name me some 50 watt tube heads under $1500 US. I'm looking for 2 channel, preferably 3. Just start naming and I'll sort out as we go along.

I'm sure that I left some great ones out, but here's a start. And the used market in your price range opens you up to nearly anything you want.

Re: 50 watt heads
Orange Rockerverb 50...the best amp ever.
Or you could try it's little brother, the Rocker 30...breaks up a little sooner, costs a bit less...
You could score a blackface Bassman for that and have plenty left over to get a sweet boutique pedal...better than two channels to some people.
Or just get the Fender Supersonic...basically a Bassman with a sweet high-gain channel.
There's also Soldano's out there for that price, Hot Rod 50's and stuff like that. Really in that price range the world is your oyster.
Now get ready for all the Marshall and Mesa suggestions...

Don't mean to hijack thread but has anyone tried these? Are they Marshally or more like Vox's with El34 flavour or some other new beast!
