Hi,


I'm looking for my first real tube amp (I've been playing on a Spark Mini). I have a American Pro II Telecaster. I'm between the below two amps:



  1. Fender '57 Custom Champ 1x8" 5-watt Tube Combo Amp 

  2. Fender 65 Princeton Reverb with the Cannibas Rex 12” speaker.


I'm at the Beginner / Intermediate level and play at home in my office. I do not want it to be too loud and I'd love to keep it simple and have a great amp that sounds good without pedals. I think both are good options and are priced exactly the same for local pickup. 


Given the above circumstances, which one would you choose? Pics below:
