My main stage amps do have presence controls and valve rectifiers though!
What's this all about @ICBM ? Too much electrickery speak for me I'm afraid. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Custom-Mesa-Tremoverb-HAND-WIRED-rebuild-by-Vyse-Amps-/111195340764?pt=UK_MusicalInstr_Amplifiers_RL&hash=item19e3c23fdc

Thanks mate. I'll try and find a stock one somewhere to have a play through....

I'd still love a badcat/matchless setup (despite selling my cab) and the CAA PT amps look fantastic - either of those would give some great tones.
I have no clue about porcupine tree but i know mark tremonti uses high gain amps.
(b) LOL agreed.
I normally find the people who always say "pedals are the answer" play a different type of music from the people who aren't convinced they are

are all amps you try closely related and intended for the same style?
My favourite ones are all ones that are immensely raved about, but quite different from each other
The three best I've used for taking pedals are
JTM45
1987
Bogner Shiva.
I did have a 4x10 Bassman as well, but found the Marshall's to work better. The speaker config in the Bassman always made things sound a bit scooped and toppy to me when using pedals.
I sometimes use my Bogner Ecstasy Red pedal into my 1987 and I can't really tell the difference between that and a valve preamp.
It's all in the design. It feels the same as an amp to me and doesn't have that crappy top end that so many lesser overdrive and distortion boxes do.
In my experience, I've never rated Oranges as good pedal platforms. My RV50 never used to like them on the clean channel.
On the Orange forums I'm fairly sure I read a thread about pedals that actually worked well with Orange amps.
The list wasn't terribly long if I recall correctly.
I'm interested to try a Shiva now you've mentioned those three in the same breath.
It would be interesting to look at a schematic to see what the signal path actually is.
