Buy the shit that looks coolest, and find the cool sounds in it.

You make good points. I don't use amp distortion, so I'm sure I'll be fine. I had that classic "Wait. This doesn't sound as boss as it did before I gave the guy my money" moment when I brought it home. But that could be the acoustics of my basement, not letting the amp warm up at all before driving it, etc...

I know you weren't saying so, but I certainly don't think it "sucks." I just wanted to be cool like you guys.  :(  Now I'm gonna have to settle for my slightly less desirable vintage Fender tube amp from which I get more "clean" and "pretty" and "glassy" than any other amp I have.  :P

Thanks for all your input, guys! OSG is still the hot spot for the cool kids.  8)

any old Fender tube amplifier is going to hold its value, so you won't lose.  If at some point you 'outgrow' it, or happen to find a great deal on a vintage amp with a purer pedigree, so to speak, then you will always be able to get out of it what you paid in, assuming you didn't drastically overpay.
