Which amp would YOU choose and why?

There are three amps that I'm considering for a warm but well defined tone: Traynor DB300H, Eden WTB400 and Kustom DE300HD. I want a clean sound (all my dirt comes from pedals) with plenty of low mid/mid punch. I will be using the amp with a sealed cab loaded with 2x15+2x6.5 mid drivers.

I own the Kustom DE300H.I love it,it's a great head for the money,if you keep the tube gain low you'll get a great smooth tone.The only issue with it is the weight,around 30lbs.Most people will probably drive you to the Eden head.Kustom,unfortunately,still has a not so good rep,but they have good quality amps,they also have a new class d 500w amp,if you're in to that.

I don't mind the weight as long as it sounds good and is not too expensive. I've read some things about all the heads listed except for the Eden, which is a total mistery. Care to explain why do you think that people will tell me to get it?

How old are you? I'm asking to see if I should get a chair or not

...
Ok, now seriously, it would be great if you could get some clips done.

I haven't seen one in a shop, but internet stores like Thomann carry them.

Mostly because of the good name the Eden brand comes along with.For what i've seen i think it is also made in china and it's not much more expensive.But,because i never tried it, i can only advice according to my experience and the Kustom DE300h is a great deal.

I like Traynor, Made In Canada and at a good price point too! It will last a very long time since it is quality. Cheers.
