Members Steve the Hero Posted May 25, 2008 Members Share Posted May 25, 2008 Head or combo, doesn't matter. Preferably something to take pedals well. I want to do something spacey with a lot of reverb and delay. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members zygoat Posted May 25, 2008 Members Share Posted May 25, 2008 I should have said like an old Silverface Princton. Or any Fender tube amp really. Those new solid state Princestons kinda suck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Steve the Hero Posted May 25, 2008 Author Members Share Posted May 25, 2008 Hah the stupid link didn't say if it was tube. Hence it being so cheap. I'll keep lookin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mesa4x12er2 Posted May 25, 2008 Members Share Posted May 25, 2008 get a twin or a jc-120! btw thanks again for the power conditioner! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JoshuaLogan Posted May 25, 2008 Members Share Posted May 25, 2008 I need a tube amp No, you need to not be biased about something you apparently don't know about. JC-120's are awesome (for cleans only), and solid state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Steve the Hero Posted May 25, 2008 Author Members Share Posted May 25, 2008 get a twin or a jc-120!btw thanks again for the power conditioner! No problem, glad someone is getting use out of it. Any info on the jc-120 heads? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mesa4x12er2 Posted May 25, 2008 Members Share Posted May 25, 2008 even though it's not tube, it's the only clean I'd ever use besides a twin reverb. Try one out bro you won't be disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JBecker Posted May 25, 2008 Members Share Posted May 25, 2008 JC120 is just one kind of clean. I kind of don't care for it at all personally. But yeah, used Twin, Carvin X100 stuff has a great clean channel, just about any used Fender tube amp really, old Sound City stuff if you can find it, old Ampeg amps...

Members simbasa Posted May 25, 2008 Members Share Posted May 25, 2008 Nobody said Fender DRRI? Not enough clean headroom if you want to play live. Twin Reverb ...no problemo. I would go with a Fender over the Roland but try them out for yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RICK330MAN Posted May 25, 2008 Members Share Posted May 25, 2008 In that price range, the ubiquitous Fender Hot Rod Deluxe or the Fender Blues junior. Properly set up, they'll give you beautiful cleans. And yes, I am biased. I own two of the HRDs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members glenecho Posted May 25, 2008 Members Share Posted May 25, 2008 As far as Tube vs. SS goes, it really depends on what kind of cleans you need. If you're playing blues and need something to react against your strat, the obviously a Fender tube amp will be great. But if you're a metal guy who wants something for clean arpeggiated chords, never underestimate the value of a JC-120. They are THE amp for that {censored}. And yes...a DRRI in fact doesn't have enough headroom for a lot of live gigs. It will start breaking up too soon. In fact, I've even had that problem even with BF Twins before. Want NO breakup at all? Get a silverface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The JC120 doesn't have to sound all chorused out and 80's like metallica cleans or whatever. I actually think you could probably get it sounding great for ambient music...

Members Puddlegum Posted May 25, 2008 Members Share Posted May 25, 2008 Carvin X amp. Either an X100B or X60B head will do. The XV and XT combos rule as well. I've got an X60B head and I love it. I A/B'd it against a Fender 75, a DR, and a Twin and I like the Carvin a whole lot more. The heads run 200-400, same with the combos on the used market. They did just re-release the X amps new for 600 or so. I've heard very good things about the new ones, but for the price....I'd rather have an 80's model.

Members joel3000 Posted May 25, 2008 Members Share Posted May 25, 2008 F-50 cleans are killer. It's like a Fender with a real high gain lead channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Steve the Hero Posted May 25, 2008 Author Members Share Posted May 25, 2008 Damn I leave and all these posts appear. I'm leaning towards Fender but I'm deciding if I want another head or to just go the route of a combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mesa4x12er2 Posted May 25, 2008 Members Share Posted May 25, 2008 for clean definately go with a combo man. I'm not a big fan of cleans through a 4x12, or even a closed back 2x12 for that matter.Fender twin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
