I mostly play and enjoy the sound of “classic” metal. 1980s Judas Priest. Metallica. Maiden. Etc.
What’s a good amp/fx setup to reproduce this sound at modest volumes?
I have a friend with a Marshall stack, which sounds amazing but I have neither the budget or the space for something like this. I currently have a Fender amp with a Boss GT-1 effects pedal, which is quite good but no matter what I do I never quite get this to reproduce the tone I’m looking for.
Will a small Marshall combo amp like a MG30GFX work for me? Does it make sense to go for low-wattage tube amps over solid state? Thoughts?
The DSL40 sounds very appealing indeed, and not too pricey. I’ll go around and look for it at the local guitar store. I’ve also frequently seen those Katanas mentioned above which I’ll have to try. Thanks.
