There is a guy in Edinburgh currently selling a matchless avalon 30 and has dropped the starting price to 650. That's just a stupid price for a 2k amp. I want it so bad. You should do as everyone says and try shit out. Tubemeister 36, victory v30, egnater rebel 30, orange th30, vox ac30, blackstar ht40. Remember an amp like the blackstar and egnater like I have include a feature to mix tubes so I can have a fender clean set up with tubes on 6l6 then when using overdrive channel switch to el84 tubes. Best of both worlds and the blackstar is the same with the isf knob.
