at home; if you're listening critically to the sound/s you get, you reach the point where multiple choice between instruments (and an amp is just as much of an intrument as an elec guitar imo) is necassary.
laney vc20 212 combo, main gigging amp
laney cub12 r have gigged but use for jams and loud playing at home
micro terror head to use as emergency backup to plug combo speakers into if needed
peavey 112 bandit permanently left in our rehearsal shed for reheasals and occasional outdoor gigs
little Kustom 10w solid state practise amp for noodling at home.
tbh when at home I often plug into whatever is nearest, cant be arsed moving amps around
Does all I need it to and more. Attenuator for the house, but enough volume to play out if required. Beautiful BF type clean channel and plenty of gain (for me) on the 2nd channel. Gorgeous reverb and trem. And it's pretty enough for the wife not minding it in the living room.
I can't help about the shape I'm in, I can't sing I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you, I might not give the answer that you want me to
Pure GAS, yup. )
I do only have one bass amp, though
I have five: 3 guitar, 2 bass.
Fender Mustang III- My usual go to.
Fender Super Champ x2.- for those times when the neighbors are out, and I can turn up a bit. I like this one a lot, Just for whatever reason I've been playing thru the Mustang more recently.
Vox VT20+ Sits in closet gathering dust since I bought ^^. I keep it as a grab and go for going to lessons and such. too much of a pita to unplug all the pedals and such from my others. Plus, it was only $170 new and isn't worth much to sell...
Bass:
Markbass Micro Mark. 1x8 combo. My go to. It's basically a 13" cube- you can't get much more portable than that. Love the sound.
Fender Rumble 15. Keeping that Vox company in the closet. At $99 new, it's hardly worth the effort to sell it. Very nice sounding, but it runs out of headroom very quickly.
The collection IS somewhat due to GAS, but mostly simple upgrades. The Mustang was a great deal found on craigs list, shortly after I got the Superchamp.
The Markbass was a result of a massive Peavey MAX that took up WAY too much room in my apartment, and was bulky and awkward to move around. I wasn't sold on the sound, either. Traded that for the Markbass, and won on both counts.
I still GAS for other amps, mainly a nice vintage sounding all valve combo. I've resisted, so far- because I already have two amps I love, and all the valve amps I've tried were too frigging loud when used to get the tone I wanted from them. I think I'm spoiled by the flexibility, and low level tones from my Modellers. I still want one, though... I also still GAS for a v2 Mustang- just for the extra models and dirt options.
The lil night train is just for plinking around on in the house.
I could never park right next to the house after a gig, sometimes a two minute walk away. So cutting down the amount of 2am walks back to the car, appealed to me I am thinking about getting a nice amplifier though, something which i can get decent chunky overdriven sounds from the amp rather than a stompbox. I'm pretty much done with electrig guitar gas, my pretty much PRS cured that (never say never!). But I could see myself getting a nice zilla cab and maybe three guitar heads, a mesa, H&K and a fender super sonic. But in all seriousness if it was one head which covered a lots of sounds effectively then i'd be sold
