Members teemuk Posted August 18, 2012 Members Share Posted August 18, 2012 Tie between Peavey and Randall. Fender as a decent third. Depending on your taste, you may really not need pedals with either three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TheRymanChu Posted August 18, 2012 Members Share Posted August 18, 2012 Between those three, go with the Peavey. Nirvana did use the Commander around the time of Bleach though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jamminjohn Posted August 18, 2012 Members Share Posted August 18, 2012 The Peavey Special is a decent amp for cleans. My stereo chorus has two of them in it( in my avi) and its pretty nice. And I use lots of pedals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kissmyace Posted August 18, 2012 Members Share Posted August 18, 2012 Had a Peavey like that, pretty solid cleans, good for pedals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JSutter Posted August 19, 2012 Members Share Posted August 19, 2012 If setting the amps up for cleans and using pedals, Id go with the Peavey. Fenders usually have better cleans but sound to hi-fi with dirt boxes. I can't comment on the Randall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ovid9 Posted August 19, 2012 Members Share Posted August 19, 2012 Don't know anything about the Peavey special 130 1x12, but the peavey special 212 was a pretty amazing SS amp. Good cleans, good drives, took pedals like a champ, I'd suggest soemthing like that. Honestly, if I didn't have other amps I liked more, the Special 212 is pretty much an amazing "base" amp. I could've done anything I wanted with it, just had other amps I liked more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members shammond Posted August 20, 2012 Members Share Posted August 20, 2012 I know it's not in your short list, but like Axel276 suggested - you ought to consider the Tech 21 Trademark 60. Great cleans, good with pedals. I gig with one all the time. Light weight. Can get loud and cuts through the mix, most people can't tell its not a tube amp. Not exactly cheap, but worth the little extra $. imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
