For some context, my dream amp (the Selmer) was just under $1000 and came loaded with top-tier '60s tubes worth half that figure, alone.
Stretch those dollars...they can go really far for the informed (and lucky) buyer.

Re: Nice/More Pedals vs. Nice Amp
Totally agree that "Nice amp" or "good amp" doesn't necessarily mean a vintage plexi for $4k (or more).

Agreed!
Just got this cab, and I'm lovin' it. Very rich/unique sound compared to my other cab.

I figure if I can get the right sound from my pedal chain into my cheap SS combo amps with no gain and the EQ set as flat as possible, then I can likely get a good sound out of anything. But maybe that's just because I can't afford a nice amp.
i'm in this camp too. although i've been seriously considering selling off some pedals to fund a nicer amp.
