So I'm thinking about trading in some gear for a Marshall JCM2000 TSL head with a 4x12 cab. Anyone here who actually likes the Marshall tone have direct experience with this head?
I'm wondering about the wattage - 50 or 100? I'm thinking 50 seeing as I can benefit from the break up at lower volumes and I just don't need 100 wwatts of tube - are there any features you lose between the 50 and the 100 head (can't seem to nail those specific details on the marshall site).
Also, it says this head has an improved emulated speaker output for DI, how good is it? I have a 100DFX and the emulated out is nothing special - good for late night scratch tracks but that's it.
I play heavy prog instrumental stuff with lots of lead so I think this head pretty much covers all of the tone bases for me - clean, crunch and lead. Is the JCM2000 TSL the way to go or are there any superior alternatives?
