new amp?

I'm starting to save up for a new amp, but have no idea what to look for. Price range around $1200 canadian. I want an amp with a nice vintage tone and one suited for home use and possibly gigs. I'm upgrading from a Behringer V-Tone GMX 210 Combo. This amp will be used with a fender stratocaster. I like to play blues and classic rock. Any suggestions?

For blues and classic rock, I'd suggest a Fender Dual Reverb, or a Marshall JCM 900.

I suggest for that price, a 70's silverface fender super reverb or twin. Although its not as nice as a blackface era fender amp, it still sounds pretty good and i right in your budget. It can also be modded to blackface very very easily. However, you will need a good pedal to get some good crunch, but with that said its smoken good rig. I have a Traynor Custom Valve 80 which is about $950 CAD and with a tube change its an awesome amp. If you live in toronto, check out Capsule Music or Songbird for thier vintage collection of amps. For traynors check out Long and Mcquade.

A Peavey Classic 50 would probably do, and be well under your price range. It's got some sweet cleans, and a nice classic rock type overdrive, and will rattle your brain when the volume is turned up.

fender super reverb, great overdrive!

Thanks all. I'm really liking the reviews of the Peavey Classic 50 and the price sounds right to me. I'll see if I can get to the music store sometime soon to try one out.
