I came to the decision early on to stick stubbornly with BF Fender amps.
That and the Harlequin I had before it, I simply rate as pieces of junk.
One lives and learns.
Replacement - faulty.
Gave up.

Sounded great but the one I bought blew up a couple of weeks after getting it. Went back to Cornford, came back working, then blew up again within the week.
I had two Marshall VS30R's go back on the same day.
First one plugged in and kept changing channels all of it's own accord. Second one opened the box and the cab was really damaged.
Shop took pitty on me and sold me a S/H VS100R for the same price which was brilliant and I stupidly traded it in for a JCM2000 TSL100H which went back more than once under warranty.

However, that's not why I returned it; I would quite happily have paid to have it repaired. The reason it went back is that I took the panel off to make sure the valves were seated properly after transit, and half of the internal struts fell out. Then I noticed that both transformers were loose, there were two pieces of broken plastic hanging around inside and a lot of rattling coming from inside the chassis.
Not what you want from an expensive amp.

- Randall RG50TC. Dull, lifeless. Yuk. Returned.
- Peavey Valveking 100w head. Was ok but just a very specific sound I didn't use enough.
- Behringer V-Ampire 120 head. Too complicated.
- Roland Cube 80x. Used to have a cube 60 which I gave to a family member...this just didn't sound as good.
- H&K Edition Tube 25th Anniversary. Used to have a Tube 20th which sounded much better than this and I stupidly sold it.
- Mesa F30. Yuk. Returned.
- Egnater Rebel 20. Broke.
- Egnater Rebel 30 - not as good as the 20.
- Trademark 60 - really awful amp...don't get why people like these.
- H&K Trilogy - just a bit harsh.
- Marshall DSL-50 (again) - I had a DSL50 which was my main amp for ages and it broke. This just sounded wrong. Dunno.
- Yamaha THR-5 - don't get why people like these. Better off with a £20 mini-Marshall
...and those are just the ones I sold quickly
To be fair to me, I've had the same main amp for a few years now (Orange TH30).
