I've said it before and i'll say it again: GT66 The Groove Tubes model, not the Sterling replica. Good luck finding one, every now and then a used one pops up on Reverb in the $400-$700 range, but the thing just sounds flat out awesome on vocals. My 3 go to's for vocals are a TF51 when I want bright, C414 when I want versatility, GT66 when I want warm

C12s are underrated, I love a ribbon in this situation too
