Second amp for stereo?
Having ideas of running a stereo setup, I do love the AC10 so looking for something in a similar vein to compliment it, mostly after clean tones from both amps as I get all my dirt from pedals... Really liking the 10" speaker size so perhaps something like a DIY princeton? have never owned a fender amp before and really dig their cleans... what else would you guys consider thats not wallet destroying?

Would recommend a Princeton, fantastic amps. Another much cheaper option would be an Orange Terror Stomp or similar and a little cab. If you're interested in such I just so happen to have a 1x10 cab loaded with a Celestion Vintage 10 for sale

Re: Second amp for stereo?
I currently have a BlackStar Artisan 30 close to an AC-30 sound. I'm using it in stereo with a VHT Special 6, which is kinda Blackface-style. They can be a bit brash in the upper mids and treble. I personally would recommend something that emphasises different frequencies than the AC-10. But some people even use identical amps in stereo and sound great!jeremyb wrote: ↑Wed Jul 28, 2021 8:41 pmWould definitely want another combo but thanks for the offer Ben!rickenbackerkid wrote: ↑Wed Jul 28, 2021 8:31 pm Would recommend a Princeton, fantastic amps.

Re: Second amp for stereo?
I can't help you choose an amp, but I can say that I'm really digging my dual Katana 50 setup. Stereo split from a Chorus, and an analog delay just on one leg to the amp. Gets kinda addictive, when I turn the Chorus off its almost instant boring and narrow. I do need to find a stereo in/out digital delay to add for some lead playing fun.jeremyb wrote: ↑Wed Jul 28, 2021 8:21 pm Having ideas of running a stereo setup, I do love the AC10 so looking for something in a similar vein to compliment it, mostly after clean tones from both amps as I get all my dirt from pedals...

The origin 20w is kinda appealing!

Princeton all the way. Clean, not too loud, fantastic reverb and trem. I have considered getting another for a stereo vibe.
