Re: Marshall tone on a budget?
I would go with the 1W JMP and slave it out if more power were needed later.

Re: Marshall tone on a budget?
I'm in that boat as we speak, trying to get those tones with a JCM800 2203 100w head.
What I've found so far is that the head alone will do AC/DC (Bon Scott up to Back in Black) tones just fine by itself (not that I've tried to cop the tones from anything beyond Back in Black - could still be the same tone he's using today).
I'm running a Carvin VE212 cabinet with their "British" speakers (not sure of the exact model - there's a Union Jack on the back of them). The cab's got a lot of midrange punch and clarity, so you might consider speaker choices. What little I know about speakers is that certain makes/models favor certain tonal characteristics - middy, trebly, etc.
