I'm searching for a nice clean combo amp that takes pedals well. Reverb is a must. I am torn between many different amps and I'm looking for some opinions. My price range is really low, $250 tops. Preferably used so I can get a high wattage amp at a nice price. I like 2 speakers also. Some amps I've looked at: Roland JC 77, Peavey Studio Chorus 2 12, Peavey Studio Chorus 70, Peavey Classic VT, Fender Front Man, Some ampegs... Also overdrive/distortion is not needed on the amp because I will be using pedals. Looking for Clean headroom that doesn't get ice picky and has warm characteristics. I'm playing a Fender Strat through it... Any thoughts?

Fender Frontman 212R would fit the bill at $250 used.

Your price range will really limit you. Some of the old Peavey's with the "Trans Tube" technology are pretty slick. I'd look for some used Ampegs too. Really clean and really reliable too. The Ampeg Jet J 20 is nice. I tried at Sam Ash in NY and if I didn't take the train up it would have come home with me. Hand wired too. Most solid state amps just leave me cold except for the Peavey's.
