Get a Marshall DSL50 and 1960AV (4 vin 30's). Then, get a good OD pedal, like an OCD or Maxon OD-820. If you're looking for a great British highgain sound, that's the easiest way for $1500.

a mesa single rectifier is worth looking into and it will give you exceptionally good cleans for a high gain amp, and of course it will deliver an awesome lead channel.

50 watts is a good power rating to cover 99% of any playing situation you'll ever be in. i find 100 watts to be too much. i think the difference in percieved volume is actually as little as 3-6 dB, which isn't much, but the main difference is in the headroom. i like the earlier breakup of my amp running at 50 watts as opposed to 100. this way i can get my tone without drowning out the rest of the band.

So far im liking VHT, Mesa rec, and the Marshall DSL2000 DSL50. 3's Company I havent been able to look into Bogner or Diezel, can't find them.

If you're dropping $1500 on an amp, make sure you know the difference between Vox and Mesa

BTW, AC30s are SWEEEEEET!
