Ok,here's the thing. For years I've been playing my Peavey JSX head. And I sold it back ago,couse I changed my style of playing and I changed guitar. Since this new style requires new amp,I was thinking about "ultimative" clean. And there it started.. about 5 years ago,one famous recording producer had a gig with his band. He had his Fender on stage. Since we were band who played before him,we used same gear. My friend played his Fender. Clean was f**king HUGE! Very warm! Balsy! Best clean I've ever tried. The thing is: I don't know which Fender amp is this. :( I remember it was probably tube,probably 1x12 combo. I 100% remember it had 2 chanells (Overdrive sucked - it was really dark),2 button footswitch. Anyway: here's the picture. I could use help to identify this amp. Tnx. :) I would buy you a beer or two,but you're not in my country. :D

Looks like the Hot Rod Dlx to me also, and your description of good cleans and lousy OD is my take on that amp as well. YMMV

Why don't you built a Hot Rod Deluxe if you like it ?

Or for the clean channel , use any blackface schematic / layout

Honestly,I tried few Fenders,and the best clean (for now,and for me) is from HRDlx.

I just like clean,and Overdrive is just wierd. There are few overdrive chanells which I like more. :)

And 40W tube is just overkill for me. I had 50W amp,it's damm too loud,30W also. So I've done 15W 2 EL84. :) Great sound from EL84,I like it a lot.

Two or three selected preamp tubes can make a big improvement. Depending on your taste, a 5751 in V1, and/or another in V2, with a 12AT7 in V3 can make a nice difference.
