I've had a lot of gear underwhelm me, but thats cos I'm very picky about what I like. I hate Marshall's with a passion, and I dont rate Mesa's either. I don't like any Peavey except the JSX isn't bad. Any modelling gear I've tried has made me cry at how bad they were (shame I bought a POD unheard, can't stand the bloody thing now).

I own an Engl Thunder 50 and that thing blows me away everytime I hear it. The only set-up though thats really got me by the balls and hung me by them other than my own is any Cornford amp I've tried. The Hellcat was lovely although a little lacking in the features I'd need. The MK50H was perfect, I would rate it alongside any Engl I've played, Cornford are the only company I rate anywhere near Engl's.
