WTB cheap, SS backup amp head

jdbwales

After an irritating example of live amp cockuppery at Saturday's gig I'm on the hunt for a backup solid state amp head. It needs to be:

Solid state (obviously)
Cheap (like £80 delivered max)
Loud (80-100w ideally)
Capable of decent levels of gain
Equipped with reverb
Equipped with a Fx loop

....and that's about it. I'd be after a SS Marshall or Fender head really, MG, VS, FM100h - not too precious really, as long as it works and fits the criteria - it's just for emergencies!

What have you?

I picked up a good deal on a Marshall 8100 as a safety net for my Marshall 50w valve head,  - perfect for the job, in fact a good alternative for main amp!! ...or even look at its combo version, the 8080, ...very understated but loud biting rock amp... you can find those for low price, even strip it out and build yr own head cab ( cheaper option, that way you get a spare speaker in the bargain!!)
