Good day,
I'm in the market for a good 6v6 amp (prolly 6v6).
What I want is Blackface-style cleans, but somewhat vintage-y overdrive that is tight and smooth without being harsh.
I found the Mesa Fillmore 25, but was wondering if there were other similar amps that will do a good late 70s/early 80s rock and SRV-style blues, but also deliver a decent approximation of classic blackface cleans.
I'm not against a speaker swap (I use currently use a 1x12" with a Celestion V-Type), but would prefer not to. Fender uses the V-Type for their '68 Custom Reverb and I really liked it's clean tone, but the overdrive wasn't to my taste personally.
I would prefer a head vs a combo, the budget is $2K, and wattage limit (lowest amp setting) is 30W because of the attenuator I ordered.
Thanks for the tips and advice!
