Okay, so I'm rethinking my entire philosophy towards my guitar and amp set up...and moving back towards what I was using 5 years ago before I started chasing certain specific tones...

For some reason I find myself drawn to the JTM45. I have had chance to play through an original a few years ago and remember it as being an amazing amp for blues, but what I want to know is how they handle more rock tones?

Think Bruce Springsteen type rawness with a Telecaster into the front end through a Tubescreamer. Easy enough to get?

Or is a JTM50 a better option and will this still get the bluesy tones the JTM45 is famed for?

Well, you can swap out the rectifier for a solid state one like mike at kcanostubes sells, and it will tighten the amp up substantially, throw a tubescreamer or similar in front of it and it could do some raw rock stuff. If you put a master volume on it, you can really get some crunch out of it as well.

Hope this helps!
