Only been playing 2 years, and have been using a Peavey Audition 7w practice amp. While it has been ok to learn on, it lacks tone, the distortion is just fuzz and the input jack plays up as it is soldered direct to the circuit board.
However, last week I turned 40 & my beloved got me a Marshall AVT 100. The valve preamp gives a nice warm sound, whilst the solid state power amp allows that tone at a variety of volumes.
I know it isn't pure valve goodness, but by god it's am improvement. I struggle to put my guitar down and find myself sitting at work wanting nothing more than to explore the sound possibilities.
3 Channels, each with gain, channel volume and a "tone" switch (bright for the clean channel, scoop on each od channel)
One tone section for clean (treb, mid, low)
One tone section shared by each OD channel (treb, mid, low)
Master presence
Master Volume
Mix level for effects loop
Built in effects selector, effect adjustment & effect mix level
It's very easy to get a good sound, but the digital fx are not all great
