Hi, I just got a Special Semi-hollow and am now turning my gear attention to a new amp. I am currently using my friends Blues Jr., but am returning it to him this week as I have had it much longer than anticipated.
My use of the amp will be at home and small gigs (open mic at bars, jamming with others in a studio, etc.).
Disclaimer: I am a huge Dead fan and will be playing Dead tunes 95% of the time.
In an attempt to seek a bit of "Jerry tone", I was thinking about starting with a Twin Reverb, but have read that the volume it takes to reach its optimal sound is very high for home use or even small venue use. I then saw that a Deluxe Reverb with with a JBL speaker would give me some of the tone I am seeking. I also thought about building a cabinet for a JBL and buying a head.
Any thoughts on what could be a good combo setup or head/cabinet setup for:

Any thoughts on what could be a good combo setup or head/cabinet setup for:
- PRS Special Semi-hollow
- home and small venue use
- Jerry tone (I know his tone is much more than an amp)
- Any other factors I may be overlooking
