Looking For A Small Combo Amp For Fusion Tones

Hi guys!

Like the topic suggests I'm looking for a small combo amp for home usage that can deliver smooth fusion tones.
Just spent way too much money on a couple of guitars (a Suhr Pro M and a Fender Strat) so a cheaper amp would be perfect. I've got access to bigger amps when needed, but would like a tube amp that can be played at home without risking my life (the ol' wife) and can take pedals like a champ.

The tone I'm gunning for is something like GMC's Stephane Lucarelli, possibly some Tom Quayleish type of sound.
I'll use a few boutique overdrives to get the overdrive I need, so I guess i'm after a small amp with a really good clean tone.

I've been looking at the Fender Blues Junior a bit - do you think it'd do the job? Would probably mic it up and record a bit with it too. Other amp suggestions would be lovely too.

Sort of off-topic, but I'm also in need of a really nice delay pedal to go with the amp, so if you have any advice there too I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks!

What Guitar Do You Recommend?

Hey guys, first post coming up!

After being away from playing the guitar for about 10 years, I decided to start fresh and trade my 62 american strat for a les paul traditional with the intention of playing some heavy rock/metal. It's just that ... I realised I'm not THAT into metal, and the guitar isn't as comfortable as when I first picked it up.

My style of playing has been almost exclusively texas blues, but I'm starting to feel "been there, done that" and it doesn't offer that much in terms of technical improvement. So after this metal phase I've found myself listening more and more to fusion and progressive rock and I'm starting to feel that I chose the wrong guitar. I've been checking out the Ibanez SV series (which shouldn't cost me anything since my LP is worth about as much as the Ibanez) and have to say that they look really good and seem to play well too. Have any of you guys got any experience with them?

I consider myself to be a fairly advanced player with decent technical skills - as much as you can get from playing the blues AND being a lefty playing right handed.

So my question is really if the Ibanez SV is a guitar worth checking out or are there any other in the same price range that would suit me better?
