Damn. Sounds like I need to start buying Sound Cities and reworking the guts. What do you think? BALLSERCRAFT has a nice ring to it...

We all respect and love Hiwatts, but you gotta know that it doesnt mean that it will suit for your ideas. I tried Hiwatt dr103, Matamp GT100, Orange OR120, so Hiwatt differs very much, first of all - tone stack interaction. It was much easier to make friends dirt pedals and matamp / orange , than DR. DR got the biggest clean headroom, but do you really need as much? Its much funnier to mix amp's distortion with pedal, than just to make all the dirt only by the pedals. So my word goes for matamp / old orange or stuff like ad30/140 or50. Even noisy rusty shite like SC120 is a good choice. But the big Hiwatts - its a big investment only for those who knows what hes doing.
Marshall is just boring

for clean i think Matamp is awesom...I have the GT1, with the Master volume engaged I can get a lot more clean (i mean really clean) volume.
Also, someone else mentioned Sunn...i think old Solid State stuff is pretty good. I recently had a Peavey Studio 130w amp. And I took it into the studio, hooked it up to a 4x12 cab, and it was really quite good. My mate has a Sunn and to be honest the Peavey would easily hold it own again the Sunn...and the Peavey cost me less than $100.
