I am a guitarist seeking your wisdom. I am currently in the market for a whole new set up to match my new Gibson ES335 Dot Reissue.
What amp would best be suited to it's dulcet tones? This would be used for a gigs in moderately sized venues but hopefully with decent headphones at home also.
One suggetion I would offer is the Fender 65 Deluxe Reverb Reissue. It's a 22-watt tube amp that takes pedals quite well. They're reasonably priced at about $1,000 new and can go used around $700 in excellent condition.
I'll add that to a list of ones to try, if it's THAT good maybe I can survive without the headphone jack. Thanks, that's just the right price range I'm looking for too!
An old UK made DSL. On so many back lines. Lots of great tones and a great pedal slut. I bought one as a wet amp. After playing with it a while, I actually dug it quite a bit.
Even homeboy JB plays a DSL on the sly while other makers paying the bills are in high viz on the stage.
