Ok I'm venturing into valve amp head territory after mainly recording direct with software modellers. I've decided to stick with Marshall as that's what most of my favourite artists used back in the day. Which amps compliment each other the best IYO, in terms of clean and polite (relative to the marshall sound) vs dark and aggressive? I'm strongly considering the JTM45 head for my clean tone.
Alternatively, are there any Marshalls that are the best of both words?
Edit: Type of music I'm into- just about everything I guess, which is why I want to cover those tonal extremes. To be more specific, I like the deep, ballsy sounds of Sabbath, blues inspired rock (cream, zz top etc) psychedelic (Hendrix), stoner rock especially, but also more nuanced stuff like jazz fusion, ambient shoegaze etc. I have a bit of a bipolar approach to creating music. Though blues seems to be at the center of everything I do.
