I own both a 5E3 clone and a Peavey Classic 30, and I love them both -- but for different things. IMO, the tweed Deluxe clone will NOT be able to provide you with any clean sounds in a loud band context. It sings like crazy, and is incredibly touch-responsive -- a real joy to play through.

But it has its limits for live work. Again, strictly IMO; YMMV. :-)

But given your budget, here's an idea

: get TWO used PC30s (total $600 or so) and use the leftover $$ to buy a stereo chorus pedal and a stereo delay pedal (if you don't already own them.) Then set up those two amps about 3 feet apart, and play them in glorious

<--- { { { [ [ [ S T E R E O ] ] ] } } } --->

Nothing like it, IMO. And your sound will be HUGE, guaranteed.

Just a thought.

Best of luck, CS :-)
