To answer your question, in the amps that I've owned, EL34 tubes were in the ones that I've liked the most so, of your choices, Marshall-esque would the tone I'm looking for. Unfortunately, I don't have much of a selection of amps to try out in my location, at least ones that I would like to...

What is the best current or recent production single channel tube amp priced $1000 or lower? I'm looking for a 45 to 50 watt head to be paired with a 4x12 Greenbacks cab that does a good OD crunch/lead but also cleans up nicely using the guitar volume knob.

I have a 2016 LP Tribute T (490R and 498T) that I would like to change the pickups. Which humbucker sized P90's do you guys recommend for a glassy lower gain (most of the time), rounded, articulate tone? I'm a fan of mini-hums as well. Would they be a better choice, would it major...
