The Way It Moves
I've got a Peavey Envoy 110. I use that for studio applications and then a Behringer bass cabinet and a bass head for live. Yes, I play guitar through a bass rig.

Plugged into one yesterday. Didn't dig it at all. But then again I had just demoed all the Orange amps (AD30, Rocker 30, etc). I was quite impressed with them.
BUT, then I went to the local boutique dealer and plugged into a Bogner Ecstasy 101B for the first time. That's going to cost me big! I must have one. I've never heard an amp that good for the rock stuff that I play. It does so many things well it's crazy. Not a bad sound in it.

I have a JCM900. Only a combo, but it's 100W and just as loud a beast as the stacks (as my mate with a big AVT stack found out once at a gig hehe).
I also have (one for the retro fans) a MKI WEM dominator. It's a beat up piece of shit, but when I bother putting new valves in, it sounds lush for the oldskool vibe.
I voted Marshall, but Mesa Boogie rate pretty high. As for the 'anything but a peavey' option, change it to 'anything but a line6' and I'd be there...

Voted Mesa i've got a mk iii and subway rocket, great amps wasn't too keen on the contour channel everyone goes on about, but now i love it. I think the clean channel on the mesa is better than my twin reverb (which needs recapped to be fair). Peavy r great for price, never have been keen on Marshall amps, and i've forgotten the other manufacts

I own:
Crate Vintage Club 30 - Got it in 96, all tube, 12" speaker, I think it sounds great. From everything I've read, a lot of people think that this is the Crate to have.
Peavey VT Classic - From 1978 I think. Solid pre, tube power. Built in reverb & phase shifter. Sounds good, has a classic rock vibe to it. It was over 20 years old when I bought it, and it's still kicking, so I'd say it's made to last.
Dad's stuff that I mess around with whenever I make the trip back home:
(incomplete, these are the highlights that I remember off the top of my head)
1965 Fender Vibrolux Reverb
1958 Fender Bassman (the 2-hole one)
196? Fender Deluxe Reverb (blackface)
196? Fender Showman head (blackface)
a pair of silverface 197? Fender Super Reverbs.
He also has a Traynor YBA-1 Bass Master that he did the "Plexi" mod to. And some little Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier head and a Musicman combo.

Peavey can be a good amp, I discount the newer stuff (they all sound like crates or valvestates to me), but the old stuff (metal knob) can be real cool, peavey had it right when they made the hybrid amps of the 60's and 70's with a tube power amp and solid state pre amp, then sadly everyone went to a tube pre amp and solid state power amp and messed up the sound, good tube distortion come from the power tubs not the pre tubes and the original mace and deuce had 6 power tubes in them. to me the best sounding peaveys are the old MACE, DEUCE, BUTCHER,and the old 4x10 classics (al metal knob era) are reall cool especially for blues/ southern rock, hey Skynyrd and Hatchet used Peavey Maces exclusively.

Call me stupid, but I rather like my black/silver Peavey Bandit 112.
I also have a circa-1968 Kustom K200B 100w head (blue sparkle tuck & roll!) that I run through a Peavey 4x12 cabinet that sounds fairly schwingg. The Harmonic Clipper circuit (aka a built-in fuzztone circuit subbing for an actual overdrive channel) is friggin' awesome.
cheers

I'd love to find one of those.

Sound City. Of course the problem is they stopped production in 1973, but fine British amps that I'd take over anything on that list nonetheless.
