What's your budget? And where do you live?

I live in Sweden (Nybro a little town) and I can afford up to 6000 swedish crowns wich would be around 1000-1500 German Marks. I´m not good at this but I hope you´ll figure it out.

I'd check out the Peavey 5150 and Laney amps.

Yup, the 5150 is Eddie's signature amp.

If you'd go with Marshall, I'd check out the JCM2000 DSL.

Well i'm not good on this currency thing so there's the 100dfx or if you want something a little bit more advanced then an avt or a tsl would be a good 1 to go with.
Marshall amps are great but MESA's are probably ther best sounding

Marshall JCM 2000 are great and very famous too, but I've heard that AVT are better & seems to be more versatile too... the bigger AVT's have 4 footswitchable channels, I don't know if there's any other amp that has such versatility.

I'm not particularly fond of Crate amps, but I played on a Crate Blue Voodoo head and cab the other day, and it was damn good. They're models is like BV and four numbers, if I remember correctly. The rig I played on was $2000, which is about 4000 Deutsche Marken (ich bin gegangen nach Deutschland letze Jahr... ich habe viel Spaß gehabt, und ich habe dahin eine Guitarre gekauft), which I guess is about 20000 crowns. This may be out of your budget currently, but if you're going to seriously invest in an amp, don't buy cheap - wait a while and save up.
