ahhh..sounds great! yet complicated.. im sure nik would know what to do right? thanks again you've been super helpful.. looking forward to tubey goodness hopefully by christmas! maybe for once i'd get a cool gift, even if its from myself!

to steal a smiley from you, 

hmm.. thanks for listing the possible options.. the super would be terribly expensive for me unfortunately.. is there any other tube amps below 600usd and below as a combo that you would recommend me? if this is kinda off topic, i dont mind pm-ing you for further advice

edit: your champ.. mind listing the specs for me? besides the owner bias (we all have them lol) you may have, you sure its really suitable? heard your demo and it sounds good

hey thanks for the reply.. appreciate the recommendations.. however, im based in malaysia, and it is hard to get amps that are going to be priced decently.. ceriatone is one of my top options as nik really offers competitive prices.. where do you think i could get an amp like those mentioned? clone amps too? original fenders will remain out of my reach for a long time it seems..

what power output does that deluxe reverb have actually? that one looks pretty good..

hey there.. new to the forum and to the amp talk.. been considering the 5E3 for awhile now, but still unsure about it..

1. my first tube amp, so i do not know what to expect really
2. looking for an amp that could give me some clean headroom, uses most probably include home (apartment) practice and possibly jam sessions/gigs in the future
3. stingy and hoping to get an amp that i would never need to replace ever
4. im not a very good guitarist and just want to improve the overall tone of my beginner setup
5. tones that i crave for would be kinda like the gilmoury, eric johsonish, srv-ish kinda clean tone, with a smooth overdrive.. im not saying i want the exact tone as them, just something that would have the pristine cleans
6. if it helps, an amp that i really love the tone of is a twin reverb.. who doesnt?
