Fender Super-Sonic is a nice choice because you do indeed get classic Fender clean tones and modern high-gain tone unlike any other Fender amp (and a bunch of bluesy mid-gain things in between). Here's the in-depth review I did of the Super-Sonic a while back:

Also consider Mesa Boogie Lone Star. Great for all of your alt country stuff other than high gain, but if you got a Bogner or Mesa distortion pedal, you could get those modern high-gain tones. Of course the amp sounds especially awesome paired with a Fulltone OCD...

pretty cool band =0 emarosa tinge to it with closure in moscow/circa survive and even lower definition
we played with closure in moscow sometime last year , i think they were sharing orange amps with another band, think they use budda amps normally using a variety of pedals // musicman guitars , incredible band
for some reason i'm thinking the mesa boogie electradyne might be worth adding to the list, cool simple amps, have enough dirt on tap for what you're after
otherwise i'd probably go for the fender supersonic over the lonestar , had a lonestar for a while, awesome clean with a decent drive channel but didn't quite have the guts or gain on tap, friend has one of the older models, sounds stellar

That's pretty cool. I had no idea that Keith used an 800. I know that he's used Bogner XTCs and Shivas in the past (both of which I've used in past country/rock bands). I've been playing in country bands since the late 80s (you get lots more gigs going country and classic rock up here in MT than metal, though I have been in metal bands here as well). But it wasn't until I picked-up Keith's "Golden Road" CD in 2004 that I bought my first "country" CD. I love his individuality, and firey/passionate playing and tone. Paisley is the monster of country lead in our time IMO. But a little of him goes a long way. I'd rather listen to Urban ANY day. I guess that I need to spend more time playing around with my 2203X with the volume rolled-back to see how it might work for country should I ever find myself playing it again.
