I meant clones and repros if you didn't want to make one.

But even if there's something in his catalog I dig, I have to judge it by his whole body of work yeah? That means I don't like it I guessPretty hard to describe if you’re not super familiar with his work, but this should give an idea:
Project/Object concept - Zappa Wiki Jawaka

Conceptual Continuity - Zappa Wiki Jawaka
As a complete Zappa obsessive, I could give you suggestions if you ever feel like checking out some of his work that might appeal to you. His discography is so absurdly vast, yk

Robert Plant could've been replaced with a keyboard and I'd've been fine with that.

If you're just looking for a small practice tube amp, the Monoprice tube amps are really not bad at all. Maybe require a bit of tweaking, but definitely not bad especially given the price (especially on sale).

I spent some time looking at the LT1054 datasheet and the duocast schematic today but I still don't really understand how it makes 27v

Isn't that monoprice tube amp some kind of cheap champ clone?

So Ive been looking at those but as @thewintersoldier says the headroom might be a problem and how well does it perform as a pedal platform?

Simulcast capacitor voltage ratings
Beyond those indicated to be 35v, what voltage rating do the other caps in the simulcast need to be?

I think it depends. If you want to use a lot of pedals you may need significant clean headroom and that is usually not cheap. The cheapest option is probably the Fender Hot Rod deluxe. I wouldn’t go below that wattage if you plan to use a ton of overdrive, modulation and delay. The deluxe reverb is also a great choice.So this is one that I’ve been wanting to ask and it’s pretty simple…..I need/want(my girls going to kill me) a clean tube amp. Right now I’m using an orange crush 20 and tbh I love it but I’ve noticed using all these pedals is that I need again or “want” a clean platform. I’ve been looking at the fender blues juniors for my first tube amp but damn their expensive! So my question is does anyone know of a great tube amp that isn’t so damn expensive and will give me what I want?
