    Alright. I'm leaning either towards a Bassman or a Twin of some sort.

    This is why the YCV40WR and the 50BLUE keep popping back into my head :)

    I'm in the same boat. What kind of overdrive would be good? A tubescreamer?

    I personally hated the TS-9. I sold it within the same week I got it.

    If you got a strat I love the sound of the BD-2.
    If you got a humbucker guitar the OCD works great.

    The Menatone Red Snapper is my next overdrive I think. Either that or the Dirty Blonde (which sounds like that vintage fender od sound).

    I personally can't say because I don't have as much experience with overdrive pedals as some people on here do. I also had the Boss DS-2....i liked it when I had my solid state but now with a tube amp it had to go! The Fulltone Distortion Pro was a nice pedal for that high distortion sound with a little crunch, just wasn't my sound.

    You would probably like the Fulltone Fulldrive-2

    The greedtone sounds nice too, which I think I might get once the next batch comes around.

    I love that Foxy Brown, it's different than the other 2 obviously but I think that would sound just great in front of a Fender amp.

    Peavey Valveking is decent. Just decent. For your money, you can probably spend $200 more and get so much more out of the amp.

    You know my feeling about the 50BLUE...

    Out of everything I have seen you try and play over the past YEAR! :eek:

    I would look at the Traynors (obviously) and the Fender Blues Deluxe RI...because these are great amps and in your price range! ;)

    But seriously, your doing the right thing...I think its been since I got my amp last year that you were looking!! one day you will be satisfied :D
