I've decided to get ride of my Marshall TSL-100 Head and Cab because i'm fed up lugging the Cab about & I only use 1 channel on the head.

I'm look at either a Fender Blues Deluxe or a Hot Rod Deville. Obviously I'll try before I buy but has anybody got a view on these amps or is there something else of similar size I should consider. 1 or 2 speaker is enough, I don't want another monster. Same kind of price as these 2, less than £700, and like I said I only use 1 channel.

Any help or recommendations would be most welcome!

get a 2x12 rather than a single speaker. the difference is notable.

Blackstar combos sound really good. Not sure if they are less than 700. Other than that, the new Egnater range is awesome. Look at GuitarGuitar.com. They have the Egnater Combo's from 700ish.

peavy classic, orange rocker, ???? what styles do you play

I think the Fenders are a bit pricey when you compare them to the Peavey Classics. Somebody was selling a great Carvin amp on here a while back.

Hot Rod Deluxe's can be got pretty cheap

Engl Screamer is a superb wee amp

If you had £800, you could buy my Mesa/Boogie F50

Peavey Classic 50 is also good

I play with alot of delay, kind of like U2 or some Coldplay sounds. (We don't sound like them though! I'm just talking guitar sounds) I use the drive/distortion from my GT8, but normally push a little gain from the amp in.

This should give you an idea of the sound.

Not really thought about peavy amp's, I've had no experence with them.

I could go above £700 for the right amp.

Peavey Classic 50, Orange Rocker 30, Fender Twin Reverb.

peavey classic 50 is a terrific amp for your money

Cheers everybody. Looks I have a few new contenders, with the Peaver Classic 50 being the front runner. I'll do some more research on everything that has been mentioned.
