Hey guys, I am currently in the market for a new amp. I am looking to get a Keith Urban style base clean sound then add pedals for majority of dirt. Also, will be using it for some classic rock, a little country and some blues. The Keith type tone is the biggest thing for me. I am currently looking at a Vox AC30 Custom, does anyone know any other amps that would help get me to where I am looking to be? I had a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe, but got rid of it due to too many problems and to be honest, I got it used and didn't really dig the tone it was cranking out. Any help would be nice! Thanks

Oh and looking to spend 1000-1500 dollars. Thanks

""For the people wondering about how Keith get's his tone ... I got
this information direct from Scotty Huff ... a member in Keith's
Band ... and from watching Keith live ...

Keith's main component of sound are the nine (9) (yes, 9) Amp's
he uses. 7 of these amps are Matchless DC30 2x12 combo's Then
Keith has two Matchless 2x12 Cab's and a Matchless DC30 head
powering one of the cabs, and an old Marshall Plexi Head powering
the other. 6 of the amps face towards the audience and are directly
behind Keith. You can see the old Matchless head in the upper left
and the old marshall head in the upper right. the last 3 matchless
combo's are facing towards the back of the stage and they are behind
the wall of the 1st 6.

Now, as for effects...this is direct from Scotty...

He has 2 GCX loop switchers with a Bradshaw Foot Controller
Carl Martin Compressor
Cry Baby Wah Wah
Fulltone Overdrive (Blue)
Fulltone Overdrive (Yellow - with comp settings)
Phaser
Line 6 Echo Pro
