Re: Need help choosing an amp

EDIT: More options:

Marshall Valvestate 8080
Marshall Lead 20 combo
Marshall Lead 12 head

Any of these any good? Damn i miss my 2203 right now

I have a Valvestate as my bedroom amp and love it. Check out these user reviews on the 8080.

Look into the Blackstar amp lines as well. Most of them might be a little out of your price range, but they are A LOT of bang for the buck. I was considering an HT-5 before went "**** it!", shelled out twice the money and got a Marshall 2244C instead. The HT-5 would still have been an awesome choice, though.

Laney VC30. Buy s/h to ensure you get a UK-made one.

Hey Axl! I'd also add the Laney LC30. Again, used, so that you can get the UK made model. It should be similar in price.

Re: Need help choosing an amp

Got an amp today.

Called up the guy who had the Valvestate 8080 and snagged for a ultra low price... So I have an amp for band use, that should be able to do some decent tones, until I can afford a JCM800 in a few months. It aint halfbad actually, once you get the volume going it works quite well and can do some decents high gain tones

Any recommended settings for the 8080?

Thanks for all the help, sorry that it was such a hassle. Living in a country with 55% income tax, 25% import tax and various added taxes makes it very expensive to buy gear. But thanks for a all the great suggestions, some great amps on here. Cant wait to leave Denmark one day, and get to a country with better priced gear

Now the decision.. To save up for a 2203 or a SLO.. Got a year to think so what the hell

Save for a Cornford MK50 mate, it would suit your needs.... I doubt you'd regret it!
