Just saw this ^^^. Why use an amp at all? I'd buy an easy-to-use multi-fx like a Zoom G3n with monitor speakers - arguably, has nicer tone than an amp for home use.

The problem with smallish guitar amps in a small venue is that they're pointed right at the audience's ears and the player's ankles. To me, Blues Jrs with any Fender guitar are absolute ice picks, and DRRI's aren't as bad, but still brighter than I care for. I like the PRRI a whole lot better. I can post a couple Soundcloud examples of live-in-studio recordings of PRRI's if y'all are interested.
Also great and underpriced, if you happen to run across one, is the 90's Rivera-designed blackface Fender Concert. Same size and weight as a Deluxe but I think they sound much better. Smoother. No tremolo for some reason, but if you don't play Surf or Spaghetti you won't miss it. |

The Monoprice, Stage Right, 15 W tube amp is very good for the price:

Can it go into “ice pick” territory if not shaped correctly? Absolutely. Yet as stated, many guitar/amp combos can produce that if not dialed in. Last edited by PTony; 07-08-2019 at 10:16 AM. |

Short answer any Fender tube amp. I play 50's Baja Tele on my Vox vt40 which has pretty good fender tones as well as others with a bit of tweaking. I also have a Fender Super Sonic 22 that it sounds pretty good as well, incredible when turned up.
