My opinion is that buying a good sounding Fender amp is the most easiest thing in the world. Grap a Bassman, Deluxe Reverb or a Twin and you are safe.

With Marshalls it is way more complex and difficult to get a good one. Being a foremost amp only company they try to cover many terrains, so it is not easy to stumble across the right amp for you. Not every Marshall series carries the Marshall spirit. Such things as hybrid this and that could and will never convince the one who is looking for the real Marshall sound. But then again, Marshall covered terrains from Metal to Blues.

I figured out for myself that my style of playing is best suited with a Marshall amp, may it be the Bluesbraker or the 1974x. The tone is thick and warm, but at the same time very clear. The Marshall is better friend with my pedals and as I am a Rock and Metalhead,too it gives me more balls!

Unfortunately, I have only my Line 6 Flex Marshall Model of a JTM 45, but sure I have played the original often enough to know that it is good for me :-)

I would also like to mention that those Marshall Clones are very good and versatile and I am happy to see that Robert bought this little Heatseeker and will let us have some nice clips form August on!
