Almost all fenders have great clean tone that gets pretty dirty and crunchy when you crank it, or a nice drive channel. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

But I've heard many great fender amps aswell, and the fender vibrolux has an especially nice clean tone. Reece, you could search videos of these amps from youtube, and compare them that way. There's many videos of the Vibrolux and Laney VC30, and probably from the ashdown too I hope you will find what you're looking for -Toni You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Dec 9 2007, 01:09 AM	GMC:er Posts: 7 Joined: 7-December 07	hey guys, sorry for the late reply. been really busy with work! well as its christmas coming up i only have about £375 to spend on a amp. so a decent fender is out the question really, but ive seen the laney vc30 212 for £375 brand new, and the ashown for £300 brand new. ive researched loads, and looked at vids, but they seem too have good reviews for both. but i think the laney just wins, over the ashown.... any second opinions?

EDIT: it's a 1x10 but if you want to get a cabinet later on that's possible. Or maybe you were aiming for class A? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Dec 9 2007, 04:43 AM	GMC:er Posts: 299 Joined: 1-June 07	I agree with many others here. Fender amps have perhaps the best clean tones in the market. Let me know what kind of music you like to play and I can suggest specific Fender Amps to look at as I have played most of them. However, if your hard set on those two amps I'd go the Laney route.

Dec 9 2007, 03:21 PM	GMC:er Posts: 7 Joined: 7-December 07	i cant really live with 15 watts, as i gig alot. i was mainly looking for class A amps, for there tone. so it looks like the laney wins =] i shall update soon as i get it. also on the side note, whats peoples views on the standard tele pick-ups? over the noiseless ones? when i first got the tele about 3 weeks ago, i was abit dissapointed with the neck pick up, it sounded really muddy and the bridge pick was really bright. ive tried playing around with the tone knobs on my amps but i cant seem to get the sound im looking for. perhaps it would be worth while getting some better pick ups?
