try bringing in a company's amp kits. there are plenty who do vintage style amps that will work with the wide range of pedals that you all do.
they are all handwired, pine-cabbed with good speakers. can't go wrong. try bringing in the lower powered ones and maybe one or two higher powered ones. stuff like:
Tweed Super 5F4 Kit
Tweed Deluxe Kit
Tweed Champ Kit
Blackface Vibro Champ Kit
Blackface Princeton Reverb Kit
Blackface Deluxe Reverb Kit
18 Watt 112 Combo Kit (and head)
low powered amps are great because they can be used in HDB flats and houses at reasonable volumes (5 to 15 watts) tweed watts are a different case because they crunch up pretty easily.
there are plenty of companies who do kits out there. marsh amps in particular who will provide kits and build it for you. better still is to buy the kits and work with an amp technician who will assemble the amps for you. get mike for example.
yes, i know ceriatone does kits but they have a limit in the sense that their cabs are made of plywood (grade a, but still heavier and not as resonant as pine or birch) and their limits to speakers. (they only stock celestion)
alternatively, an idea is to buy the chasis from ceriatone and get the cabinets and speakers from elsewhere (mojo supplies eg) that would be a cheaper alternative.
i own a 5e7 bandmaster replica which is all handwired and pine cabbed stocked with weber speakers and the sound is absolutely outstanding.
will be buying more tweeds in the future.
