I'm looking to buy a new amp, probably looking for a single channel amp to use pedals either running a clean amp or an amp slightly breaking up. I like the sound of a nice warm creamy sounding amp nothing too shrill or cold or bright.
I play Rock/blues/funk and some jazz fusion.
I've been looking at plexi style amps, dumble style etc etc and to be honest its now driving me mad!
I currently use a Fender Hot Rod Deville ML and its a great sounding amp but maybe too bright for me. Shame really cos I like the headroom it has when boosting it for solos etc.
I'd probably be looking at something around 50 watts with some nice headroom and loud enough to get over a loud drummer.
Any help or suggestions would be great!
Cheers
Steve

Yeah I've thought of an EQ pedal, might try that out. I've also thought of a transparent type low gain drive and putting it in front of the amp as an always on pedal and just dialing out some treble.
I'll check out the Puretone but not sure how easy that are to find.
also attenuates well, and a lifetime warranty if you get a new one.
50w and easily loud enough for most things.
Its got a lovely built in proper reverb too.
Apologies if you have, but it's very often overlooked.
Failing that, some darker-sounding speakers might be worth thinking about...

Yes, it is damn loud. I deal with that (and the hair trigger volume control) by putting an attenuator (Sequis Motherload Elemental) between the amp and the cab. I only shave off a bit of volume at the attenuator, but it's enough to make the amp a lot easier to control.

Yup - the 1987x was what I immediately thought of if you’re looking for new Marshall pedal platform amp – here is a demo of it clean:

I would also not write off the 2203 on the low input there are some great cleans in there too
