Hmmm.Marshall solid state eh?well I havent had any direct experience with an AVT20, but years ago I owned one of their tube preamp/solid state power stage amps - & it sucked big time.like, it seemed like there was a pedal in between my guitar & the amp that was sucking the life out of it, truly a case of sounded ok in the showroom sounded crap @ home - I amost could'nt GIVE the damn thing away.More recently I was chasing a solid state amp & tried out an AVT100 & it had a similar thing going for it, imho.
I settled on a hughes & kettner club reverb - a real gem of an amp if you ask me, not too pricey, great clean & lead channels.They arent listed on the website anymore, but If you could pick one of these up, Id reccomend that.
