GAS strikes again! This time I'm looking to upgrade from my little Blackstar Ht-5.
I play a lot of different music so needs to be versatile but key tones are: good cleans (John Mayer-esque preferred), and good marshally crunch tones.
I play a lot of blues/blues rock (especially Clapton), Rock ( big GNR fan), and metal (Metallica and Iron Maiden mostly)
Needs to have a di out & some kind of attenuation so I can use it at home and for recording as well as rehearsals and gigs
I've been looking at either:
Blackstar series one 104 (probably the el34 version)
Marshall JCM 2000 TSL 100
Hughes&Kettner TubeMeister deluxe 40
What do people think of them?
I've found the marshall on ebay for about £250 (plus postage) - but has no footswitch
Blackstar £300- £360
or Hughes and Kettner £490 (though I may be able to haggle that down a bit)
Is it worth the extra 100 odd quid for the portability of the H&K???
Cheers
