Calling on the pool of Fretboard amp knowledge SORTED

Nobody's mentioned FX Loop Y/N, so ....

Do you need an FX Loop (the answer's yes ) ?

Actually its a no well at least not for FX. It would need to have a preamp out/power amp in, or the ability to disconnect the speaker i.e have the speaker connected via jack as opposed to having it hardwired in

If buying from guitarguitar make sure you check whether you are getting an ex demo or not...they have a tendency to send out well used stuff as new.

That's true, but they're selling a new amp for more or less the second hand price and with a full warranty, so not too bad a deal even if it is...

I had an Artisan 15 combo with the greenback speaker and it was superb at home and took pedals perfectly! I did put Mullard valves in it though.
Highly recommended!

I always recommend the cornford amps mate. The hurricane and roadhouse 30 are worth a look. Especially if you are wanting plenty of mids. They go for pretty good prices these days. You'll need a used tho as they've gone bust.

my guitarist has a roadhouse 30 and it's awesome, wish i had nabbed it first as it was a steal! i am off to see an amp this week so i might be sorted but thanks guys i will report back!

Yeah had a Roadhouse 30 head. Loved it. Takes pedals well and is super light. Had the mk50 as well, awesome but too much for what I needed. Always fancied a hurricane to be honest.

Indeed the amp i am after will basically serve as a clean tone which i will feed my pedal board into, although having a few extra features wouldn't hurt for other eventualities.

I saw a puretone head for sale on here some time ago and quite liked the look of it but having just rechecked (the combo is between 1200 and nearly 2 grand new!) i dont think i could afford it, even less so the MJW but damn that looks nice :P

The Puretone is a brilliant pedal platform. I love mine. 

They are stupid expensive new, but they don't seem to go for all that much SH.
