If you're a fan of blackface Fender clean tone one of these is a must-have - looks like a '65 Twin from the audience (add a set of tilt-back legs for the full effect), can be had for
well under $200 if you look around (FYI the surf guys/gals on a budget
love them - prices can easily approach or exceed the original $329 street in certain markets for a clean one); FWIW they came in several incarnations -
this is the one you want:
Better-sounding/looking than the all-black first editions (some of which had DSP effects - IME avoid these in particular
), makes an excellent pedal platform (you'll probably want a good OD pedal in front - the Drive/More Drive channel is OK in a pinch with the stock speakers, but not this amp's strong point), weighs about 25% less than a Twin, and if you swap in a set of Eminence Cannabis Rex or Swamp Thang speakers and a full-size reverb tank you'll be looking inside for the tubes (BTW takes a lot of the sonic nasties out of the Drive channel as well)...

Not to start the GAS fire again but if you're looking for a good-sounding/playing electric 12-string at a very reasonable price, check out one of these when you're ready:
