(despite the large number of retarded people that claim you can't get a good clean tone out of one. God forbid if you turn down you preamp volume instead of maxing it out at 12) I do dislike the fact that it's a single channel amp (and i have a crap distortion pedal) and that it doesn't really suit the type of music I play.

Clean isnt great...but it is pretty versatile. I just gotr the Peavey 3120 (first tube amp) with the Windsor cab on it. I am running the head through the old cab, cause they didnt have one at the store the day I bought it, so they shipped one to me. Havent plugged it in yet, but I LOVE the 3120. Amazing cleans, and the rhythm channel is awesome, lead is what I have been looking for. I cant believe what I have been missing....

I think Shoot should just stop searching for an amp and get a 3120 already (come xmas time of course) I've heard the carvin v3 (veil of maya uses them) and I wasn't particularly impressed with their tone tbh.

Mild Crunch to a metal on the gain when rolled up, 3. Lead Channel that is just a Chunk a Chunk that turns heads. 4. El34 or 6L6's versatile. 5. Cost, low enough that you can buy a set of KT-77 Gold Pins and ECC83S's & Biasing tool and still come out less then a average new head cost.
