I need a head for a Suhr 2 x 12 with vintage 30s

And I don’t wanna spend $3000 either certainly not more.
There are some lower priced heads, like that Black Star Doug Aldrich looks cool for $1500 bucks, but I don’t know about the reliability of amplifiers in that price range $1500 to $2000.

Whatever head it is it’s gotta sound great through vintage 30s. Bogner Snorkeler is still a contender.
 
Mesa JP-2C. I run mine into a Mesa Compact Rectifier 2x12 Cab with V30s.

The obvious thing would be the SL 67 on the Suhr cab, but I agree with Suhr, who prefers the amp with Greenbacks, so it currently sits on a Marshall 4 x 12 with Greenbacks.

SLO 30 (tho it likes greenbacks... my Suhr 2x12 loaded with greenbacks for that reason)
Synergy Syn20IR or Syn 30.... SLO II, Killer Kali or maybe Deliverance module
Suhr PT15IR or non IR

.... lots of great amps out there for under $2000 used these days. Cheers
 
The V30 is a 60 Watt speaker - it pairs very will with the M65 Creamback, which brings more of that Greenback midrange to the table. If you can find an M65 Cream to pair with one of the V30s in your 2x12, you might find a match made in heaven for that SL67 head. And as long as you are happy with the sound, that would also be the most cost-effective approach. The only thing I would add is look for a used M65 - less $$ of course, but Creambacks do sound particularly stiff when out of the box and do take a while to soften up. Let someone else do that for you. I think a lot of players give up on them when they are just a few hrs away from sounding really, really sweet.

Get a Snorkler.

It's a great addition to your lineup without much crossover. It's more modded Marshall with the Bogner lower mid growl.
Sounds great through my Marshall labelled Vintage 30s.
 
I got a nice Friedman Twin Sister up for sale. Killer amp with Strats and humbuckers alike.

The Snorkler is the one I think about the most. I’ve been listening to some of the Alice In Chains albums and some of the YouTube examples. Really good
