I like the vintage ones... creamier

Vintage Deluxes are over 5K these days and reportedly plagued by blown (undersized) output transformers. Better, for me at least, to build my own and not worry about pushing it.

@slpplexi1969 ???

Do you even own a 5e3?

[slpplexi1969]

@1Doz The best part about these amps is that if you pick very lightly, you can still get clean sounds when the amp is cranked to 12. But then you can pick a little harder and sound like Joe Walsh. And even harder and you get the nasty (in a good way) Neil Young sound. Plus the volume controls working together so you can have more or less distortion. And 4 inputs, so even more distortion control and there's a tone control. Very versatile amps.
