Marshall 70th DSL40CR BLK

This is a nice entry level and not terribly expensive tube amp with a host of features and options for dialing in your sound and connecting to the rest of your setup. Pair this with a some external pedals or a multi effects unit using the four cable method and you've got yourself a very flexible and formidable rig. The amp takes and responds to pedals really nicely.

The amp is really loud (which is to be expected) and although it has a built-in attenuation to 20W you'll likely want an external adjustable attenuator or a load box to play this at its best in a room setting without disturbing everyone in your neighborhood.

The amp is surprisingly well built for modern standards. It looks great and inspires me to turn it on and play.

There are a couple of downsides.

The first downside is the emulated output which despite the marketing claims sounds dreadful and is almost unusable. Thankfully there's a few options you can go with if you want to play with headphones or record the amp but all of those include buying additional equipment, which is something I specifically wanted to avoid and was hoping the provided emulation would do decently.

The second downside is the reverb effect which is completely underwhelming. You can basically always have it set at max and barely notice it in the sound.

The third downside is they don't provide you with a 4-channel footswitch to switch between all the channels and make you do a separate purchase to get one. This is just Marshall being extremely cheap which I don't appreciate.
