Then I played one it was glorious, I'd suggest get your guitar and board and hit the nearest shop that's got one.

Exactly. I tried the 45w combo on Wednesday at A-Strings with a Classic 50s Tele and a LP Jr and it sounded exactly as I'd hoped. It's loud though, even with the attenuation at it's most extreme. It won't break up much at home volume unless your neighbours are out.
I didnt actually try it with pedals but it would obviously work well, and the attenuator lets you find that wonderful sweet spot just before it audibly distorts.
The Bluesbreaker 2x12 combo. Either that or a small box head form the 70s with a 2x12 cab.
Certainly sounds good with my Keeley Rat in front of it imo-
I am not young enough to know everything
It's not exactly a bedroom amp but the sound was glorious with the wet fx going into a fender blues junior.
Worth having a look at the Laney Lionheart L20T. I run mine on the drive channel set low and give it a shove with drive pedals every so often, and the response is definitely in line with what you hear from Dan's Hampstead on the Pedal Show videos.
It's not going to be bang on JTM45, but it's definitely in the "old Marshall" ballpark. I recorded some stuff a while back using a late 70s 50W JMP and the Lionheart- The JMP had a bit more "oomph", but there's not a massive amount of difference.
I don't have a Guv'nor, but I A/Bed a bunch of drive pedals with the amp when I bought it and couldn't get a bad sound.
Don't talk politics and don't throw stones. Your royal highnesses.
