Hey man, whatever you do DONT buy that Marshall 100W combo. I have AVT50X and it sounds much better than that, believe me! Bogdan can confirm that too, since we have one AVT100X in the studio and I play it occasionally when I don't bring my own amp. I bring my AVT50X to rehearsals just because AVT100X sounds very synthetic and non-marshally. You will not get a Marshall sound there trust me.
I too am a big fan of Marshall tone and, knowing all the models, for that money I would definitely recommend a DSL401. You will have a Marshall all tube tone, and believe me 40W of that Marshalls tube power is very very loud. It has a great overdrive channel too. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

wow man, thats too expensive... ripoff
 Well, if you choose between AVT100 and AVT50 I would definitely recommend AVT50 because it has a better sound. I've played over 40 gigs with it and it IS good enough for gigs up to say 300-400 people (with good PA system). -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

You should check up what Laneys go for in Denmark and try one that fits your price limit.
EDIT: One of the tube amps that is This post has been edited by MickeM: Jan 5 2008, 02:54 AM -------------------- My bands homepage

QUOTE (Skewlbuzz @ Jan 4 2008, 09:01 PM)  I'm looking for a new amp to replace my old (and horrible) Marshall MG15CDR. I'm mainly gonna use the amp for home practice and band rehearsal, but also some small gigs. Since I live in an apartment I will really need the amp to have a headphone jack, so I can avoid being kicked out on the street   If in Denmark try: EskildsensGet a Line6 Spider Valve, Tubes all the way, screaming and Boogner designed Class AB tube amp through (2) 12AX7 preamp tubes and (2) 6L6 power tubes, awesome sound, you can make ANY soundscape with it (read: throw away your old effects) all your adjustments can be saved in 36 different memorybanks, the endless presets makes it ekstremly fun to play when you are bored or if you are to drunk to dail in your own sound, and its LOUD MAN! Have fun   --------------------  Guitar: Ibanez RG370DXCE my backup is a Fender Strat. Amps: Marshall MG and Line6 Spider III 75W combo (preferred)  Recording stuff: Cubase SX3, Logic emagic, Novation ReMote SL, M-Audio Pro Synth experiance: Roland, MoTu, Native Instrument, Spectrasonics and Steinberg Main VST's: Kontakt2, FM8, Bass station, Ezdrummer, MoTu EI, Atmosphere, Crystall |

So you have a little less than 600 Euro to spend?
The thing about using your amp for both home practice and band rehearsal means you'll be moving it aroud a lot, right? Just so you know, tube amps are a bit sensitive about being carries around too much. A nice setup for band rehearsal that could last you a lifetime woule be a Laney GH50L  But it's a bit too expensive.Something that could work for you and almost fit your budget is if you get this cabinet from musicstore.de (competitor to thomann in germany) Fame G1 or a smaller 2x12 may be nicer The smaller 2x12 would cost you 333E and then you could put that in the rehearsal room and carry Laney LC15R back and forth. And belive it or not but here you could save a buck by getting it from www.jam.se in Sweden, it's even cheaper than getting it from the UK. 2995 SEK = 315 Euro A fair guess is that this made to look like Marshall amp will deliver fair enough Marshall sound and 255 Euro + 20 Euro for delivery and you'll have an amp that will last you a few years before you feel like upgrading. And get a V-Amp 2 for 85 Euro to use with headphones in your apartment and for recording. In total 360 E. The original V-Amp came out as a copy of the POD, probably still it so its likely good enough sounding. Or add 40 Euro for the 50W of the same model. I don't know anything about these Fame amps. I know they had a copy of Laboga Hector out, handwired in Poland or something, and there's a copy out of Peavey JSX and Mesa Boogie Rectifier. The 255Euro models I suggested as a low budget solution are made in China, just like the Peavey Valve King (together 80% of everything in our homes )One more option if you want to start off with something you could build further with and that could work for you now if you have a PA in the rehearsal room is if you get a pre amp, like ENGL E-530 as a brilliant example. Connect it to the PA for band rehearsals, use it at home with head phones, a cabinet, your stereo. It's only 1,5W power amp. In the future you can add a power amp to this unit and get a rack effects unit and a large cabinet for a full rig. -------------------- My bands homepage
