Main amp is a Marshall DSL100H with Headfirst mods.

I have to admit as time goes I suspect the Synergy 20 will get the most gig time as I have 2 preamp modules now and can get more. It really does sound amazing and so versatie with rhe xlean channel built in....

I got one of those when they first came out. My very first high power Marshall. No mods, just straight from the factory. Truly a great amp.
Shaman approved. Jumped right on it before I even got it hooked up.

That is a beautiful Cat!
My first Tube Amp was the DSL40c, which is quite similar to this one. It is held back by that stock 70/80 speaker, but through a nice Cab, it sings. I still use it regularly.

Thanks. He was around six when I took that shot. He'll be 18 in November along with his brother. They're Norwegian Forrest Cats.

Sorry, but have to give the Lawyer's Answer™: it depends on the circumstances.
For my main band that plays old school '70s style punk rock and roll, it's my Sovtek "Tube Midget" (sorry to any Little People) MiG 50H 50W head, with any number of cabs.
4x12:
2x12:
1x15:
But (there's always a "but"), I also play in two sidebands. One does performance art/experimental, no drums. The other is a grrrl-fronted cover band. Both of these bands play far less loud than the main band. For those lower-volume bands, I always use my Fender Super Champ XD (hybrid 15W 1x10), both in practice and for gigs. Sometimes for gigs I pair it with a second small amp for a bit more volume, most often my Marshall Lead 20 (ss 20W 1x10):
Since the 2 sidebands, at least together, play more gigs than the main band, and since I do use other amps for the main band (at practice at our drummer's we have a full backline so I use his Marshall DSL 100 into a 1986 4x12 cab, plus I've gigged lots of other amps with the main band, most recently my Ampeg Reverberocket R212R 50W combo, but also my Fender Bassbreaker 18/30 2x12 combo and Marshall 3210 Mosfet Lead 100 head), numerically over all the li'l SC XD gets played the most by far.

If you use the BBCode you won't get that Imgur border.
...and what is that microscopic mini micro half stack on top?

The mini is a guitar pick holder. The top has slots in it to hold a bunch. My daughter got that for me.If you use the BBCode you won't get that Imgur border.

I have no idea what BBCode is and how to use it? I'll try to learn though cause that boarder on it sux.

I recently moved a few of my amps and added a my first Tweed amp, a JTM ST20H, and a 2555x Jubilee.
My only two long-term owned tube amps are a JTM45 Clone and a Marshall Astoria Classic (which is a keeper).
I’ve been an old school 4-Hole Marshall guy the past 15 years, and I’ve owned quite a a few vintage NMV Marshall amps from years 1969 to 1976.
I am currently using the 2555x Jubilee the most.
I am spending time trying to get tones that I like out of the Jubilee and deciding whether to keep the amp. I am having fun finally using an amp that doesn’t need an OD pedal for lower volume gain.
The Astoria is under the cover with the ST20H setting on top.

Never used the BBCCode. I've been clicking the "Direct Link" and pasting that into the appropriate place. Been working pretty slick for me. May have to try that and see what it does different.Second from the bottom...
