Guitar amp situation?
I'm looking to purchase a 1/2 stack amp rig for my guitar, I know the value of tubed amps like how much input of sound and volume they give out, but all of the tubed heads I've seen are very expensive. My budget is about $650-700 and i was going to grab the Marshall MG100HDFX half stack setup just because it seemed to fit the price, but it only puts out about 100 watts, and from what i hear, there are better options. So I'm seeing if someone could guide me in the right direction and give me some suggestions.

I'm willing to bet that 100 watts is more than adequate for whatever you will be doing. I have 4 half stacks as well as several combo amps. I play gigs and never even come close to cranking my 100 watt amps. The Marshall MG100HDFX is okay for a solid state half stack. Just go a a local music shop and compare the Marshall to the comparable Crate and maybe Peavey or Randall whic should be in that price and pick what you like the sound of.........output is an non-issue unless you are going to play a stadium without a PA.

I would strongly recommend against a Marshall solid state. I would really consider investing your money in a tube amp...even if it's a smaller combo amp. I guess my question would be, does it have to be an amp head? Are combos out of the picture? Don't rule out a good sounding amp just because it's a combo...I've got a couple combo amps that will smoke a solid state half stack. But you are right, tube heads are really expensive. Here's some tube options though. The Fender Hot Rod Deville is a great option...amazing tone, good reverb and nice drive...and the 4x10's are soooo loud. I really like the Fender tube amps...the blues jr., the Deluxe, the Deville's...etc. The valve kings are cool though too. I'm sure you could find a decent used Vox AC30 or Fender Twin reissue for around $800...either of these amps would be a great investment. But ultimately, you should buy an amp that allows you to get the most out of your guitar...the way that you want it to sound. Whether that's solid state or tube, who knows...find an amp that speaks to you. Amp shopping is probably the funnest thing an electric guitar player can do...so have fun. Good Luck.
