SSO's Fat Mac
I'm looking for a combo amp that I can primarily play progressive rock on. Stuff like Yes, Rush, King Crimson, Porcupine Tree, Genesis, primarily a type of amp that I can throw a lot of effects at. I also have an overdrive and a fuzz so I'll be putting some distortion on it at times but not the majority of the time. I want a combo because I need something easily transportable that can play good with a band practice and small gigs.
My budget is not high, looking primarily in the $500-$700 range. So far a few good one's I've played/seen:
Blackstar HT Club 40 - I played this and honestly liked it a lot so it's up there for me, the cleans were good but I didn't get to try any effects with it and the distortion worked for me
Roland JC 40 - I haven't tried this but it sounds gorgeous in every video and having an onboard chorus would be cool since I don't have a chorus pedal
Peavey Class 30/Valveking II 50 - I haven't tried either of these but they're in my price range
My primary concern is that I want a great clean channel, as good as I can find. The Roland seems like the best option out of the ones I listed. I want to throw some effects on it as well as an overdrive and fuzz so having great onboard distortion isn't critical here.
What would you all recommend? Any brands I'm missing? Thanks!
