I went to Manson's in Exeter today. Christ. It's like Mecca for guitars and amps. They have practice booths so I blagged my way into trying out a Jap Jazzy through a fuzz factory into a JCM 800. fucking awesome, etc.
I've now found what my next amp is going to be.

Fender Blues Deluxe Tweed Reissue. Fucking A.
Loud as fuck, and really clean. £512. Has anyone else had any experience with these?

You should try it with a re-cab. Mine sounds AMAZING!!!!!

That's not even the same amp is it?

No alibi anyway.

oh ya, you're right. It's not the same. Mine is a blues jr. I need to read better.

Mansons in Exeter is where I bought my first Distortion pedal - great shop.

the blues deluxe is a terrific amp. one of my favorites from fender's current production.

yes.
i played one once at my old rockin' bar, it was awesome. don't get them confused with the hot rod series. the original blues and reissues are miles better than the hot rods. really.

yeah, plus it's fucking tweed awesomeness.

it still has the stupid crappy fender pots where anything above 3 sets off my tinnitus...
