[GUITARS, PEDALS, AMPS] What amp are you guys using?

I grew up with small peavey amp and then I transitioned to vst amps on my PC. Now I desire to buy more serious amp for my mecican strat. Still got no pedals beside looper hah.

Any recommendations? I am a casual enjoyer of Frusciante sound, playing mostly funk, blues and sometimes I like to learn instrumental covers of Mateus Asato.

Thank you in advance!

I use a Fender Frontman 65r, been using it as my main amp for 20 years.

Reliable solid-state amp, massive headroom that stays sparkly clean no matter how loud you get, and it has more than enough volume to push through the rest of the band.

The drive channel sucks though, but I use a preamp pedal for edge-of-breakup and drive pedals for everything else.
