I am a jazz, jam band(Phish), and blues rock player. I am looking for an amp to basically do all of that. I run a pretty extensive pedal board so the amp will have to take pedals well. I am looking for something with tubes in it. I played and liked the Deluxe Reverb, but am worried about the headroom and if it will be loud enough. I would prefer the amp to stay clean as long as possible. What do you think?

The deluxe reverb has quite a bit of headroom.Mic it and it has headroom for days.

If you're worried and want more headroom, I'd go with the Super Reverb RI. A Twin is the ultimate in headroom, but in most situations it's overkill. But like the others have said, you can always mic it.

It depends on your budget, I'd say get a Fender if you want tube rattle, if you want to change out speakers and tubes. If you want a perfect amp, the way Fender used to make them, buy a Valvetrain.

Great yes, but serious overkill for most situations. I know this first hand.

I agree with 63supro,

At first I would go with the Super Reverb RI, That should cover the tonal range you require for those genres and more.

If you were going to mic an amp up, well I wouldn't bother buying anything bigger than a Blues Junior. I have used my BJ at open air gig's mic'd up and have received positive comments about it's tone..

I use a Fender Hotrod Deville 410 for big shows. The HRD gives me heaps of clean headroom that I need for 2 bands out of the 3 I play in...

Super Reverb if it's in your budget, Hotrod Deville if you need to be budget concious and Blues Junior if you don't mind running through a mic..

Good Luck..
