I have a few here! In fact one is mgr. named Visual Sound Work Horse Pony 30, a 30 watt 1x12 all tube combo.

Yeah George, I feel you may enjoy a good sounding vintage tube amp played "clean". Back in the "day" we didn't think about creating distortion or fuzz (until Grady Martin inserted a bit in Marty Robbins "Don't Worry Bout me".) In fact, it was something we tried to avoid. My first amp was the Fender Tweed Champ. I loved the sound of it when I plugged in my acoustic Gibson with a DeArmand pickup in the soundhole. Even though Chet Atkins commented that the DeArmand just "...sucked the tone right out of the guitar". When the solidbody Tele came out, the little Tweed still functioned great for the new stuff - Heartbreak Hotel, lHoney Dont, etc. You know, those old clean tunes without the benefit of pedals. I remember down at the old RCA studio B when they had to create "echo" to record Elvis.
