Can't Decide Between These Two Amps

MadMardegan · 03-04-2010, 09:59 AM

I'm in the market for a high-ish end amp for recreational playing and am kinda stuck between a Marshall JCM2000 DSL401 or a Marshall Modern Vintage 2266C.

The tone on the MV 2266 is great but the thing that throws me off is that it only has 1 channel. I suppose a pedal board will sort this out though.

I have a Gibson Les Paul Standard. Everything is standard on it atm but am hoping to upgrade the pick ups to SD Alnico Pro II Humbuckers shortly.

I play a lot of different kind of music from GNR to Led Zep to Pink Floyd to Pantera and BLS. And a lot of other things.

I'm looking for an amp that can handle all these genres with ease.

My pedal board is going to be something like;

(in no particular order atm)
Wah
Phaser
Tuner
ISP Decimator
Overdrive
Chorus
Maybe volume pedal for swells.
Possibly a Digitech Whammy
10 band EQ

Anyone got any input?
