Hope you guys can help. Hopefully, this isn't too tall of an order.
Here's what I'm looking for: a two-channel, 1x12 or 2x12 combo amp that gives me a good Marshall-esque tone on the drive channel, that costs anywhere from 750 to a thousand bucks.
I've tried a Marshall DSL40C, but their clean channel is useless. I've tried the Orange TH30 combo, but I don't have enough control over bass tones in the dirty channel. All the lower strings have had kind of a fuzz tone which I could not dial away. It had a 12 inch Celestion G12H.
I tried the Hughes & Kettner Tubemeister 18, which I like, but I'm waiting to see if anyone has any maintenance horror stories about it.
I used to own a Mesa Boogie Mark 5. I couldn't dial in a bass tone that I liked. It sounds very blubby after a certain point.
I also tried a Blackstar HT Club 40 for one gig. Horrible.
I play a Les Paul with a Seymour Duncan SH-4 JB model pickup in the bridge position.
I hope someone can offer a suggestion. Thx.
