Trayner custom valve 80 is the a great amp. Better then marshall by a bit, better then vox, better then line 6 and a lot better then fender....(of course comparisons are in the price range). Trayner is the only amp i know that has all tube transitors and no solid state for the price of $850 canadian or $500 american. At my local store they cant stock em fast enough...give it a try.

has 80 tube watts which is much better then 80 solid state watts and the sound is much better.

p.s. made by yorkville

p.p.s the next is marshall for me...i like the rock sound myself
line six is the most versitile, i like the country channel, sounds good and vox is a good blues amp
