warm nice crush to brutal distortion with fender like clean in decent price like everyone wanted, Marshall did a good job, oh by the way its well below your budget
Haha, I'm not sure if you can get a nice chugg out of that cute portable amp dus to its small drivers but the Microstack MSII I'm refering to is this one:
It is a 2x10 configuration, Chugs and harmonics comes out quite easily with its inbuilt drive but the best results were with my modded DS-1 MT-2 combo. Volume wise, I've heard its good for a small auditorium but not loud enough for a large concert hall but that should be a deterent for getting this amp cause for live applications, miking could be done for sound reinforcements.
