New amp?
Sooo I'm trying to save up to get a new amplification device.The kinda of sound I'm going after is the first two Pixies albums,John Frusciante,and SP's Siamese Dream, and on the heavier side Black Sabbathy higher gain sound.I also understand that for Devi's pedals to do their best they need a lot of head room.I would like the amp to be either a 1 Channel head, doesn't matter if its got an effects loop, or a 1 Channel combo.Once again I don't really need an effects loop.Cleans are really important as I can use a pedal to get my dirt, but being able to crank it up and get a nice crunch is cool too.Must be under 100 watts,as I really dont need anything that loud because my hearing is pretty shit already.Soo
to anyone who can help me out.

18 watt Marshal.
A head will sound Killer through a 2x12 or 4x12 cab.
A 2x12 combo is right along the lines of what you're looking for.

Thats their official site,they're not in production anymore,but some guy in Russia makes something similar to it.Their suppose to be along the lines of a hot rodded marshall.Gibson used to own them,but dropped they got dropped because they weren't very popular.I've seen them go really cheap on ebay.
EDIT:Ooops apparently they were made in the US.

Re: New amp?
Would a Mig be a good candidate as a 2nd amp to an AC30 (CC2X)??
that is, both amps to be played simultaneously.
just hoping for a good alternative to another AC30 with "blues"
