Do you reckon 20 watts is enough to gig with(slaved into a 4x12).
I gave up using an old Selmer 50 watt because it wasn't loud enough with everything full. Sounded great though.

I fancy getting a reverb pedal myself..as Moose pointed out to me the other night when we were talking about overdrive..the sound off a pedal is gonna be way better than that of an amps overdrive because the pedal is totally all about doing that one thing..ergo..a reverb pedal must be better that on board reverb..I think that makes sense
Well I'd disagree there with ya, with "onboard" reverb more often than not you get a actual spring reverb tank in the amp cabinet somewhere which will sound a million times better than a digital reverb pedal. I have heard that the Holy Grail is one of the best pedals at replicating the spring sound though. I think it's between that and the Line6 Verbzilla which also has way more options.
I'd say give me 30 watter which also has a spring reverb tank a shot before putting the order in on a new amp. Also I'd be very tempted to just get a head rather than a combo. Although I'm sure you have your reasons for wanting a combo.

Wattage depends on a lot of factors, my main problem is how loud our drummer is and pedending if it's going to be mic'd. In a good venue with a PA I get shit for having my 50W Marshall at 1, in a crappy venue with no mics it isn't loud enough at 6 and anything after 6 just has too much overdrive. These days I've been using 2 2x12's which sound engineers seem freakout at, "Do you hear that, it's not even in the PA!!!" siad the engineer from the workmans, it was at 1.
Also I know that in good venues it's important to not to be too loud as you'll over load the mics going to the PA but were is the balance!?
.. like Eddie Cocrhan putting a P90 at the neck pickup--
This g-dec thing look interesting
Jazes he's great!(I keep meaning to learn that style..might get a set of picks and do that this week)
