Yamaha, carlsbro, gibson and a few others are in list but i suppose a very reliable, tried and tested option is a Roland JC120. Makes a superb pedal platform or good for clean sounds without pedals.
older so probs needs a full service and cap change etc but Gibson lab series L3 would be another possible candidate as its a great pedal platform and a lot lighter then the bigger ones

Just wondered if there are any thoughts on the SS red knob fenders as i've seen a few lately at good prices and wondered if they might be worth a punt.
They’re the first series from the new post-CBS Fender company and have nothing to do with Rivera at all.
(The red knob ‘The Twin’ is not the ‘Evil Twin’ either, but that’s another common mistake...)
The red knob solid state amps are like all modern Fender solid-state and most valve amps - they have a great clean sound and reverb, which takes *most* pedals quite well but can sound harsh with fuzz or hard distortion, and an overdrive channel which no-one ever uses .
Actually the distortion can be usable, but the red-knob ones are even less intuitive than most of the others - not helped by having some unfamiliar names/functions (eg ‘Limiter’), generally too much gain, and are very sensitive and interactive to dial in. You’ll probably never get a traditional valve-like overdrive out of one no matter what... but they can be ‘interesting’, if you like that sort of thing!
They’re also quite well-made and generally reliable, although beginning to show their age now. The most common fault is broken jacks, they use the notoriously brittle PCB ‘box’ jacks with a metal insert in the centre and a large thin metal nut.

I'd want one as a pedal platform so it sounds like maybe the not the best option!
I just finished going through the website, absolutely priceless.
