And here's one out of left field - the EVH 5150 III (made by Fender) has everything - the heaviest overdrive (sans noise), a nice crunch channel and still the classic Fender clean channel. I had occasion to gig with one about a month after I got my Soldano. Honestly, for the money it's one of the best amps out there. I could sell my Soldano, buy a new EVH and be $1000 ahead.
Agree. Fenders 5150 III is great bit of gear for all those reasons and - will pretty much make the same sounds from 0 to stadium volume. And there nothing not to love about an old Twin (cept moving them).

But- ive never had any luck making those little Deville and Hotrods combos sound any good. User error prolly.
