Currently using a Marshall MD100DFX, but want to change to a valve amp.

Guitarwise I've got a US Deluxe Strat and a Gibson Standard and generally play rock (Foo's, Green Day, Chilli's type stuff).

(Needs to be useable for home practice)

Still looking for a combo and would pay between £500 to £1000. Any views on best kit?

do you like the Marshall sound?
DSL401. Stick a Vintage 30 in it and spend the change from your budget on loose women!

I would SERIOUSLY consider the JVM combo. A fellow forumite is selling one in the "electrics" forum area for £750. Excellent amp. Has 2 master volumes for home use and plenty volume for live.

The Cornford Carrera is a superb combo in your price bracket.

It is 5 to 8 watts, with swappable valves, FX loop, reverb and more importantly than anything else, a great sound.

Does it need to be gigable AND practice use at home, or just home use ?

Suppose I should have asked that before suggesting a 100W behemoth.

christ there are litterally 10's in that price range.............you dont 'have' to use power section OD to get a nice sound out of a valve amp at home you know.

apart from the usual Fender/Peavey/Laney suspects............

What about a Rivera Clubster ? and I was mighty impressed with that Fender Super Sonic from yesterdays post (be interesting to hear some views when it arrives)

at that price, assia is your oyster. Is there anything in specific you want/don't want from the amp?
