When I think Marshall tone, I think of EL34's and Celestion speakers. As far as cheap, low wattage amps that have that, I'm at a loss.

What exactly is low wattage to you?

What about any modeling amps etc. do any of them get the general tone. it dosnt have to be exact or anything its just the general tone i like.

Id say the Laney GH series somewhat get you in that direction. I love mine. Not sure if thats in your price range though.

Carvin X-100's are supposed to be close. I heard a clip and it sounded pretty good. Make sure it has el34's and you run it through a celestion

Get a Vox Valvetronix 120w head and run it into a cab loaded with V30's or similar speakers.

Get a decent single channel 30 watt amp with el34 tubes. Also get a plexitone pedal.

Ouch - I am a huge fan of 800s. I don't know how to do it on a budget.

I will say I like Traynor YBA-1's, trhey are cheap and easy to mod.

A Sovtek amp would likely be the cheapest way to a "800 like" sound.

An 80's 4203 or 3203 Artist is always an option.

Like Imp said, you will always be wanting a Marshall, so just save and get the Marshall. You will wish you did. If you were looking for something a "little different" than a Marshall, that would be a different story.

Prices shure are rising aren't they.
