Hey all-
As you may recall, I thought my buddy had what was going to be a great jcm800 all-tube 1x12 combo, but it turned out not to be.
So I started trying out some different models by Marshall and other amps, and even considered another dsl401 (but was too traumatised over my lemon of a 401 I originaly had [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] ).
I finaly tried out an AVT50, the 'hybrid' Marshall, and was really impressed with the heavy, clean, and classic rock overdrive tones I was getting out of it, it has pretty much everything I want right now: excellent value, smallish size, and sounds great at bedroom levels without cranking it while still being loud enough to practice/jam or play small gigs with.
I found one on ebay and won it at 200 bucks, 260 shipped to my door.
No it isn't the exact same tone I was able to get from the dsl401 when I cranked the hell out of it (and when it decided to work [img]/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif[/img] ) but it is very close and it will definitely hold me over until I need to upgrade to a bigger amp, or until i have the dough to blow on a $1k+ all tube setup [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
Not huge news, but it's made my Chirtmas a rockin one this year [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
Thanks again for all the opinions and suggestions and help when i asked for it before! And have a merry Christmas everyone! (happy holidays) [img]/images/graemlins/toast.gif[/img]
