I threw the SHE DEVIL in there because it's awesome as fuck and i'm thinking about getting a schecter with actives anyway. this will probably be used for punkasfuck shows and studio only so i don't have to worry about being caught in the wrong place with it.

I'd get the guitar or the marshall

 

[JonWormwood]

the mig + boost

 

[Wolfeman]

Mig 50 all the way.

 

[Robert W]

I think the Mig might be your best bet. I heard one played awhile ago and was sort of surprised by how good it sounded.

I'd get the guitar or the marshall

i'd go with the guitar

the vl-1002 is better at the marshall thing than most marshalls are

 

[Sloan]

I just saw the MIG and Jet City pop up today and figured i would poll you guys. Not that I have $300 yet. damn.

 

[greyskull]

sovtek

Definitely not the Marshall, as the Ampeg does the same thing but a 1000 times as good. *headbutting the wall for selling mine*
The Jet City sounds good, but not THAT good.
As for the guitar i've never been a real fan of Schecters, not that there is something wrong with them, but to me they look and sound pretty boring/sterile.

Looking at what amps you already have, you dont have anything to cover the range that the Sovtek does, so my vote goes for the Sovtek.

 

[Joshua Wickman]

Jet City!

 

[Lasse Lammert]

DSL or Schecter

 

[drew_drummer]

Sovtek.

 

[Sloan]

any particular reason for the Sovtek here? I'm not familiar with the Sovtek 'sound' thinking it was gonna be pretty much 'marshally'. The more ground covered with ampz the better!

I wouldn´t go with the dsl unless you plan to mod it or something... I really don´t like the sound of those

Think kind of a modern twist of a vintage marshall.
Its more of the old super lead series, but with the possibility of more gain.
Perfect for everything from blues to rock.

 

[ahjteam]

I'd go with the Marshall

 

[JonWormwood]

let me buy your vl off you

 

[Ashgarth]

Sovtek

 

[Fragle]

schecter or marshall.
