Fender-y cleans would really mesh well with the AC10. A Princeton Reverb would be about right, but Deluxe Reverb would give you more headroom in a similar package.

Bargain! $899 here! $685 shipped as shipping is £150.99 :-(
Not so much, they seem to have really raised their delivery costs. Still only $700ish though.
Great sounding wee amps too...

email them about the delivery, that is likely a standard price, I expect it will be cheaper being so small and light (7KG). My guitar was less to ship than that. A Fender Twin Reverb shows as £160 delivery and that weighs 30KG.
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

The outro to that is the first time I've seen Danish Pete concentrating. :rofl:

That amp appears to destroy my holdout position against digital amps; their clean tones were on the sterile end of utterly uninteresting.

I'm keen to try one of those.
About bloody time.
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

If you guys liked that, you may also enjoy this one that I filmed with Brett Kingman a few years ago. The poweramp switching on the Nextone amps is subtle and difficult to get across over YouTube, so I made sure that we used a combination of close and distance miking to get as close to an "in the room" sound as possible.

I'd also vote for the DSL20/40 combo option. Excellent cleans and crunch. Pretty sure they do a 5w combo, though I find the volume on my 50w head to be very usable so I don't think a higher wattage combo is out of the question.
Loving it so far
