Preferably a head but a combo might be ok
Preferably 6L6 but 6V6 power tubes might be ok
Stupid simple - 1 channel with loud, clear, cleans.
Reverb not necessary
Reliable
I don't care about PtP -- circuit board is just fine
No bullshit "vintage" markup and I don't want to have to re-cap an old amp first thing. I know that probably rules out a lot of silverface Fenders that otherwise fit the bill.
Bargain - in the $300 neighborhood is ideal.
I'm wanting to use this as an amp for my Godin Fifth Avenue. The Peavey Classics I have are great with solid-bodies but just too middy for the archtop. I want less mids and a more focused "thumpy" bass.
Honestly, I'm not ruling out solid state. It's just that a Jazz Chorus 120 is too much. I might jump on one of the smaller ones if it shows up used.
What about the Sovteks or maybe a Carvin?
