just wondering if anyone had any ideas for a new amp
looking at prices between 700-1000 aussie dollarsd
i waslookign at the marshall 50DFX anyone know if that is any good??

Any Marshall would be a great choice. If you like it's tone and features I would buy it.

I've heard great things about those Marshalls, but don't rule out the new range of Fender solid state amps, superb quality and value for money. I'd match one against a marshall any day, purely for thier better clean channel

thanks for the replies
yeh i was looking at the fender 65 watt
but i still dont know

Hughes & Kettner is also a great choice if your into a superb clean sound and a great distortion all in one amp.

I would recommend an amp that has a wonderful clean sound because you can get your other effects through pedals. I think the top ones would be marshall or a mesa boogie. I have a Fender and it wasn't bad but they get old quick and you will want to get something better. They are a good amp for starting out is all i am saying. If you play in a band i recommend getting something bigger than a fender 65. But for just jammin it is okay. The clean isn't the best on them either because if it is too loud they get a bit distorted. Anyway there you go.

Fender get old quick?
Thats a very broad generalisation.
I've had my Fender for 6 years and I still love it.
I love it's crisp clean tone, and as you say, you can get your overdrive from pedals.

And for all you marshall fans.
Marshall started out by buying a Fender Bassman and copying it.
Enough said

I would never get sick of hearing a Fender Deluxe reverb or a 60's bassman,Twin the list goes on.........

It all depends on what style your playing........

I use onstage a Crate Vintage Club 50 head.My Marshall JCM 800 stays home most of the time now.A used one can be had for around $250 American..Well worth it.I never thought I'd play through a Crate amp,but I tell the truth,this head rocks.

Get a Carvin Legacy or the Carvin MCS3200. Both are all tube--2 channel--50/100 watt switch--effects loop etc.In 25 yrs of usin EVERY popular valve amps--this is the amp i CHOOSE to play--and its half the price of the new Marshalls--i made the mistake of buyin a new DSL-100 and it SUCKED. They have gone downhill!!

the question is whats the best effects processor out there for live applications??? Is it ananlog or digital?? thats the question, now if it was 5 years ago the answer would be easy but how about now??????

It all depends on what you want out of an effect processor
