Re: Marshall question.
How about a JTM 45 with a Verbzilla at the front end? This is actually a 5881/6L6 amp but what the heck :laugh2:

Re: Marshall question.
JTM 50 would be closer since it used EL34's. The JTM 45 used 5881's then KT66's. Still, not a bad idea.

Re: Marshall question.
There is not, a JTM 50 woudl be the closest but you're looking at a LARGE chunk of money. Best option I can give you is a Matchless Clubman Reverb...it does have EL34's, it does have reverb and it does have a tube rectifier...it also is a killer amp and sounds amazing...like a kick ass JTM45.

Re: Marshall question.
That's a "killer" amp also! My buddy owns 2 of the Clubman amps,though I think one is only a 30 watter?

Re: Marshall question.
Christian is right. Nothing from Marshall, but the Matchless Chieftain is the best out there with those specs. Expensive tho.
Maybe a blue Traynor combo would be a less expensive option, but it's a SS rectifier. A lot of people prefer SS rectifiers because the bottom end is tighter.
Tube recs always have more sag and a spongier bottom.

Re: Marshall question.
John is right...the Clubman is only 30-35 watts but it is a LOUD ass 30-35 watts!
I know that the Clubman is pricy but those are well worth every penny IMO...
As to what Marshall has against reverb...it kills off a good bit of tone...

Re: Marshall question.
Im not saying reverb isn't great but it is a well known fact that is lots of amps it can effect the tone in a negative way...

Re: Marshall question.
Its interesting, but I have found that a great amp really doesn't need it. I did not ever think I would say that, but a really good sounding amp sounds full and rich without reverb, I go with John........ get a good sounding amp and if you want reverb get external reverb. The Fender Reverb units are pretty awesome.

Re: Marshall question.
Reverb isn't usually used on non-master Marshalls, because they are based tonally around the concept of overdiving the output tubes. This would garble the reverb to a degree.
A JTM45 can be converted to EL34 use. It's actually not that uncommon.

What the **** are you talking about?
The older models come with the option of Verb and EQ. So, you lose, sir.

Re: Marshall question.
? What models are you talking about?
Blackflag, your search is very similiar to someone wanting a tweed deluxe with a solid state rectifier and vibrato, no dice man, no dice.
The clubman would be a good choice, also you might consider looking at some small builders.

Re: Marshall question.
I'll say this about Marshalls....They sound better to me overdriven without reverb....I do like reverb with my NMV Marshall though for playing clean.Mine is almost clean in a nice 59 Bassman kinda way and I Love the way reverb with my amp help fills out the clean tones....If I go overdriven though,I'll then stomp out of the verbzilla pedal and get back the crunch and note articulation we get from our great old Marshalls!
