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

    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.

    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
