Our Neighbor Totoro
Looking for something tube, that can do low volume and loud, that will do cleans with a little dirt and a classic rock to early heavy metal kind of gain. Reverb is a big plus, or fx loop to get reverb pedal later. Combo amp prefered.
Options I'm leaning towards
Peavey Valveking II 20W. I have demo'd it and like it a good bit but it's not stellar. Cheap, very versatile. Decent cleans and decent drive.
Fender Bassbreaker 15. Haven't played this yet but reviews and stuff lead me to believe I'd really like it.
Orange Rocker 15. Same as above, haven't played it, but features look good and sound clips/vids look good. cons: 10" speaker.
Marshall DSL40c. Used to own a DSL50 head. I miss it. I like the low end snap of the bigger tubes i.e. it's not el84. decent cleans, great drive.
Fender SuperSonic 22: I have played one and really liked it. Great cleans and decent drive. cons: more expensive
Or15 and PPC112: Used to own the OR15. Loved it. Cons: cleans are ok, but the drive is excellent! same price basically as the super sonic or a little more.
I also considered the Egnater Tweaker combo, owned one before and I like it but it's a little spongey. And the Super champ X2. really affordable, doesn't need to be cranked, very versatile, but not all tube and I have a Champion 20 still which is very similar, same preamp modeling sounds just all digital/ss and smaller size.
I will be mostly playing in my house and garage out in the country so I can crank these things all at least halfway, but I like quiet practice too.
I like a wide variety of tones but mostly 70s Stones, some Zeppelin, and all eras of Clapton stuff. Guitars are a squire strat and jazzmaster, and epiphone les paul.
Really torn... i think it's down to either the DSL or Supersonic, SS is a bit more expensive but the cleans are so good. Which do I want to focus on, cleans or drive? I used to own a DRRI and the clean sound was addictive. But so was the green crunch channel on DSL. Help me think this through please!
