Fryette Deliverance 120 ii or Splawn Quickrod 100 Watt

My max budget is probably right at 2800, I got this one brand new for an open box deal for 2300 so great deal on it.

If you can go up to $2800 I’d look into a vintage JMP2203, JCM800, Bogner Helios maybe or Naylor. Naylor’s typically for a bit more than $2800, but you never know, you might find one cheap or a guy’s accepts a lower offer. Maybe also an SLO30

Some dude offered me the Kerry King JCM800 in mint condition for 2300, I played one back in high school at guitar center but haven't seen or heard from them since. No anything about that?

I haven't had one myself, but my understanding is that it's a stock 2203X but with a built-in noise gate and boost.
Personally, I wouldn't pay $2300 for one, there's a couple cheaper than that on Reverb right now even, but nothing wrong with the amp itself. I just don't like artist/signature equipment so I personally would rather have a regular 2203 and put my own boost in front of it, but you could use the 2203KK the same way and it'd sound the same (if you leave "beast" mode off)

The other key difference is the KT88’s in the KK and I prefer EL34’s myself for those

I love the 2210 and 2205, but I have two and they also sound very different from each other. Another case of the "multiple circuit designs with the same model name" issue - 1982 to mid '84 is the "bad" one with less gain, late 84 -88ish is the middle one, 88-90 has more gain and more scooped mids. But even within the same design there's some variability, either from age, components wearing out of spec, etc

When I suggested JCM800 though, I sort of meant a 2204 or 2203. A used reissue 2203x is in your budget range and will sound absolutely phenomenal with an assortment of boosts, and you have an FX loop. Just no clean channel, but same thing for your Deliverance so I figured that was OK.

I have my board going into the low input of my 800 2203 and use a boss es8 to control everything. So basically the clean patches have no sd 1 in them and the clean is pretty good for what i need. It's not fender clean but good enough for killer of giants etc lol
