Re: For the guys who have more than 2 amps...
Certainly....
Take 4 parts Marshall, add an extra gain stage (about 25-35%+ more gain than a JCM 800), give it a smidge of top end chime of a Vox, push about 5-10% of those Marshall upper mids to lower mids. Give it a real cleans.
The GH100L doesn't fatigue the ears in the treble part of the eq like many amps do, a little softer/more pleasant on the top end. The mids are darker and not so hard hitting as the standard Marshall sound, but still mid strong, just shaped different. Pretty good cleans, not just good for a metal amp, really, really, good cleans for any amp, but no, not that perfect Fender clean.
People who know cleans, know that Fenders are the measuring stick. This is about 85-90% that, where I would put the best Marshall cleans at about 70-75% on that scale. I like my cleans chimey, not flat. Give me cleans with that extra dimension without resulting to effects.
The only downside to the GH100L is that it is a single channel amp, with the extra gain stage footswitchable. Getting a good clean takes a dial turn, not just a bump of a footswitch. But, a single channel amp is a simplier amp. There is something to be said for simplicity.
