Wow, a new record. This thread went completely off topic with the first reply! (or did I miss something :confused: ) Either way, that's pretty cool Pony. You found a chick with a fetish for guitarists. Ahh, I can only dream :o
Anyway, about the amp. I would get the one that didn't have the effects in it. the effects in the signal chain will have a negative effect on the "tube" tone. Besides, what happened to that pedal board you were working on. Individual effects will alway's sound much better than those built in effects.
