Vox and Fender amps have great clean channels... Are you looking for a combo amp or a head + cabinet?

Good clean, how about Fender Hotrod Deville?
Or if you can appreciate the distorion from the amp rather than from pedals you can get a Marshall JVM 2xx (50 or 100 watts) that fit your budget. 50 watts on this if you don't need the extra clean headroom. You'vet got the Peavey Classic as a 50 watt -------------------- My bands homepage

QUOTE (eaglesnh4 @ Feb 21 2011, 01:08 AM)  i will be using pedals for my distortion, i play blues & rock. While we're at it I am sure you can get ten times better distortion from a £1000 amps crunch channel than you ever will with distortion pedals even if you spend your £900 on a pedal and £100 on a clean amp. No matter how good a distortion pedal is it seems to suck the soul out from any tube amp. Just yesterday I was playing through a HT-Dual pedal into the clean channel of my Hughes & Kettner Switchblade since we’re preparing for a gig where we’re for convenience will be using the amps/PA and drums on site instead of bringing our own stuff. All in all the sound I get is ok as long as I don’t get tempted to kick in the crunch or lead channel of the amp to realize what a path of failure I’m on. So if I should give you any good advice at all it’s be to skip the distortion pedal and get an amp that has both the clean and the crunch you’re looking for. Especially if you’re looking to get a good sound. If there’s no end in itself to run a distortion pedal for whatever other reason? I think the recipe spells tube amp (Marshall?) with an OD pedal -------------------- My bands homepage

I would recommend a tube Marshall with 50 watts of power. Having a 100w tube amp can be a bit contra productive. As It will be too loud and you just won't be able to turn it up enough (to get the best tone from a tube amp you have to crank it) on rehearsals and on gigs. On every gig the guitar amp is mic-ed and goes into PA system. Stage volume has to be medium for a good sound. You won't be able to crank 100W amp too much (it will eat every other instrument on stage and be uncomfortable). It will actually be usefull only on big stage/outdoor gigs.
Check for a all tube marshal in the store and try it out. I recommend the combo version for easy of transport. Though if you don't like Marshal clean sound and want to stick to pedals for drive, check out the mentioned Fenders. ENGL amps have a very good clean too, though a bit cold sounding. -------------------- For GMC support please email support (at) guitarmasterclass.net
