In #369 above I said none, but I was looking. However, as of Tuesday I now have one, a GA-20. I sold my previous amp in 1982, so for 41-years there has been no amp hanging around our house. Had to buy a cord off Amazon before I could try it out, but it does “work”. Kind of a low, soft background noise that I have to look into.
It has a serial number so I need to hunt down the year it was made. Would interesting if it is the same year as my 1952 L-5C?

I'm somewhat embarrassed to admit that I'm at about 35. Most of them were acquired 10 to 25 years ago when they were lesser known and cheaper than now. There's also another 8 or 10 speaker cabinets.

I've got three.
1) Jazz Reverb Dual Master 150 by Sonic Guitars
2) Polytone Mega Brute
3) DV Mark Little Jazz

Jazzreverb 150 Deluxe Guitar Amp

I have a boss katana 50 which I did nearly all my learning on and love. And now a 68 custom deluxe reverb which I’m honesty underwhelmed by, maybe I was just expecting to sound better but I don’t know.
Might trade towards a Princeton so I can take to a friends house easier or the 65 deluxe reverb which may be more of what I want.

Currently, the only amp I use is a DV Mark Little Jazz. I am very happy with it. It doesn't do anything magical, but it's real easy to set up for a nice, clean jazz sound, and it's super portable. Despite its size it can go quite loud as well, if needed.
I have a few amps that are stowed away. A Marshall DSL 401 from my younger days, an 80s cream-colored Roland Cube, and a small Kustom practice amp. None of them see any use from me anymore.
For a good decade I had a Fuchs ODS 30 that I got in high school. It was dependable and I gigged with it. But with time I stopped bonding with the sound. Something about the mids. It also has too many options for my current tastes, with time I gravitate more toward simplicity: set it and forget it. And the head/cab thing is not the most practical setup either. So I ended up recently selling it.
I've been GASing hard for a Carr Sportsman to replace it, but I'm having a hard time justifying that I need it, since I don't really gig anymore.
I also recently tried a Victory V40 which was lovely. But again the head/cab setup is a bit impractical.

Well, the Victoria 518 champ is unfortunately gone, it was an all around great amp, but just a tad too broken for jazz at gig volumes (i played quite a few drumless gigs with it). If i was playing more blues gigs it would have been a forever keeper, but for my uses i prefer the Fender Pro Junior IV. Sold it to the right musician also!
So the champ is gone, and a Marshall JCM800 studio classic head is coming to replace it, just in time for my new fusion project!!

or 6 counting pedal amps. Just traded for a milkman 100. It’s superb. Cleans are fabulous, maybe my favorite amongst all my amps, even my beloved overdrive reverb. Its speaker out and xlr balanced outs make it extremely flexible in studio or stage. Takes dirt pedals great

AER Compact 60/2.
Hand wired 18 Watt combo (1 x 12" built by me from an Ampmaker.com kit with a Cab by A F Custom).
Boss Katana 50 mk1.
Bose S1 Pro (x 2).
Boss MicroCube (mostly for using a looper in an acoustic setting).
They all get used but as I hardly ever gig these days it's mostly mucking about in the home studio and the odd open mic.

Well I have just wasted 2 hrs of my time reading all of the posts. I thought I was sick with GAS. You all appear to AAS (amplifier acquisition syndrome). I have been looking around at suggestions for relatively affordable desktop practice amps and never heard of DV Mark Little until now (not sure I would call that relatively affordable but whatever).. Fender mustangs and champs may be bigger than I want. The Yamaha THR10 is also on my radar but also not cheap. FYI, I have a silverface Deluxe Reverb from the ?80's that I use at home because it weighs so much. I've pretty much use it for jazz my Heritage GE and 575. It would be nice to have a lightweight amp that sounds great, is affordable, that I could take over to play with friends however. Thanks for the education. I commiserate with all of you "amp heads".

Two guitar and one bass. No more room though I’m happy with everything I have.

Jazz brought me back from bluegrass. It's always haunted me that it took me so long to start studying jazz. I've always wanted to be a really good jazz player...since I started playing guitar in 1961. But rock got ahold of me in my early years and studying jazz got shelved.
Then I went to work one day and started listening to the bluegrass channel on Sirius XM. Bluegrass sunk it's teeth in me and I was hooked. I worked really hard on my bluegrass flat picking and after a few years I got pretty good at it. I also took up mandolin and Scruggs style banjo. But guitar has always been my main instrument.
So, realizing I'm 74 y/o and running out of time I've started earnestly getting to work on jazz and music theory. I'm still in a bluegrass band but the majority of my time is now spent on jazz. That's the short version of my conversion to jazz story.
So that I might stay a little closer to this thread...for amps, I have a Fender Tone Master Deluxe Reverb and a Victoria 20112 (5e3) Tweed Deluxe. I love both amps.
