Lately I've been playing through a DRRI. Love the clean side. Scooped mids...very "fender".
The only problem is when I kick on my TS-9 it doesn't have the same ballsy sounded (it's moded to have more low end). A pedal doesn't sound the same infront of all amps. Dang it!

A couple of Tele critters with Glendale bridges/saddles and Lollar Vintage T pickups straight into a tweed amp -- usually a Vickie Deluxe.
FrankenTele (parts from 60's, 70's and 80's) through a 100watt Marshall Mk II, alongside a Dr. Z Maz 38... pure tone heaven!
Dang, a MkII and a Dr. Z!

My favorite personal Tele tone to date:

I use a Texas Tele and Barber DD through an AC30 TB.
I love using the Tele through tweeds ('59 Pro, '56 Twin, '57 Deluxe), but I also like the Lab Series stuff...

98 Am Std tele -> TS-9 -> DRRI
Works for me.

Like Keef said a Fender through a Fender! Tweeds are my Fav. All of them!!!
I've only had my Tele for about a month, but it sounds like heaven through my Demeter, which has a Bassman kinda flavor. It really sings with the SPB in the bridge!
'06 MIK Lite Ash through my '94 Blues Deluxe... Check the Avatar...
I think I already posedt a pic of my Tweed Deluxe with a Tele in this thread--a while ago. Now the TR is here, and both have their place with the Teles in my life: a year 2000 Nocaster and a new LTD edition Custom Tele.
Tele Love!

Thanks
Got a MIA Tele with a maple neck. After a few pickup changes I've settled with DiMarzio's Tone Zone T bridge and a Virtual Vintage Strat neck pickup. I play it thru my stock DRRI. I also use (sparingly) a digital delay and a compressor. It's a nice, simple setup that I use for clean tones. Being just an at home player it suits me fine.
The Lead/Lag Bassman,Thanks
thats the Shit!
Well after some of these posts I don't know why I'm even bothering, but I've been playing my new Baja through my Silvertone 1484 Twin Twelve and 4x12 cab (because my Twin's not done yet) with my new country band. I've got the amp dimed and I'm using the volume on my guitar to control the amount of clean. The wide open sound with no effects sounds like one of Townsend's Hi-Watts (think Won't get fooled again)! Just incredible tone. When I use position 2 and roll back the volume, it's got that growly Brad Paisly twang. I'm really diggin' this guitar (and I've always loved the amp!)
...and on the 8th day, God created the Super Reverb and there was ROCK, and it was GOOD!
Orange Rocker 30 is outstanding with my Teles.

sorry double post
Thanks
All I can say is DAMN,awsome
I just bought it on Saturday but right now, for me, it's the Tele + Marhsall JTM 610 (with a new output transformer after the original failed)
I also played it through my little Vox Valvetronix and it sounded good with the boutique clean and the emulated tweed 4x10. The Vox isn't a bad amp at all...I'm actually quite impressed with the verstatility of it (and the effects aren't bad once you figure out how to use them).
