Tube amp


I already post a thread about this, but after trying and reading, some changes have been made.

I found out that I can get used amps much cheaper, so what could you recommend? I look for a versatile amp with good cleans and good high gain channels. 2 or more channels. If possible at least 2 preamp eqs, it could come with a pedal or not, but i prefer the pedal included. preferably 2 speakers if combo. New should be no more than 1500 or 1600 as i can just use 15000 pesos (1150 dollars more or less) Head or combo, but 50 watts, tried some 100 watt combos and i had to try them with volume on 1 as they were loud even in the store (if master can help with this, 100w could be fine). I just tried some amps, liked b52, but I read about lot of reliability problems, i liked a bugera but does not have very clean channel, more like a subtile crunch. Peavey valveking sounds good, but maybe like too stiff, like its working hard, not really smooth. I saw some engl and like them, specially since they have 50watt heads(a half stack looks better right?) I saw some orange amps but they are just too expensive, twice than I have to spend and tiny terror doesn't have fx loop (i want to still use my boss gt.
About Marshalls, I heard I can get some good deals on them, but I tried one, jcm200 dsl401 i think (it might be this one http://www.gbase.com/files/store_ima...tswqbat_so.jpg) but I didn't like it, I felt it too bright, trebly and controls didn't do much. Maybe its just me, not knowing how to tweak, maybe the sound is not form me or in fact the amp is not that good, call me whatever you like, but that specific model wasn't really for me. Tell me if every marshall is like that and what do you think I should buy. Sorry for the bad English (take in account that i live in Mexico and many brand are unknown or really expensive, so suggest some not that hard to find models , please) Regards

Re: Tube amp


it can do metal(might need extra gain from pedals if you're going for alot of it), and has the greatest cleans
look it up on youtube, there's a review by mizike
