Marshall DSL series (the new series)

[WittyMonikerHere]

So I got to try the 15 watt head and the 40 watt combo in the stores and think they sound awesome. Obviously, the 40c is a bit better because of the resonance knob and reverb, but I don't have any need for a combo right now. 

In a perfect world, I'd love it if they could fit that 40 watt combo in a Carvin V3 or TubeMeister head config, but alas.. 

Which made me wonder, do you think its ever worth buying a combo amp and just gutting it so that it becomes a small head? Anyone every try this? Worth it? Or do you think its just a matter of time until Marshall builds a head in between 15 and 100 watts(!).

If you're really set on that amp, you really want to turn it into a head, and you don't mind the costs and trouble doing it...Go for it.

Mpo though: There's probably more than enough other amps out there that do the same thing -if not better- and come as a head. It'd also probably be cheaper, and you won't have to f*ck with your amp's resale value.

Every combo I've ever had has had outs for a cab extension, and I've used them on every one.

I don't think it's a terrible idea to buy the combo and run a cord to a big cab. It's not *that* much more work to haul around than just using a head, and you get the perk of having something really easy to record with, especially if it's just a 1 speaker combo.

Every head I've owned has been at least as big and difficult as a combo amp.
