I'm looking to pick up an amp to start building up my collection for doing some session guitar work and am having a hard time knowing where to begin.
I know I can probably get away with having 2-3 amp heads to cover everything I'd need (lots of Nashville sessions) and don't need a 5150.
What would be a good recommendation to jump into in order to end up with something that can cover a ton of tonal ground. I was thinking something like a JCM 800 2203 head or the Invective, etc. I don't really have a preference as it's hard to find a true piece of shit these days--just looking for something cool and the budget will vary depending on how sick the amp is although I'm not looking at Friedman/Wizard territory (yet).
For reference: Heaviest I'd probably go is the tone off The Kindred's 'Life In Lucidity' record or anything Karnivool. Cleanest would be something in the vein of Joey Landreth when he's not goosing his rig with boosts/gain boxes. LOTS OF EFFECTS but mostly after the fact in the box
