Let's assume all of these cost the same used...or close enough:

DRRI
Supersonic
1981 Pro Reverb

Which one of these would you get?

I play a lot of rock and blues - the main thing I'm looking for is John Mayer like cleans, and an amp that takes pedals well, as I use them for my primary dirt.
Home to gig ratio is 70/30
Oh, and this isn't adding to a collection...I'm pretty much a one amp guy.

Supersonic. Its the most modern out of the three and it has an effects loop plus a gain channel. Takes pedals great

But it is a bit loud. though

The DRRI is also pretty good too but always seemed to lack balls to me.

Why have you just chosen those three amps though?

Because I've found all three of them used in the same price range. The only one I haven't played in a store yet is the 81 Pro Reverb...Not many reviews out there on this one.

+1 DRRI. Great basic tone, brings pedals to LIFE.
