Try this one......If you wanted a used combo with a 1X12 (or better) that had plenty of headroom (more than enough to keep up with a drummer, bass, other guitar) has a great clean sound, all tube, and works great with pedals, for less than say $800 used. Wht would that be? A couple of my picks:
Mesa Boogie DC-5: Helluva nice loud, deep, clean channel with a bonus rectifier like dirty channel (that I would probably never use). Built like a tank.
Fender Blues Deville: A LOUD 4X10 Bassman circuit amp that, with some judicious tube changing, can get some decent clean tones all for about 500 bucks.
Rivera 55 and related combos. Fender AND marshall sounds in a 1X12.
Some of the Peavey classic tube combos.
Others?
