Henri, I used the Search utility and found this previous posting:

One word for you suck***. They sound nothing like they ancestors and are not worth a penny. Stay away. Just because it says Vox doesn't make it a Vox.
Got to start with one make it a 360/12.

Another amp I was thinking about was the Fender 59' Bassman.

Henri, I tell everyone to try the Fender Super Sonic. I shopped for amps for a long time before settling on this masterpiece.
It's configured to have 3 channels: '64 Vibrolux, '65 Bassman, and a high gain channel

I tried Vox, boutique models, Dr.Z (nice), the entire Fender line, etc.

The Super Sonic won.

My friend wanted a good overall amp so we tried every reissue Fender has and the only one worth while is the 65 Twin. All the others including the bassman sound nothing like the original and it is an amp that doesn't have reverb. I really think the Deluxe, Deville and the Hot Rod deluxe are the best amps Fender made after going to circuit board construction. He ended up with the "The Twin" also called the evil twin. He is sorry for that mistake.
Got to start with one make it a 360/12.

This weekend, I going to test a Victoria Tweed Deluxe with my 1997 and 360/12CW. It's one of three Victoria's that a friend has.

Take your time Henry.....look for an earlier VOX AC-15 TBX w/a blue bulldog speaker...or find a Fender Vibroverb reissue ..came out about 10 years ago..2 different sounds..but both nice

Henry, I have a new 620 which I've been playing through a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe. The amp is certainly worth having a listen to before you make you final decision.

Good luck with your search.
Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others.

I will look into all those that have been suggested. I also have heard a lot of great things about the epiphone Valve Junior. I know its only 5 Watts but I really only play i my room plus I will get the matching cab if I was to go that way. Its only $250 for a tube amp which I thinks pretty good.

Vox Custom Classic AC30CC2 30w 2x12, I have had mine for nearly 2 years and not a problem. This amp is the best amp for any ric (my rics 610 6, 330 12 plus epi casino and 335) only thing that comes close is my 1972 fender twin.
Go the AC30CC2 with blue speakers you wont look back.
