Marshall
4.3
(28)
"I love my Marshall DSL5CR for exactly this purpose."
"I am very impressed. Switchable tube amp, with effects loop and di recording."
"The master volume is great to be able to get that gain at a volume low enough not to drive my wife crazy."
"I plugged into the DSL20CR... and I walked out with that instead of the EVH."
"All the features of the 100 watt head, sounds amazing at low or loud volumes."
"I’m a fan of the Marshall DSL 40CR. Can play quiet with Master switch and can power down to 20w."
"I'd suggest the Marshall JVM210c. Absolute beast."
"Grab an old Marshall Lead 12. It may look like cheap SS combo from the 80s."
"Marshall Origin 50 Combo for your needs all day long."
"You should consider the Marshall DSL5 tube combo amp."

"Also a Peavey 6505 is the same as a 5150 and typically cheaper."
"I'd look into a peavey bandit if you just need something to beat up."
"The Peavey JSX, XXX, and Ultra series all have good cleans and nasty distortion."
"Peavey Delta Blues, Peavey Classic 30 or 50, Roland Blues Cube, DSL40CR, AC10, AC15."
