I'm pretty sure the majority will say yes and that it might be the last piece of gear I buy/need.
I currently own a 1973 50watt Marshall, a 5watt Blackstar and a recently purchased Marshall DSL 40C - modified with Creamback and swapped the c-19. The idea was to buy the DSL for flexibility; it's a two channel amp. Then sell the '73 because it collects dust. It's the best sounding overdriven amp I've ever played through or heard. It doesn't clean up all that well and it's too loud. It needs a new home.
I'm hoping that by buying an AX8 I can run it through the FX return of the DSL40 and set up some presets for bedroom level and gig level. Then I can sell the Blackstar too. Am I on the right track or will it not sound up to its potential through the 1x12 DSL ? I really don't want to buy a power amp and lug my 4x12 around, or buy a powered wedge to use live. The band I play with is just for fun and the PA's usually only mic up the vocals. I want huge sound out of a small rig....don't we all?
Talk me into or out of it....... and sorry for the millionth first time post asking the same question.
