Today I met up with Don, a friend from thefret.net, and we ended up at a music store, not surprising. I tested a couple of guitars and amps. What really stood out was the Marshall Haze 40. It sounds great! What an inspiring amp. Both clean and dirty tones were rich sounding, even at low volumes. This amp is definitely worth checking out. I love it.
I also tried the Marshall MA amp, but I didn't like it much. Flat sounding.
The Vintage Modern is also a great sounding Marshall amp, if you dial it in right. Unfortunately, that means you'll have to turn it up quite a bit, and then we're talking LOUD.
I have to say, I am still very, very happy with my Marshal JVM 100 watt head. It is an amazing amp, and I think I'll keep it for a long, long time.
One amp I might buy in the future is a Fender Pro Junior, since I really like the way this amp sounds. Just a great, small combo. It sounds much better than the Blues Junior, I think, although the Blues Junior can sound great too, especially after some mods.
