Thanks. The Germino seems exaclty what I need. Meanwhile, I tried out a Marshall 401 DSL today and I have a controversial impression. It really kills everyone on its 40 tube watts Pluses: - creat attack - natural overamplification; it overdrives smoothly keeping the natural guitar tone and by degree turns into a veritable roar. That's what tube amplification must be like, IMO. No hiss at hights - very loud, I'd expected the worse - it can play at a quiet level as well Minuses: - still it shouts a bit, I hear some frequencies that aren't ok for my ear. - bassy bottoms are almost absent. It can't go trough and farts a bit, too sad. - the hi-gain channel was not impressive at all; I'd leave it out to reduce the price - it still sounds too hard for me, if not to say stiff And they gave me a guitar with P-90s in, I noticed that only later. Well, the main impression is its mid-gain and it sounds very bright when soloing. And I could play some fank, jazz rythm, rock. It's extremely hard for me. I can't say if it's suitable for modern metallists, maybe not, I'm not surre. So, I would grow interested in it, if it had a bit more basses. And I wanted to compare it with a TSL601, but the store was already closing. So perhaps next time. P.S. Above all, it sounds as a real Marshall, all the same.
