is that the bass amp with the weird power tubes? i really want one of those. there's this particular Gibson amp tone i've been chasing for ages and that particular amp is the inexpensive way there.

No it's the lil "harp" amp with a 10"... Sounds sweet and looks and smells brand new... I always go by how my amps smell... Beer and mildew and cat piss, no thanks... Tolex and warm tube and 45 year old dust, please and thank you...

AC15 run quite dirty with light trem and lots of verb. With a Fender Blues junior or Peavy Classic 30 cleaner dry, maybe a little modulation.

but that's what I would do but my instincts tend to be contrary to most.

Two JC60s. Duh.

JC60 and Classic 30 would also be acceptable.

Two Deluxe Reverbs would be the obvious solution. I'm thinking haaard about running a dual Princeton setup.
Maybe partying will help.

For my stereo set-up I use a VOX AC4TV and an Epi Valve Jr.. A lot less wattage then what you're wanting but it's fine for my needs. I say get a different amp then what you already have. I like the tonal differences myself. :idk:

It all depends what your idea of going stereo is. Do you want to run into two different sounding amps, maybe through two different mono pedal chains? Do you want the stereo outs of your pedal rig going into two identical (or not) amps? Do you want to stay mono until stereo-izing with effects in the amp loop or between a mono pre and stereo power amp? Do you want a Dry/Wet rig or a L-Wet/Dry/R-Wet rig? There are a hell of a lot of ways to go on this, and recommending an amp without an idea of the plan is a little sketchy.

IMO, stereo time-based effects generally work better on record than live. I tend to prefer either adding a complementary amp to the same pedal chain or doing different effects chains.
