I need to buy myself a dos amp so that I can crush peoples hearing.
I'm thinking of a good warm tone and then I'll just put some crazy shit effects on it. What I have my eye on here is a used Marshall DSL100 JCM2000 head. I think it might suit me but is 1400 bucks a fair price?
Since I don't know shit about amps I seriously need some guaidence.
I'm gonna buy a head and 2 boxes..

Youre on the right track with your choices. Stay away from Line6 ('cept the POD stuff). Ive owned 2 Line6 amps and both were shit. The power side of them kicks ass, but the effects are all junk. The master volume is way touchy even though theyre loud as fuk.
I never really got a GOOD tone out of either 1.
A good amp, say a 212 with 100+ watts would do fine for ya. Average prce is around 350-450 bux and sometimes less. My dual chorus Peavey is a seriously badass amp for 150 bux used. With a newborn in the house, its too much but I love it.

Damn those are some sick heads guys.. And of course to own them I'd have to be filthy rich, in the near future (when I go on solo career) I'll be filthy rich but until then this is just too much.. Do they come with a cabinet? The pitbull said it came with it and if it does the price ain't too much out of range.. I got around 3000 bucks after I pay the guitar to spend on an amp and then I'm broke

Peavey 5150!!! You will possibly get 2 speakers for the money as well. That is a beast amp!

BTW whats the deal with 5150? I can no more find it on music websites, and its no longer in the dealers catalogues. Was it completely replaced by 6505?

6505 is the 5150, just renamed after they lost EVH's endorsement.
As for an amp - ENGL. ENGL. ENGL. all you need to know. specifically the ENGL Invader 100 \m/ (Powerball is untouchable for rhythms, Invader has better leads IMO).
Get an Orange PPC412 or Avatar 4x12 loaded with V30s to go with it.
Don't bother with two cabs or anything - ENGLs will blow your head off at 100 yards. Absolutely and utterly crushing amps.

Yeah but ive heard that 6505 has worse cleans, although brutal part didn't change. Engl Invader, heard many good stuff about it. Sadly, there is no ENGL dealer here i think... Sindri, any feedback on this one? At least I´ve never seen them on this rock, so no chance to try one out

Yeah ! Although the fact that stores are "dealers" in Iceland sucks. You cant e.g. buy a shure product on e.g. music123.com cuz its prohibited for em to send stuff to Iceland, because some jerk has official distribution rights here in Iceland! And those jerks slap +50% on the goddamn price! I am so really looking forward to moving to Sweden.

Yeah the prices here are outrageous.. But if the company doesn't send to Iceland simply use shupUSA www.shopusa.isBut anyways I've reached a decision.. EMP has talked me into buying Peavy JSX 212 Combo (Joe Satriani signature).. Now where the hell is it best to buy of the internet?

eGay? You could also check tónastöðin, they sell peaveys. I digg 5150/6505 more but it's personal preference ;D 5150 is Joe's sig too and its all 120 watts tube power
