"Yeah I see the benefit of having a combo over a stack for home use. And I agree, a stack is totally over the top for what I&#039;m doing. But I can&#039;t be the only one who&#039;s been drooling over a stack ever since I first started playing the guitar :-) Now that I can finally afford one I have to say I&#039;m tempted. I guess I&#039;m looking for validation from you guys that I&#039;m not missing anything (tone-wise) by staying with combo amps. Regarding the amp size - I also realize that 100 watts (or even 60 watts) is a lot for just home use. But that 60-watt model is the smallest size in that line that offers 3 channels. I have 3 channels currently in my ValveState and I find that I use all 3 a lot. I&#039;d rather not go down to just two channels if I can help it. If I went with the 100-watt head I&#039;d probably look into getting an attenuator at some point. I actually did look at the Peavey Classic 30, but I think I prefer the tone of the Blackstar (plus the 3 channels is a benefit for me). Oh yeah, I&#039;m all about the Mark V. But the best used price I&#039;ve seen is $1800, which is a little more than I want to spend right now. Although it&#039;s probably worth it. I&#039;d have to sell another guitar in order to buy that, but it&#039;s not completely out of the question. If I threw the Mark V Combo into the mix (with the understanding that I&#039;d have to sell a guitar that I wasn&#039;t planning on selling) what would you guys recommend? Why must it be a Mark V? You can get an earlier version cheaper. And any Mark will have more htan enough versetility. You wont need anohter amp. If you want two amps and you decide to get the Fender dont worry about versetlity on the second amp. You wont be needing cleans on any other amp with a Fender sitting around. The fender should be able to be boosted and provide good rock tones too. Make sure the second amp has great distortion that the Fender cant hit."
