As long as you know a good amp tech, buying vintage for home/studio use
is considerably less stressful than touring with vintage amps, where you need
backups.
If you want great cleans at reasonable volumes, superb natural crunch
and wonderful with pedals, keep your eye out for a '65 Ampeg Gemini I
or a 63-65 Reverberocket.
I've had several highly experienced studio musicians tell me my
'64 Reverberocket is the best sounding amp they've ever played through.
It loves strats! The Gemini I is the 2 channel bigger brother.
Total invested $850.00 in each of them.
If you want bigger bolder David Gilmour cleans the Reeves all the way, but
they are not really meant to be played quietly.
