What amp are you missing?

At this point in my life, I think I‘m all set. What I really want is to have time at home to enjoy what I have. And to finish the tweed Champ I started building and to start on the DR504 project that I got from T-Rex. I‘m done with this travel for work crap.
 
I understand that each Dumble amp was built and tuned for the artiest this gray mouse fur amp had to be the worst sounding amp I had ever played Alexander wold not let me touch any of the controls on on the amp a few weeks later did get order forms and contracts
if it was a high plate classic skyline EQ no such thing back then the engineer made me rerecord everything the next day with my Fender amps modified by billy Zoom first take done.

If you wish to buy the worst sounding Dumble amp ever made

 
[ know Leo Fender was not pleases guitarist were buying tweed bassmans so he invented the Concert amp i have a early
one serial #### 47 1960 TRIAD transformers it has a sound Marshall's dream of but fall short Marshall was copying the bassman
the Concert amp was next level. Plus the best $100.00 guitar amp i ever scored black plate RCA 6L6GC 1959 date code
6 UK Mullard 12AX7 all tested better than new.

I had an old Concert too back in the '80s. It was such a killer amp. I gigged a ton with it. Wish I had hung onto it.
 
I need another amp like I need another hole in my head. But ……..
I still hear my buddies )way back in the day) Park amp in my head as the best tone Ive ever heard, oh and a 59 bassman oh and that 55’ Deluxe that I played once oh and that original Marshall 18 watt and, and , and……..

Having gone through a handful of Marshalls, I would agree that the JVM does ALL of the Marshall tones and therefore I don't need another Marshall

My high gain exotic itch has been scratched well with my ENGL Fireball..... It only does 1 thing, but it does it extremely well.

I've got American muscle in the 6505 that cuts through and stays tight ..

I don't like vintage tones at all myself .....

That leaves me scratching my head as to what else is there that I've always wanted.
The ENGL Savage.... A Randy Rhoads white Marshall for aesthetics. ...? A Kemper for all the amp flavors ?
Something rich ..like a Mezzabarba, or maybe a Diezel? I just don't know....

For now I think I'm good.
Thoughts on a SLO 100?
 
Thoughts on a SLO 100?

My limited thoughts:
I have watched 100 videos on the amp. (At least )
I haven't played one.
I have played a clone version, (and also the jet city 20) I get what the SLO is about, if I was playing leads and just big chords all the time it would be on my get list.
I find the amp a little sluggish (in a good way ) for what I do and play, so for me it's not a must have. I have mostly owned tight metal amps.

The Slo does sound big and beautiful and has a somewhat distinct tone. I certainly think it's a great amp, albeit somewhat pricey.
 
I owned a Black Face Bassman, wish I had a pic but I do not.
The most kick a$$ was my JCM 900 DR 4102
Heavy in a good way and in a not so good way.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I never played one but did hear my buddy's SLO 100 at his house before he moved to FL. He sure could make it sound good. When I used to see him play live just about every Tuesday from 2000- 2010, he played a JCM 900.
