Not sure how many have read some of the threads I've been posting recently. Basically I've been *****ing about my amp, Marshall JTM 60. I've come to the decision that I'm going to get a new one, as soon as I can afford one anyway. I'm not sure how relevent me giving you my price range will be as I'm a Brit, and we seem to pay a lot more for most things over the pond, but it's hopefully going to be about £1000 ($1900) once I've sold my current amp.

I'm going through a big pedal phase so I'm not sure if I really need 2 channels. Would greatly appreciate suggestions on this as I'm only just beginning to learn the amp rules.

I want a lot of headroom, absolutely loads! One thing that really bugs me about my current amp is that no matter what I do with the volume settings I have to back off a bit to stop the signal breaking up. I want to play crystal clean without this being a problem.

Not sure about valve configuration as I don't really understand the difference between them. Is it fair to say that EL34s are more typical of a British 'Marshall sound? And EL84s? What about them? I know there are some more but I'm not even sure what they are. 6L6s?

For speaker configuration I think I'd like to go 2x12. Have been playing 3x10 for about 2 years and always wished I had more 'umph' that I hope I'll be able to get from 12s.

That's about all I think. I know a lot of people here are big Rivera fans so I looked into them. Got quite excited about the Fandanga(?) can't remember what's called, sorry. Also the Knucklehead looked cool, but 100w? I can't imagine playing anywhere and needing that much volume.

Are Cornford amps big in America? I'm thinking about one of those as well, namely the Hurricane. Oh yeah, and a Fender Pro Reverb.

Thank you for reading my thread,

How about looking into Orange? Brow of the forum also has a JTM60 I believe and loves his Orange amps.

3x10 ??? What has 3 ten inch speakers?

Yeah, I know. Weird. Cool though. Always gets other guitarists talking to me at gigs. Which is nice.

I always tohught of Orange as being very similiar to Marshall just with a little bit more gain. Is this true?

I believe vibrokings have 3 10quot; speakers
