| amp search, warm, full, clean tone, medium volume I'm looking for a amp for stuff such as Blues/Rock Hendrix, Rhcp, Buddy Guy, Etc,. Really I want a amp with a great warm full clean sound. Spring Reverb is a must have. And medium output level, so i can still do recording but also do a decent size of gigs around 1000$ price range |

| Pretty much sounds like the perfect description of a Carr Rambler. I've also recently heard someone play a nice Fargen, small thingie, but I can't remember what model.

| a silver faced princeton or deluxe reverb will get you there for sure, and save you $400 to boot.

| Well you're decribing several amps there and trying to get one to do it all, not easy and then limiting things further with your budget. For Fender cleans and blues overdrive tones at pushed volumes, you're looking at amps based on a 6V6 or 6L6 power section. For the warmer Hendrix tones, really you're looking at something in a 30-50 Marshall based circuit running 4XEL84's or 2 EL34's , KT 66's or KT88's Just about any amp in that price range is going to be PCB based if you want band worthy volumes. For a dedicated recording amp, you may be able to get away with something smaller in a single ended Class A low wattage amp. In your case, in that budget, I'd recommend looking at the Marshall Circuit offerings from Ceriatone. All hand wired and numerous options available from a well respected builder.

| It's tough trying to get you into something well built in that price range. As far as USA built better Fender Circuits The Gries 20 and Gries 35 are outstanding all hand wired improved Fender circuits with Reverb and Master Volume. Pricing The other amp that comes to mind is the Allen Accomplice Allen Amplification - Accomplice Amp For more of the 18 watt Marshall/Hiwatt tones, I'd still reach for the Reeves Custom 18 www.reevesamps.com - Reeves Custom 18 Also take look at the Reinhardts. Amps

| what about the Koch studiotone? anyone ever try it? it's sorta in that $ range . . . I had a budda superdrive 18 and it was SO noisy it was unusable. What about a soldano Astroverb or THD univalve? I've had both. great amps (just got the univalve, it's a sweet amp. . . ) edit: i didn;t see the thing about spring verb - that would rule out the THD . . .

| While you're looking at the suggestions above, also check out the all hand wired amps from VVT Amps. The Fralin and Blue Belaire models are great for cleans.
