Thinking about another Marshall

[lank81]

So, I had a DSL50 watt head going through my Avatar 2x12 about 1.5-2 yrs ago and really enjoyed it, fortunately and unfortunately I sold it to fund a Lil Dawg Bassman 59 .

Anyways, I'd like to get back in to that market but don't feel like spending an arm and a leg to do so, so I'll probably go for the used market.

Here are some wants:
1. 50 watts or less
2. Master Volume
3. Combo or Head (doesn't matter) - although I enjoy being able to carry just one thing

Range of Marshall tones I enjoy - Aerosmith, Zeppelin, AC/DC, Slash, Rage/Audioslave, Green Day, Black Keys, RHCP

As you can see I'm kind of all over the place from Classic Blues Rock to 90s alt.

Played a JVM Combo and dug that alot, not sure I want to spend that much. I could always get a DSL again on the cheap.

Although not full tube, the JMD501 combo does sound tastey from what I've listened to online. Any thoughts, suggestions?

I have been infatuated with DSL50s for like two weeeks now. I love those amps...very flexible with killer tone...

Vintage Modern has tone to die for, best crunch in the market. 2266 is 50 watts, but really plays clean like a 20-30 watter. At 50 watt volume levels the tone is pretty crunchy.

I see DSLs on craigslist locally all the time, I'm sure you can get a decent one without busting your budget. I got a stupid deal on a TSL 60 and it works great for me, though it has way more gain than I need.
