Clean tone advice
Hi all
I'm looking for a tube combo/head that I can use as a platform for pedals (beod ect)
Low wattage preferably with reverb and a fx loop
Also it has to be quiet as in not much hum or background noise
The traynor I had was a great clean amp but the preamp was noisy as hell
Reason being quiet evening practise with nice clean tone and the the ability to add dirt
Any suggestions

Royal Atlantic RA100
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

I'm currently sat on a multiamp and a 4x12
Plus 2 1x12 dv mark neo cabs doing diddly squat
So a head would be ideal really

Re: Clean tone advice
PRRI would do the job nicely, as would a DRRI even at home levels. I have held onto a Bogner Alchemist for exactly this reason - sounds great at low levels (unlike most amps I have had/still have that need to push a bit of air). Bog Alchemists pop up semi-regularly in the $6-700 range too.

Re: Clean tone advice
Are you actually going to use much clean? The tricky part about that type of amps is that they might have lovely cleans/light od but might not sound the way you expect when you throw a high gain pedal in front.
Amps:
Soldano SLO100 x2 | Wizard MC1 & MC2 | Diezel Herbert
Fryette Pittbull CL | Marshall 2203KK | Krank Rev 50 | Mesa Mark 2A
Rack stuff:
VHT/Fryette GP3, GP/DI & 2/90/2 | Peters FSM/Chimera
Verellen Meatsmoke | Synergy SYN1 | Mesa Studio

Prob looking at clean to noodle with at night with the availability to chuck a pedal in front for a bit of lead tone
As I've got the multiamp and cab for the kids away days
