Thanks for the input Josh. I know what you mean about tube changes with the valve jr. I had the bitmo mod on mine and boy it sure sounded better with Tung Sol pre's and JJ EL84's. That's why I was wanting to try the JJ's in the NT.
I got the NT for a different take on my blues playing. Its voicing is definitely different from the Marshall's. Its so easy to pack around. I took it over to my buds place and we jammed and it really sat in the mix well. He wanted me to leave it but I have a little more tinkering to do with it before I do.
The main reason I passed on the Haze is I already have that Marshall vibe go'n on. I didn't need a lower watt version of it. Man did Doug Aldrich make that amp sound good in his vid! Love his playing. Besides I really dig my DSL50. So far it has given me everything I need for my playing. Its a keeper.
PS- I'll prolly have a Haze next year...
