Help with getting a head or large combo

Looking at buying a head and cabinet or a large combo amp. Was going to get a preamp and power amp but can't find a preamp I like a price I can afford or justify. Want it to be ideally 100 watts. I like the Marshall MG100, the old ones without effects and they are cheap too on ebay. really liked combo I used to use years ago. also seen a few fender pro 185 combos on ebay and they seem alright and are fairly cheap too. Any suggestions? don't care too much about tubes, I get on well with the older solid states better. so please help with suggestions that are ideally cheap and easy to find on the used market. budget is £100 but can spend more if need be

quilter microblock 45, attach it to pedalbaord, buy a nice 2x12 cab... problem solved, total cost will be well under 500 USD unless you spring for a handmade cab with unobtainium vintage speakers in it.. I think you could get all in for 300 bucks if you go ooking for secondhand, off-brand cabs in the abck of stores or on craigslist. Not exactly as cheap as you're suggesting, but the shit will sound good.

GEAR:
  • Roland Juno-6
  • Gibson SG Standard
  • Vox AC30 Guitar Combo Amp

Looks good. Not sure on it though, like being able to adjust my mids, bass and treble. Have to see if my local guitar store has one i can try. Found a few MG100hdfx heads for £70 at a 50-100 mile drive. Cabs I'm not too fussy about as long as they are cheap and sound good. Ill take a look on eBay and see how much they are in the uk used. Never heard of it but do like the idea of a pedal sized amp. Especially with my tiny car

the sound quality difference between the quilter gear and soemthing like a marshall valvestate or MG is enormous.... you won't miss the extra controls. iw as shocked by how much i liked the quilter when i bought one. Just shocked. I bought it just to find out and thught I might return it, but tis a great sounding amp with an itnerface so simple you can't fuck it up.

Okay, ill have to give one a go then. they are £149 new here, £90 on ebay so similar price to the marshall, if i like it i'll be buying it. sounds good from the videos i've watched. Seems like a better EHX 44 magnum. I'll probably just use a marshall cab, so cheap used and easy to find. theres a 1960a cab in southampton going fotr £150 lol

I've enver paid much for a 1960 cab, they seem to go for real money anymore but they sued to trade for very little money hen iw as into 4x12s... now 1960TVs, 1980s and Mesa talls/ those I got gouged on, but I really always liked having some oversized cabs in my rig when I was playing the bigger spaces.
