I feel strange asking for help picking out and spending $1000 + on tube head without having any clue as to what I need. But here it goes:
I play dirty, junked-out rock n roll (johnny thunders, sex pistols, new york dolls etc...) And I don't use a whole lot of gain, instead I just get whatever I am using to the point of breaking up, and then EQ it to sound mean and dirty. I can't stand a smiley face EQ sound and as my name suggests, mids are my happy spot.
I am currently playing out of an old ampeg vt40 that i dearly love. The rocker switches on it are amazing and it gives me a lot of options to cut through and get a very colored, unique tone, but it takes strange old tubes, and smells kinda funny when i run it, so the wife is a little worried and truth be told, i like amps, and i like trying something new.
I would like something with a master volume running at 45 or 50w. I have a good avitar 2x12 cab with vintage 30's.
Also, I have demos on soundcloud of my songs were doing at the moment, which this amp would be used for and I'll post them here:
