Re: best amp for clean sounds
Any number of Fender amps. I am partial to Super and Deluxe reverb models for cleans. Crunch is a different story.
Marshall JTM 45.
Roland Jazz Chorus is one of my faves. I had one back in the 1980s.
Lotta people like Vox cleans, but overall I just do not like the VOX sound...ymmv.I'm an internet person. All we do is waste time evaluating things that have next-to-zero real world significance.

Re: best amp for clean sounds
I'm assuming you are looking at current production amps. I'd go for an older amp, like a Silverface Deluxe reverb. One before the pull boost mess. Also have an older Marshall Plexi 50 watt RI with aftermarket OT that sounds really nice.Comment

Re: best amp for clean sounds
You left out Hiwatt. They are incredible as clean amps. I wouldn't consider them "other" either.

Re: best amp for clean sounds
I like the deluxe reverb, but a twin is a great sounding amp too.Join me in the fight against muscular atrophy!

Re: best amp for clean sounds
Depends on how you define "clean" I never play with a spankin totally clean tone. There is always some dirt in my sound even then the best clean I have ever had was from a Matchless Superchief 120... That is one amp I regret selling."It keeps you fit - the alcohol, nasty women, sweat on stage, bad food - it's all very good for you." -Bon Scott
"Let me put it this way: the 5150 will treat
you better than any girlfriend, because it screams louder, it's easier to pick up, and it shuts up when you take your plug out." -Rip GlitterComment

Re: best amp for clean sounds
I have a Mark V and I voted for the 65 TR. If you want a huge (and loud) clean tone, there is no equal.
The Mark V's clean channel is astoundingly good though.Band: www.colouredanimal.com

Re: best amp for clean sounds
I'm actually liking the clean channel of my EVH 5150 III 50 watt- once you turn the gain down its got the classic Fender clean because, well, it's made by FenderComment
