But don't know which direction to go in...Right now I have a 15W Crate...SS...I want a warmer sound, bluesy...I kinda wanna go tube...and I wanna go vintage, or atleast, a re-issue...I love the look of older stuff, and I think I'm looking for an ice warm, tube tone out of maybe a Vox...

    take a look at Peavey tube amps
    "I'll do whatever the song dictates - if it doesn't need a real lead, then I won't do one. But if it does, then I'll fuckin' go off." - Mike

    "Japan is awesome; the fans there knew all the words to all the songs...at least phonetically." - Stone

    "I know this song so well, I can smoke a cigarette, have a drink, brush my teeth, take a shit, and mow the lawn while singing it. But I'll only be doing a couple of those things during this version." - EV

    Fender Blues Deluxe Reissue
    Fender Hot Rod Deluxe
    Peavey Classic 30
    Peavey Delta Blues
    Traynor YCV40(WR)
    Vox AC30CC (either 1x12 or 2x12, maybe a little expensive)

    I think these will really achieve your "bluesy" sound...most of it is the amp you use, but some of it is the guitar your using as well

    Call Teddy Gordon at Maken Music and ask him to play the "champ" he has. They are around 900 bones, but they sound soooo good!

    I've had mine for 6 or so years. Celestion vintage speakers, open back, smooth as can be over drive, descent clean. You can put it in the Peavey and Traynor class.


    How ever it can get way to much over drive for me (but I'm old!), I run it worse case at about 4 out of ten.

    My problem right now is its 50 watts, and I'm starting to out grow the higher wattage tube amps, and am falling in love with the 20 watt tube amps and cranking them on 10. Buddy of mine has an old Gibson Minuteman, and that thing just sounds like a million bucks.
