New amp! What should I look for?

10-02-2005, 09:45 PM

Hello to all,

I'm looking for a new amp. So far my criteria is this;

2x12 celestion type speakers
Closed back combo
EL-34
50w maximum
Marshall crunch (Plexi, not JCM)
Single channel

I also want it to take pedals well so I can can set the amp for low gain crunch, then build on it for lead stuff.

I don't want a load of features like FX loops and that stuff, just a straight up rock amp!

Thanks,
-Benja
