Based on actual experience and not lofty dreaming ( that would be an old 100w Plexi in that case), then its the JCM2000 DSL50.
Of all the amps I ever owned, its the swiss army knife every time: just plug straight in, tweak the dials and you can cover just about any ground you want. You want Metal? Its got it. Need that old classic Crunch? No sweat. Want to go for a beautiful fat crystal clean? Switch it on over! Literally any style one can think of, can be accomplished if you wish.

I’d have a hard time. I need an amp for home use and an amp for live use. So far I haven’t found one that covers both uses.

Just one amp? It's not posible. I need all of them, lol. Seriously I think will be a TSL100 or a JVM or ... NO! Just one! it's not posible. This question it's like you ask From your underwear with which briefs would you stay if you could only choose one?

None of course, a no-brainer

Only one amp. That would be the Quilter Overdrive 200. It covers everything from crisp cleans to angry distortion. It's equally happy blasting 200 watts as it is whispering 2 and it can be hooked up to the audio interface for recording. Plus, it sounds good.

Became very easy for me since this showed up, 1887 Marshall JCM800 2205
Normal side i run Non master volume & Boost is just that or into intense crunch. soaring-sustaining leads or lay into chord strumming with singles, The amp is dynamic,,it sensitive & it's brutal. The HP8- celestion k 100's just clearly represent the tone & if want a lil old school simply put it on greenback cab Takes all my guitars & pedals. It is the amp that stopped the gear search & wars..
Amazing how 1 piece of gear can tie it all in & make plug n play a simple but effective experience from whisper levels to any gig - studio situation. It's the centerpiece of the madnesss

Probably my favorite amp of all time is the Engl PowerBall. Only the price tag keeps me from owning one.

I cannot pick only one amp. If I did, all the others would feel betrayed and never trust me again. Such a cruel question! Now I feel dirty even thinking about it. I need to go clear my conscience by doing some major junk rubbing on all my amps. Excuse me... This is going to take a while...
