Hey guys-

I will hopefully be purchasing a Les Paul Standard from a buddy this week. The guitar feels amazing, but I noticed a 'problem' that I don't have with Telecasters. I usually play out of a Deluxe Reverb, however, this Les Paul was overdriving the hell out of it. I definitely prefer some clean headroom, especially considering that I am using the guitar primarily for jazz (or pseudo jazz in my case). From past experience I know that a Twin is a bit too large for me to lug around. So, what is my best option? I love that clean Fender tone, especially when the tubes start to warm up a bit. Any opinions would be helpful.

FWIW: I am considering a Vibrolux Reverb Reissue (40 watts, I think) or maybe a Roland JC 90
