Last year I gave a boutique builder, Baron Custom Amps, a try and still smile every time I turn it on. Dave makes them one at a time to customer specs on top of his unique voicing. Generally built to be very aggressive, there is all the gain one could ever need but they remain articulate, organic and raw. They can be tamed though for more classic crunch vibes, and the cleans are great too!
High quality components, hand built from the ground up in the USA and for half of what some other boutique guys charge. These are my EL34 B60 (60 watt) with black snakeskin tolex and a KT88 K88 (80 watt) model in white. I thought I'd try them both and sell one off, but even though I don't need two amps I can't part with either. They both kick ass and I can't say enough good things about the builder and his amps.
Here you can see where I do most of my rocking. The little ENGL by the wall may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts. Since our condo isn't huge, I keep my pedalboard under my desk.
