Egnater Tweaker 40 Headroom?

I will be getting a new amp soon and so far, my favorite is the Tweaker 40. I've played it in comparison with several others from Egnater, Fender, and Vox. The Tweaker 40 was my favorite out of everything I tried in clean and dirty tones. I'm just afraid of one thing, that it can't stay clean at band volumes. Does anyone have anything to say about the headroom? I play with a very very loud drummer and I play clean most of the time. I don't mind a little bit of hair but nothing to get in the way of a nice sound. I think if I keep it on the clean switch on and use my guitar's volume, I should be fine. But I want to make sure.

if you can try out a Peavey Classic 50, I guarantee you'll love it. extremely reasonably priced, reliable, and they sound great.

The classic line is very awesome, very clean and full. Fenders will get what you're looking for too, particularly old silverfaces
Edit: forgot what the topic at hand was

I think that with a very loud drummer, asking for no drive from the tubes may not work... how many other people are you playing with? Thats more likely what will determine it

Where would you be buying it from? Check to see if you can return it and try it out with the band. That's really the only way you would find out if it works or not.

Drums, bass, keyboards, a singer, and I. My second choice would be Fender Blues Deluxe but I could not get a tone I liked as much as what I got from the Tweaker. Also, it's so much more versatile.
I have a strat, as well, which gives me even more leeway.
