It'd probably need new innards and speakers to sound right though.

The SV20H is seriously good. It’s all the good stuff about a Plexi with barely any inconvenience and it also won’t obliterate everyone standing within a 50ft radius of it. (Although it is legitimately loud in its own right.)
it’s non-master Marshall loud. I.e. seems like twice what it’s rated at.

If for home use I'd look at the SC20, 2525, or DSL20 or 40.
I have a DSL20 and never fet the channel volume past 9 o'clock at home, even on the 10 watt mode. Swapped out the stock speaker for a Greenback. Sounds great. 2 channels and switchable fx loop, which is great because you can put e.g. reverb/ delay and eq in the loop and switch them all on at once with a single button push.
Very rare and increasing in price all the time. I could buy a banged up JCM800, change a few caps and put 6550s in it but still. I've played Tim Mills' (BKP) amp, boosted with a Keeley SD-1 and it was perfect.
If I were you, I'd be checking out the 20 watt range, try a few and see what you like. They have the 'major' classics - ST is JTM45 flavour, SV is plexi, SC is JCM and there's also a silver jubilee one.
Having gigged a combo based on the JTM45 circuit, that's the one I'd have as it would have the best clean platform. But that's not what a log of people buy Marshall amps!
And as mentioned, the newer Sv20’s are almost as good and a lot more convenient
I'm also a big fan of the Studio Jubilee which I've had for about 6 years now. It does that modded Marshall sound perfectly to my ears, and the EQ actually works unlike a lot of Marshalls!
Also if you can find one, the Astoria Custom is awesome.
A DSL40CR is best bang for buck Marshall today, esp, with a 6 button footswitch. 4 channels, lead boost, reverb and fx loop. The crunch channel is truly excellent and covers a lot of the JMP territory. I gig one very regularly and don’t use any dirt pedals or boosts.
If I was buying a Marshall it'd genuinely be a mini stack.
