Suggest me an amp

[hellatone]

I've got a Music Man 210/65 which has got beautiful cleans. I've also got a Peavey Classic 20 which has a very nice overdriven sound using a master volume set-up. The problem is that the C20 is 15-watt and doesn't cut it for playing out. Can you guys suggest for me an amp that has that dirty overdriven sound but more power?

really? i only ask because i've got a Classic 30 and it definitely does not have the sound the C20 puts out. I don't even use it anymore, but i love the C20.

Are you looking for an all tube amp?

If so, I'd probably go with a Fender HRD with a good distortion pedal for more dirt.

F-30 Fo sho.

You might also consider getting a second C20.
(or stack four C20s -- oooh, wall of sound)

a second classic 20 is a very good option

Jimmy, do you think this combo is overpriced?

doh! that's a great idea -- why didn't i think of that? how would you hook in to both of them?

Re: Suggest me an amp

either get a pedal or run a cable from input 2 on one amp to input 1 on the other

The Classic 20's are a different sounding amp, as was mentioned.

I don't believe there's channel switching and I think the reverb circuit is different on it. I could be wrong though.

But I'm certain there's enough of a different between them to be notable.

A second C20 sounds like it might be the path of least resistance.
