Sure there's no substitute for a BF Twin, but is there a small, low-power head (or preamp) that will do a semi-convincing approximation? I've googled around, but GD folks have more my idea of what "good tone" means than most.
My main amp is a '73 Bassman head, which is great but too big and powerful for my needs these days. I'd like a small (magical?) box that does great pure Fender cleans at 15W or less. I never use fuzz or other effects except reverb. Cost is less important than small size and good quality.
I spend most of my tone-quest energy on speakers and home-brew cabs. Right now I'm running into a 2 x12 HT clone with a a ceramic Weber Cali (paper) and a TT hempcone, baltic ply. My new project is to downsize that to a 2x10 with a JBLK110 and alnico Weber Cali (metal dome), clear pine. Should be better for low volume.
Any ideas????
