To me, tweed amps are definitely way above the rest, but I think seeing a beat-up Silverface Super or Twin Reverb on stage is always bad-ass and catches my eye. The Blackface is classy, but a lot of amps have the bf look... even if they aren't "blackface" (Hot Rods, for example). Even though there are some tweed amps that aren't "tweed", they aren't seen as often and even when they are, they still look cool.

I like the look of the silverface bronco amp

It has red lettering and more knobs than a champ, which has a strange too-sparse look to its controls.

The deluxe reverb is the sexiest amp. It has good proportions.

BF are sexy in their simplicity. They don't have to compensate for anything because they sound so good. Like how a beautiful woman looks best in a simple black dress.

The blue voxes are sexy too.

No I was talking about something like the GV-22 Gemini. I can't figure how to post a picture.
The old Ampegs are cool looking.

There's a guy in New York that builds some amps and guitars that are simply put, works of art. Here are a couple amps from his FB page.

My Tone King was pretty amazing looking, but this amp I had was pretty sweet.

Knobby · April 25th, 2012, 02:59 PM

Then again...I still have this one.

'56 Fender Pro Amp. Killer!

And my stage gear. Matching Maz Jr (5th one made) and my pedal steel amp, a split Twin with a JBL 15". Green Tolex, Salt and Pep cloth, piping.

To me, amps and guitars are like people and become more or less attractive as you spend time with them. That being said, a first gen. Peavey Delta Blues is sexy as hell.
