I asked the store to order it through the shop so until it comes, any advice? My playing style is Blues, Rock. I play stuff like SRV, Clapton, Hendrix, Satriani, AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Robert johnson (old fashioned, solid, southern blues music). I'm not asking for the perfect amp, but which would be suited more for my style?

P.S. For higher gain stuff I have a Keeley Ds-1.


I'd say the Fender. Which is odd. I usually stick with Marshall. I think the TSL is more suited to eighties hard rock. There are Marshalls that will do what your looking for if you want to shop around. Between the two though I believe the fender will work better.
