Cleanest sounding Fender Tube Amp

Twin Reverb is the cleanest. Also the Vibro-King and Vibrolux.
For a mid-priced amp, listen to the hot-rod deluxe clean channel.

The Princeton great for recording or small venues. The pro tube Twin clean channel 100 tube watts of ear shattering, wall rattling, neighbor's dog howling, bell bottom waving, gut busting clean... Never turn past 3 or 4 inside unless you want to pick up all the broken picture frames and glass that will majically appear on your floor after 12 bars and a turnaround.

Some solid state amps have great cleans, but overall, I'm going to generally have to give tube amps the decision in providing the better clean tones. I don't think that running a load of effects into a tube amp would make you lose half the benefit of tubes as long as the effects are of great quality and have quality components in them. David Gilmour sounded great loading a bunch of effects over his clean tube amps.

Hey, I have a Champ 12 with all the tores mods, but I also have a '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, I LOVE THIS AMP! I have the controls set as: Volume 6, Treble 6, Mid 6, Bass 3, Reverb 2. The perfect sound. I can play anything out of that amp. I've even run the Champ 12 though the Twin for that added punch, That Twin Reverb is a workhorse, and the best sounding amp I've ever had.

I'm using a 65 Twim Reverb (blond) for gigs and have been for 5+ years, and I would agree with my fellow strat drivers. I've tried getting a clean tone with other 6L6 power amps, like the B-52 half stack, but when I needed to trade up it was always the Fender Twin (heavy beast) that stayed. I would recomend a THD Hot Plate attentuater with a twin, which helps it to break up the tubes way before your ears bleed.

Another mention I would recomend trying out a Peavey Classic 30, or a Delta Blues 115. Much easier to lug around and has a real nice "fender" clean to it . The Delta Blues is a rettle trap but does real nice after a few minor mods like tube dampers.

Oh yeah, I agree with using a hot plate too.

The old bandmasters are clean and loud. Listen to Dick Dale--Dual Showman amps.
Hey, anyone tried the new VM amp?

So presumably the same could be said of running a solidstate amp with a great valve powered preamp pedal such as the mesa Vtwin. Its simply not the case. When you go throwing pedals into the mix all but valve drives lose their niceties to my ear. The best powerstage in the world can be ruined by pedal selection. Look at all them glamrock bands of the 80's. George lynch n co. Some of the worst sounds i've ever heard commited to tape. They were using valve amps. I've never heard a valve amp give a bad all clean sound even the earliest marshall tran amps did a good job of clean. Just not mildly driven to any degree.

Please name some quality, professional solid-state amps suitable for rock. I've never tried a pro-quality solid-state amp except for the Roland 2X12--which didn't inspire me. Any suggestions?

If you're not impressed by the Roland JC-120 then I doubt any solid state combo amp will please you. But a lot of artists disagree. Even artists that are not known for clean tone.

Frankly I think this love for tube amps is a religion. I have both tube and solid state amps. I use them for different purposes but one is not inherently superior to the other.
