Hi folks...brand new to the forum...got a question for you....

I'm looking for an all-tube amp, 15-30 watts that can cover classic Marshall sounds. I love that EL34 sound. I'm looking for a combo amp...either 1x12 or 2x12 with celestion G12's or similar...something that can get good full-bodied crunch at normal levels (without destroying a small city). I mainly record and play in church (large church which seats close to 3,000, but we put a mic on the amp).

I currently use a Marshall DSL50 with all voiced JJ tubes through a 4x12 Mojave cabinet with Celestion G12s. BUT I HATE lugging that beast around and at 50W, I have to kill people to get the sound I'm going for. I'm going to sell these and get something manageable.

I play a Les Paul Jr. Double cutaway (custom made) with a single 9K Wolfetone Marshallhead pickup....use a Keely modded Boss BD-2 Blues Driver, and I have a Seymour Duncan Twin Classic on the way....

The sound I love..."JukeBox Hero" and "Double Vision" (Foreigner), "Flirtin With Disaster" (Molly Hatchet), "Train" (Blackfoot), etc.

Everything is game...expensive, inexpensive, from Crate to Dr. Z....let me know your thoughts...

Talk to me....

Clay
