It's kind of like asking, "Hey what's a fast car?" it's a pretty huge question when it's left that open. If money is no object, then your going to be able to pick anything, but if money is a consideration, it will limit your choices. You did mention a 100 Watt Marshall and that's a good way to go. Pretty much any 100 watt marshall will be "loud". Combo, Stack, half stack, whatever. 100 Watts of Marshall Amplification would certainly qualify under the "Loud" category. So If the Marshall is within your budget, it's a fine choice. Practice! Todd You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

The loudness is just silly A friend tried it before it got discounted, and it was taking out his ears halfway to 1. It does sound good as well, if it has the sound youre after Its also really cheap used. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Just don't forget that head+cab weight a whole lot more than that 30W combo. I would recommend 212 cab with that. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

In my experience 50 watts is just right. 100 is too much while 30 and below is too weak. In theory there's not much difference between 30 and 50 watts but while cranking the 30 watter you still have plenty left on a 50 watter. Usually 30 watters and below use EL84 while more powerful amps use other tubes and to me it seems that, spite the small difference measured in watts, EL34 tubes come out a lot harder.

I would consider solid state 100W because it's cheaper and easier to carry. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

I'd rather have a 2x12 combo You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content! Don't miss today's free blues, jazz & country licks.
