ok so um amp help again

gimmie a an amp, that has a great clean tone...a decent yet maybe below avg overdrive, since ill be running my DS-2 and TS9 through the clean tone...something with a basic clean tone, i dont need that blues stuff (hot rod deville although im looking at it)

i prefer tube but solid state will be fine...something 800$ or less...i want 50-75 watts...some amps are switchable from 15watts to 50watts, thats cool...most likely it will be a combo amp...2 10inch, 2 12inch, or 4 10inch speakers...not 1 speaker

i prefer something new too, not off ebay

thanks,
joe

    fender 100 watt amp

    its in musicians friend and american music supply magazines and usually on sale. I don't feel like running to find the technical name now...

    Its my amp and i love it. 3 channels of overdrive (clean, dirty, very dirty) and a footswitch included.

    do you need a speaker cab too, or just an amp?

    do you want only new amps, or would you consider something used?

    Fender Twin Amp, Fender Twin Reverb, Fender Pro Sonic.

    I have a mild preference for blackface Fenders clean...

    Well, you'll laugh at me for suggesting it, but... Peavey TransTube, but NOT TransTube EFX.

    I listed ebay auctions because for what you want, you're not going to find much of anything in your price range.

    Good luck though :)

    Why do you need more than one speaker? that alone is going to cut into your budget in a big way.

    A good 1x12 combo can sound as good if not better than just about anything...and they record much better too.

    Just a thought. Go for what you know man. You live in NY...there's a TON of good shops in the city where you could try out some used gear ;)

    nice. Beautiful. The problem with vintage stuff is unless you are collecting and don't care you never know how it sounds until you plug in. That's a badass amp though.

    I've found a 67 silverface deluxe that sounds every bit as good as any blackface I've played and becuase it's a silverface it's a grand cheaper.

    I just remembered that the shop I deal with here is selling a silverface Super Reverb that looks like it's in good shape, and I think they recently reduced the price to $800. It'd cost a mint to ship, though...

    I'm new to this message pit thing but a long time pearl jam fan, and for you guys looking for an outstanding amp at a great price look at the peavey Ultra Plus, its 120 watts tube power and the heads run onn e-bay alone for about 200$ and te cabs for the same, i own one and a heritage 212 peavey tube amp, and anyone looking for something with versitile sound that can be heard for miled and can be thrown out of a car and still work like it did before-hand, i recommend it, e-mail me for more info sound_scape@cox.net

    p.s. im in a band in texas and we recently lost our 2nd guitarist, and vocalist, anyone who is free and would like to help it would be greatly appreciated
