My old Fender Bassman - don`t know what wattage it was - was incredibly loud, but at those volumes a clean sound would not come out of it. I`m sure it would have given my 500 watt mini-amps a run on volume, but clean, not a chance.

lozz is spot on
my old orange ad140b valve amp was bloody defining however was totally over driven and dirt, where as my tb1000 can go silly loud and unless i crank the gain stay clean, however best loud clean amp ive had was still my markbass lm2.
but in general i have the 1000 even tho really id be fine with the 500 just so if i need to push the volume up a bit im not running the amp at above 12 o clock
