These are great! Three different EL34/6L6/KT-88 models. Priced well locally. The British Racing Green KT-88 would be my go to based on what you are saying!!!

To work with fuzz and buckers is exactly one of the things It can’t do well at low volumes. I have a ‘66 PR and the new PR reissues are pretty good. Even the new 4 watt Vox amps are worth looking at if you want to drive with fuzz and buckers. Good luck with your search!
Nothing is wrong dude , just an opinion . I stand by mine .
Sup Tim! :cheers: Might have to get my guitar to where I want it and go into the shop and try every fender offering they have... My mate just got a princeton reverb done by Achilles. He swears by it but Im not going to drop that amount of cash on one

Australia does do cheap amps like any other country. That’s fact.

Don't be put off if you see a good deal - you probably just need a good amp tech. If you're near Sydney, Earthling Designs (were on Oxford Street, now moved to Marrickville) is where it's at. Lachlan is a great guy and will get anything you can throw at him running as it should. With a little routine love and care, a good vintage amp should run pretty much forever.

I’ve got a couple of little Ampeg gvt15 amps that are brilliant with fuzz...especially for the price. They don’t pop up too often, but when they do they’re usually $300-400aud.

Valvetone are great too, to answer your question. If you get down to Melbourne they have a bunch of them in swoppy to try.

+1 on the valvetone
Ulbrick Venue 30 is amazingly point to point handwired twin rectifier that can't be beaten imo.
If you can find a BAEZ, don't hesitate. Pay the price and sit back and enjoy. Genuine JMP KILLER
