The Fender Blues Deluxe. I tried that one with a Tele. It gave me a smile from ear to ear. It works great with any Fender guitar, and (semi) hollow body guitars. It also handles pedals really well such as Tube Screamers and Blues Drivers. Plus you get a built in reverb to die for.

STOP MAKING ME WANT FENDER AMPS!

Seriously though, i would try one too, very nice amps.

He says he wants to spend £300 and in a perfect world it would have 3 chanels (clean, OD, lead) so obviously he's living in dreamy weamy land at that price, but what could do two out of 3 well and respond favourably to a boost or OD? For arguments sake we'll entertain stuff up to 600 or so, in the hopes that he can find it second hand perhaps.


Man, I wish I had 300 pounds to spend, cause over here in the USA, you can get what he wants.  'Cept shipping would be a lot

I like the Matamp MiniMat... I did try one once and it sounded very cool... not sure of the price though.

Must it be valves? I would strongly recommend a Roland Cube 60 which does great blues noises; for £300 he could buy two!
I like valve amps as much as anyone but the Cube really surprised me with how good it sounds.
