I'm considering getting myself either a 5F1 or a 5E3 DIY kit in the new year, but not sure which would better suit my needs as far as clean volume goes.

I had a Blues Junior that couldn't quite keep up with an overzealous drummer, so I replaced that with a 2005 Blues Deluxe that more than handles everything I need, but for around the house, it's set around 2 on the clean channel, at the point where it just sort of comes on.

Ideally I'm looking for something that will just start breaking up around that volume for house use (I'll keep the Blues Deluxe for playing out), as I prefer clean with a little crunch when I dig in. I figured that 5F1 would be perfect but all the clips I hear on utube are extremely buzzy and broken up.

I don't have access to either amp to give them a try, so any feedback from you learned fellows would be appreciated!
