Marshall 1974x - sounds insanely good - just like my 18 watt Heatseeker! The cabinet in the 1974x is great and so is the tremolo - very sweet. The amp is top notch, but mine sounds almost the same but costs a lot less...:AOK:
Marshall Vintage Modern 50w combo - this amp does both vintage tones as well as modern tones. I really liked this amp. It's a one channel amp but it has a sort-of boost function, which I think kicks in an extra tube. The results is "ooomph-to-the-bone!" This amp is killer. Check it out guys.
Orange Tiny Terror - nice, but I played it through an Orange 1x12 and it sounded very boxy and "tiny" (excuse the pun). I bet it would sound big through a 4x12. It had a nice tone, but you had to pretty much max out the amp volume wise to get those happening tones. On the other hand, it didn't seem very loud, so it's not gonna blow your ear drums. This amp is 7/15 watts (switchable) but even at 15 watts, it's way quieter than my Heatseeker. It didn't impress me at all on the 7 watt setting (no "terror" happening...;) ).
Fender Hot Rod Deluxe - great little amp with lots of volume and great clean tones. Great grab and go amp. Personally, I'd pick a good Marshall though (like those mentioned above), just because I'm a bit tired of the Fender sound.
There you go; my little mini-review from my guitar store hogging trip! :Dude:
