Im looking for an amplifier

Yes sorry Pathfinder , not AC10.

GEAR:
  • Squier 40th Anniversary Jazzmaster Vintage Edition
  • Fender Hot Rod Deluxe IV
  • EarthQuaker Devices Plumes

Again, since we're speaking of solid state as well as tube amps, everyone should try a Quilter. It's hard to believe those tiny amps aren't tube amps or digital modelers, but they're just well designed to behave like a tube amp.

If you need a portable combo for gigging:

quilterlabs.com/collections/guitar-amplifiers/products/aviator-cub-us

They go for about 500 USD used.

I've never seen an Aviator Cub combo in person so if someone knows of a store near them that carries Quilter amps, please try this thing or the channel switching version and report back. Or if someone has the balls to order one as their new amp without trying it in person, let's see some youtube videos. I own a 100 dollar microblock 45 as a backup amp and it sounds impressive... really amazing considering it's the size of an mxr pedal.

I've posted a variation of this in all 3 amp recommendation threads. Someone try or buy a Quilter Aviator Cub in either flavor and report back.

GEAR:
  • Roland Juno-6
  • Gibson SG Standard
  • Vox AC30 Guitar Combo Amp

Do you have a serious budget? Because I'll tell you what, I was just playing my 1962 and it just kills. If you look around there are deals. The original JMI vox amps are just phenomenal for everything short of metal... well, you can do zep, queen and deep purple, just not lamb of god and probably not Metallica but maybe...

If you look around for awhile you can find one for a couple grand in player grade cosmetic condition that's mostly original parts. You'll probably never part with it

GEAR:
  • Roland Juno-6
  • Gibson SG Standard
  • Vox AC30 Guitar Combo Amp

Those are pretty tricky venues to have one amp to do both.

I can’t recommend the Tone Master Deluxe Reverb enough. The attenuator is so great for when I want to practice at home as it doesn’t mess with the tone. My pedalboard works great with it too as it’s such a clean amp. I’ve messed around with the direct out a bit and I’ve also used an adapter with the XLR out to use headphones.

Also, it’s really friggin loud if you’re playing out. But unlike the OG you can attenuate down to 5w or whatever to fit the room.
