You can't answer a question that is an oxymoron. If I voted Fender it wouldn't mean a damn thing. So If you like Fender then vote for Fender. You might even post which one you like so everyone can laugh at you. :wink: Travis, this ain't the gear page. Ears is a highly trained, competent amp tech wh...

And you never answered the question at hand. I guess your more intrested in correcting the obvious. :wink: You can't answer a question that is an oxymoron.

That's a list of manufacturers (except for the Dumb Ell), not amps. There exists considerable variation within product lines, for example is a Tweed Champ comparable to the Twin Reverb? :wink: The list is a starting point for discussion.
