Looking for a nice clean amp tone

[Jazz Rock]

I will be looking for a new amp, in the month to come.

Pierre's suggestion grew on me and I would be looking into having a single channel amp with a disto pedal in front. Probably on e of the cooltron from Vox. I like the idea of the two disto channels on the pedal itself.

So what would you suggest as a good clean tone amp that would not be too pricy... like less than £200 (350$). I know, it is not much but that's all I could afford at the moment.
Anyway, I need a small one as I mainly play alone at home and do a few jam session here and there, so no need to put much more.

Any suggestion?

The Cube Emulates its JC amps pretty well if u want that kind of clean sound.
But Vox Valvetronix emulate vox amps (well DuH) very well and in my opinion VOX's have great clean. U can also use pedals (inbuilt into the valvetronix) and trun them on/off with the footswitch. If u wanted to u could check out www.valvetronix.com because the Audition Room lets u listen to various settings.

used Fender Blues Deville or Deluxe......or Hotrod Deville or Deluxe. They have a great clean channel, and decent OD channels. Even Coldplay uses them.
They offer the best clean w/reverb tone you can get for the $350 price range.

Then, wait till the new Duncan Tube Classic OD comes out, and get that.

+1 for the Hot Rod deluxe has a good clean channel for the money.

The Hot Rod Deluxe has a cool clean and gorgeous reverb. It is of course, hella loud.

Re: Looking for a nice clean amp tone

Thanks for your replies guy. I am gonna through them in order while getting an eye on the respective website.

First of, I am not interested in a digital amp with effects. I already got a V-amp. It's fun, practical when You can't bring your amp along. But I am not a big fan of digitally emulated sounds.

Re: Looking for a nice clean amp tone

I forgot to mention, I am more looking in a 15-30W amp as it will give me better sound at lower volume. And I amsure I will get enough headroom to play with friends... Anyway, I would still have the Marshall 80W in case. If it abides this long.

Gearjoneser, I looked into the Fender Hot-rod series. I think the one you pointed out have too much features, and I checked the price on a UK site... They have a problem of conversion for them $325 is approximately worth £300 ???
I have seen on Fender's website, they also got the Blues junior. What do you think about this one. Does it also have the sweet Fender clean tone?

The new classic 30 is out of my league...

I am not looking espacially for a tube amp... anything that can float my boat as long as it more or less fit my brief.

Could you tell me a bit more about the Fender Blues junior?

Again, I think this is a step too far for my bank account... and probably my neighbours.
