Hi all , im new to this forum so bear with me :-) ,, im after a single channel valve head and im very interested in the JTM45 / 50 ... i just have a few questions which i hope you guys can help me with .
First , how much clean headroom is available on these amps Huh? is there more on the 50 ?? is there a tone difference between the  two ??
I play professionally so i need an amp thats going to cut it live .. i currently use a 1990 Les Paul standard into Boss TU-2 - Morley Bad Horsie - Fulltone Fulldrive 2 (anniversary model) - Tc  Electronics Nova Delay - Fulltone Choral Flange - Amp (mesa single rectifier.. for sale atm .. lol )  - Cornford 2x12 Cab with Vintage 30's

I really want the Cornford MK50 mk2 head .. but at £2000 its just too expensive .. lol  and the Mesa just sounds crap ..

Hope you guys can help

Even a 30 watt amp has quite a bit of clean headroom and can be heard on stage. 100 watt tube head isn't really all that, its only 3 db louder than a 50 watt head, but then its probably better if you're one of those types who plays cleans all the time.

You could also get a Fender twin reverb, I heard those got tons of clean headroom.

I really like the clean sound on a Fender twin reverb.. but I hated the fact that it won't distort no matter what, even if you turn it to intolerable volume. I guess you could use a twin reverb and a pedal...

the amount of clean headroom is about the same. the 50n is abit brighter and more aggressive than the 45. it has a bit more distortion and is a little tighter. the 50 is more rock while the 45 is more blues. if you play in a loud 2 guitar band, I'd recommend the 50

I also am in a twist about whether to get the 45 vs the 50. Is the 45 only 45 watts? I play indie rock in the vein of at the drive in and head automatica, so having just a good overdrive isnt going to cut it. I  use alot of delay and need alot of definition for hammer on/pull of type lines. I play a fender jazzmaster and  a custom First Act Delia.
any recomendations?
lookin to place my order thursday  Grin

The JTM45 was originally considered about 30 watts, and today, due to higher wall voltages and other factors they're typically considered about 35 watts.
