      The SLO is or has been a dream. I strangely think if you are a good player ( which I am not )that is a damn good amp

          Like you said, I liked (or loved) everything I had before moving on including a few Crates and many Peaveys. But for the past few years and long into the future:
          Randall MTS.. RM100 and RM50 with a bunch of modules. All amps I'm interested in and ability to change in a few seconds.

            JCM 2000 TSL,JVM 410H, JCM 800 2203, Fender vintage reissue 65 deluxe reverb, Mesa Boogie dual rec. Soldano SLO100 Super lead. JCM 900, Boogie triple rec, Laney IRT 60H, Randall RG 100ES, Pretty much any EVH 5150, Marshall Valvestate 8100. I could go on forever. I think if you work with any amp long enough you can find at least one sound or quality you like about all guitar amps. Some have tons of good features others just a few but I think they all have good things and bad things about them. It all just depends on how you utilize said amp in my opinion.

            This is what I think of Gibson since 1993. I HATE BEING LEFT HANDED! I rock out to Baby metal because Wilkinsi said I can't listen to Rick Astley anymore.

              Don't think I could part with my two Cygnus amps they have a unique tone all their own.No need for dirt pedals they have all the drive you need.
              Currently loving my Blackstar HT studio 20 head and Marshall Class 5 head.Both are really great sounding amps.
              Really? well screw Mark Twain.

                I dig the Peavey Triple X alot. I have 3 heads and 1 combo. It is a rather raw amp with alot of hidden options. It compares to the Rectifier by Mesa but for half the price. It has been a dream ever since I had a amp tech walk me through the damping and impedance switches and help understand the active EQing on the gain channels. At 120 amps it is alot to handle so pairing it up with a 4 ohm hotplate and running the cabinet stereo brings out the beauty in this beast. No added overdrive or distortion ever needed. Very under-rated amp!!!
                I like black and white guitars

                    Of ALL those amps, the only ones i have enjoyed (and still have) are the:

                    Egnater Tweaker 15

                        Magnatone MP3 combo it was the best clean sounding amp I ever owned and kick myself for selling it. Never heard an amp like it.

                          I have probably owned every amp on the planet. My favorite is the Mesa Boogie Single Rectifier Solo Series 2 head. In the past... the amps I thought were fantastic that I owned were the Soldano SLO100, Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier Tremoverb head, and every version of the Peavey 5150 Series.

                            I've had my Laney AOR 50 head since the early 90's. I use it for JCM800 tones.
                            I've been in love with my orange DSL100 since Nov 1998. Use it for modern tones or classic tones.
                            My recent amp is a Lynchbox. I have about 10 modules, but nothing really mod'ed.

                            My DSL is still #1 for most stuff.
                            I guess I'd call the Lynchbox my #2.
                            The Laney is a one-trick pony, but it does the roaring classic Marshall tones really well.

                              Just got a JVM410H and cannot stop playing it. Great amp at bedroom practicing levels and playing live. First amp I have had in awhile that provides inspired playing.
                              No honey, I have always had this Jackson....
