Heck if OD pedals are the help... go for a dual 6L6 BF Fender (any one of them). Use the OD pedal for dirt.

5E3's are nice, but if you use P-90s/humbuckers they can get farty. If you play gigs where you need that snappy reverb'ed country sound, they can't do it. If you play hard rock or metal, its not capable (bottom end mush).

I'd say a dual 6L6 BF Reverb for most clean stuff, a 5E3 for raunchy blues, and a 50w MV Marshall for rock - again, not a one-size-fits-all type of Awiss army approach. I've got over a dozen amps and these three are the most used on a repeated basis.
