I've got a Peavey Classic 50, and it is very pedal friendly. It's not going to be as 'clean' as the JC120, but if you want a clean tube tone for a decent price, you can't go wrong with a Classic 50, or 30. And I promise volume is no issue at all. I played with my drummer this weekend with just my classic 50 and I was able to play louder than him, and he's a loud drummer. I had to turn it down, because it was just rediculously loud :eek: .
