In the next year or 2 I'll either be moving to an all-digital rig that goes straight to PA with no cabs to carry, or shelling out for a Soldano SLO-100 half stack and some ridiculous MIDI switching setup with rack effects. Probably the former, instant setup/teardown and less shit to worry about going wrong.
I used to have a lot of modern amps and cabinets, the usual 4x10's 2x12's SWR rigs and what not which sounded loud and clean but I play a very Sabbathy/Sleep style of music so I needed to find a rig that was suitable for a mammoth low-end sound. As you can imagine I'm running through Sunn amps and 2x15's so I'm pushing out some major dirtgrind low-end at my place.

It's not too uncommon though anyone that plays stoner/doom/sludge metal tends to stick around old vintage amplifiers or brands such as Orange, Mata-amp, Laney, and Sunn because of they're tailored to give that classic 60's-70's fuzz distortion and heavy bass response.
