My amp buying days are over.

Well, hopefully. 
I'm finally satisfied with what I have, for what I like to play. I've had a variety of amps over the years. My favorite before these was a Deluxe Reverb Reissue(58).
Top: 59 Fender Champ. All original except replacement speaker (Jensen MOD)and new 6V6 power tube (Tung Sol). I need to get the two-prong power cord replaced. I MAY also try a Jupiter speaker, based on the reviews.
Bottom: New Fender '57 Deluxe Reissue. Hand wired. Pretty loud 12 watts. Still breaking in the speaker, but love the tone. Particularly with single coil pickups.
Playing through a variety of Telecasters. Some Fender, some custom partscasters.
Neither have reverb, so I'll be looking for a quality reverb pedal. I've been recommended the Strymon Blue Sky, or Wampler Ethereal.

Not currently in a band. I play around with several friends at someone's house or practice spot. I'm not really looking to play in a band setting. Mostly just for personal enjoyment.
I don't write songs. I mostly like just playing.

Those are great amps. I hope to someday have a fender twin reverb of my own. Right now, I play on a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe.
If you’re looking for a reverb pedal, I’d recommend a Hall of Fame Reverb or a Holy grail reverb.
What are you doing with that deluxe reverb these days?

Part of my trade in on the Champ. It was a 68 reissue. Great amp. A little too loud for me. 22 watts. By the time it breaks up, it's too loud. Great buttery cleans though.

Those 5watt 5F1 champs are plenty loud for home use; will clear the house out

Those are sweet. I've been looking into maybe getting a SF champ recently
