Hi all,
Looking for a rack power amp. Preferrably with 6L6's. Something that can give me a good clean Blackfaced Fender sound.
Prefer tube, but open to solid state. BUT......I get the sense that with most "American" voiced amps, the preamp stays clean, and its the power tube distortion that gets you where you want to go....hence, the preference for tubes. Although, if I am wrong, let me know
I am only aware of the Carvin TS100, Mesa 2:50/2:90, and Fryette amps. I am leaning towards a 2:50 as a 100w tube power amp might be too heavy. Plus, I like that Mesa is close by for servicing....
What are some other tube options?
For solid state I am aware of the Matrix amps (used to have one) and the Quilter Tone Block (have one, LOVE it as a portable solution).
What else is out there that might be a good fit? I will be running it with an Ethos Clean as the pre....but I may add a Twin Reverb preamp down the line....
So, what else is out there?
