Poll: which amp?

[Mr Grumpy]

Is it here yet?

There are two problems

1) I sent it to the wrong address its coming to me here in Korea not to the US. I will try harder next time..

2) it's not even been sent out yet, not in stock. Should be sent out within the next couple of days then arrive to me a week later.

It's just a cheap ss - I really want to see what a mid sized ss is like nowadays. It's not an orange, very nearly went for the 35w ss Orange, I need to try an orange amp. But, it's probably as close to a four channel black and gold thing that you can get for the price.

Just at purchasing moment I was swayed by a very good video that I thought sounded great, and had just the kinda bluesy sound I like in Channel 2 and the punky distortion I like in Channel 3, and decent cleans, and an OK reverb and very easy to use, and an interesting octave setting that I would like to play around with , and it looks pretty cool, and it'll be easy to quite directly compare against the dsl5 that I had.

I am not a fan of DSL distortion tones either. Too fizzy, not much character. OK for the price I guess but far from what you hope for in a high-gain Marshall.

The dsl5 lost the fizz with a speaker change, but yeah fizzy as hell on the standard speaker - my Randall had a nicer drive sound than the stock little dsl.

I actually felt the same with that Randall 5w amp into the same 2x12 I had a Blackstar HT20 plugged into.
My short list is down to these with me looking closer at some of the Peavey heads.
Marshall DSL50
Marshall DSL20
Marshall Origin 20
Randall RD20/45
Listening to all kinds of Demo's now.
