Right then, at the moment I have been using a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier Head (just changed the tubes in this head it now sound gorgeous again
), I run this through a Mesa Boogie Rectifier 4x12 cab and I also use a Mesa Boogie F50 Combo...
...but I have been eyeing up either a Diezel or Orange combo as they both rock my ears!!
In the studio recently I have also been using:
Marshall JCM 'Slash' head (this is one of my fav amps and adds a real contrast to the Mesa amps, probably the best Marshall amp I have ever used)
Fender 'Bassman' head (great for BIG, springy clean sounds)
Engl 4x12 Standard cab
Marshall 4x12 1960B, 4x12 1960TVA and 2x12 1936 cabs
Engle Screamer 50 Combo
Here are a few pics of amps from the studio...

Hi Coolriffs - I got the F50 to use as a combo for small gigs, home practice and clinics etc...for when my Dual Rec was out of the question to transport!! It is a really nice amp, the clean can sometimes be a little dry (for my personal taste) but the gain is absolutely great - really cuts through...and with the contour boost you can step up a level once more (this is great for solos). I have been using this in recording situations on my latest work for some lead parts as I think it cuts in the final mix slightly better than a 4x12 in some circumstances - for recording the F50 I like to close mic the front and also mic up the (open) back to help with the bass freq (also add an ambient mic to really help give it some 'breathing space' in the final mix). I do have to say though I have GAS for an Orange Rocker 30 Combo - I have used these several times when I have been doing some Vigier clinics in the UK and they really are great amps!!
