Thanks Razbo, I guess I'll have to make do for the moment and try and make a compromise. I guess that having a 2ch amp would make it easy to get clean and overdrive at the same volume, or would it? Doesn't a 2ch amp only have 2 pre amp stages and a single shared output stage? If that's the case, to have output tube distortion it would need to be driven fairly hard, so any clean sound would have to be quieter to be clean?? I don't know if that's right or not, I've never used a 2ch!!
