1) 2203x
2) 2555
3) Great playing!
Hard to pick, really. I agree with the others about wanting to hear the amps raw sound. It would be nice to compare the base line of each amp. Thanks for the demo!

Thanks 4Horseman - glad you liked it. I will do a recording soon of each amp with no FX.

I'm using the Jubilee live atm, and the Xotic BB is on my board so I guess I like that tone. :)

Do you have any videos or clips of your band Australian? I'd love to hear you guys!!

I really liked the 1987x in this. It had a certain quality to it that I can't describe. Kind of like a shimmering tone to the high end. The 6100 sounded great too as was the jubilee.

Thanks CharvelFan for listening. My least favorite is the 6100, but the 1987XL, 2555 and 2203X produce some great tones I love.

I'll send you the audio of a gig we did recently within the next few days.

While I liked the 1987X for it's warmth it is really hard to beat the 100 watt girth of the 2203 & the Jube. They just fill the sonic spectrum for me. I'd be curious how a 1959 would fare - most likely as I'm lusting for one.

Great playing too!
