Hello folks
I've got approximately 2000 euro to spend on a nice amp. I'd like your suggestionsif you dont mind...
I like Slash / Blues type music.
I had a look at a marshall half stack. Are half stacks too loud for bedroom playing is basically my other question?
Thanks in advance

you can play softly with a half stack, but if you are not gonna use it other places than in your bedroom you can ust buy a combo instead.... they are cheaper and kick ass for practise

Plus, an all tube Marshall-or any other tube amp- will sound best when played loud.

Thats what I suspected! What do u guys think of the marhshall dsl 401 tube combo?? I heard its really nice but gets quite hot. And I dont think smaller combos would need to be played as loud as a half stack in order to get that nice tone? |

I used to own a TSL60 Head and that was fucking sweet too ... but not as nice as my 900... I sold the TSL to put cash towards my 900 Head.  Slash sounds GALORE! |

You can get a good deal if you find one used. They easily go for under $1000 used. |

Peavey JSX. Most versatile amp in the world. Get the combo or a head w/ cab. If you've got the money there should be no other amp you want to buy.

Get a Vox AC-30 and a THD Hot Plate. That will take care of your noise problems and give you the sweet cranked tube sound. Trust me

Or go with a hot plate like the person above mentioned. |

Buy a Marshall Plexi JMP from the late 70's that's the best sounding amp Marshall ever did.
and that's slash's tone all the way, and a lot more.
