Curveball: try a fender supersonic. The gain channel has a lot on tap, and the clean channel is what you'd expect. Probably less $$ than the EVH 5153 too, on the used market. Especially if you find a 60W marked as the 22 ![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)

I could probably go to Atlanta and find some cheaper marshals and oranges. But I think those would be too far in the sludge category.
Quite a dilemma eh? Haha
Where? I've been calling all kinds of places in Atlanta, including guitar center. And if the shops carry tube amps at all, it's vintage combos and lunchbox amps only.
How do Atlanta people try gear?
Right now it's down to the JSX (if I can find one cheap),
The XXX
And some Triamp. Can't decide if mark 1 or mark 2, not sure what it all entails.
And I tried a few bad cats and they were all very vintage/80s hard rock voiced. What models have a modern tone?
