After trying to decide whether to go for a valve amp or something like a Katana.
I'm so glad that I picked the Marshall DSL40CR. I just love the way valve amps clean up when you roll back the volume. This is a very versatile amp, the clean channel is great and the crunch and drive the amp produces are good too. The amp has a 40 or 20-watt mode and I also use it with the Harley Benton PA-100 Power Attenuator so I can use it for practising at home.
In conclusion, I feel I have made an excellent choice. I can highly recommend this, it's plenty loud enough for gigging. If you have only used a modelling amp before you should really give a proper tube amp a try.
