ok, VHT SIg X is repaired, it was just one resistor 
3 channels, clean is very nice, gain can go till really high gain. 40w/100w switch, lots of switches on every channel, totally independent channels. nice footswitch, you can switch btw channels, add extra gain on each channel and switch in/off effect loop. maybe this is what you've looking for.
villager: I can make some samples if you want, just say what kind of guitar do you want I use for record.

I like the sounds of these two amps but I don't like the fact that they have a lot of knobs and switches, the einstein even more. Too many options when all you need is a good sounding amp and maybe a three knobs eq. I like to have a master control and a presence knob too.villager wrote: I am now narrowed down to a diezel einstein or a cornford MK50 mk2... I like the look of both those amps....
I know that you have already narrowed but if I was in your position

If you don't like them, you'll always keep the value in a future sale but if I couldn't get good cleans and good drive with that, I'd simply change my guitar for an accordion and I'd get started with some polka.

I think Showman is winner in clean headroom. It is widely used by surf bands that need tons of clean headroom, both, the Showman and the dual Showman.JohnA wrote:A JTM-45 is a very clean amp with tons of headroom, gets in to AC-DC territory at full volume which is very loud indeed, not the high-gain machine Villager is looking for, in fact it's very similar to the showman in sound and design.
If JTM45 is not enough high gain... mmmmh what about my favourite Marshall, a JCM800?
A Showman head over a a JCM800 head and a switch like this one to swap between them;

...you can't go heavier than that!
