Marshall Tsl
Good Tube Amp for Rock?

hi. I’m looking to spend no more than 1300 about. Can someone help me with tube amps. im looking at these:
Marshall TSL 100
Marshall DSL 100
Marshall DSL 100 MLB
Egnater Tourmaster 4100
Vintage Modern 2266 ( but there’s only one channel)
Vox Custom Classic AC30CC2.
Can any1 compare or go through some pros and cons? I’m looking for a heavy rock sound but i also want blues, good cleans, decent crunch, and lead channel.
I’m looking to not use pedals for distortion because I like to play with the amp, but maybe an overdrive would be used. I dont play metal unless its a rare occasion. Any suggestions? I want to be able to gig with it and play at home.
Oh I was also reading about a Mesa Boogie something rect (don’t remember which) but every seems to play metal with it. oh and for the items on the list over 1300, I can get them for a lower price either used or new from a friend for cheaper.
please help

Depends on the type of rock you wanna play, but for starters, ditch the mesa-boogie rectifier coz it’s strictly for metal… so, go for for the marshalls, they’re best for rock better than any other manufacturers, infact marshall got its fame from that AC/DC and guns n roses old-school and hard rock sound… so, pick any good marshall tube amp that you can afford… and you dont need to use a distortion pedal with that… you could use an overdrive (if you want) to add a “boost” that’ll allow better pinch harmonics and palm muting and tapping…etc (and these techniques are mostly for metal anyways)

go for the marshall and you wont need to buy pedals…. goodluck bro
