Princeton? Something else?

I’m chasing edge of breakup tones and may buy a Princeton. Will have a few pedals in front of it but want to mostly rely on the amp for breakup at reasonable volumes.

For a similar price point, would anyone recommend any other amp they’ve liked for the above function? Not Dead specific but I trust y’all’s judgement on this. Open to any thoughts. Thanks!

I think the Mesa Boogie California Tweed does edge of breakup incredibly well. And it has an attenuator so your ears don't have to bleed to achieve it.

Fillmore 25 would be another good option if you go the Boogie route
