I found that I like the combination of the different voicings but I may tweak them both differently than you. I try to find a tonal middle ground between the two amps. I like having different effects on each one and the stereo chorus on both (whenever I use it which is rare).

Technically, My Marshall is 45 watts and the Dr. Z is 18 watts so it's a little stretch but not too bad though headroom could be an issue.

The way I figure. They are both enough to fill a club or a studio and if I am on a real big stage they are getting microphones put in front of them anyway.
Yeah I'm just going to have to try it to see. It sounds like you know how to get the best out of both of yours.

One thing for sure is the NT is alot smaller sounding than the DSL at the same volume level but it really cuts. Just sounds small. The Marshall sounds so much bigger and open I'm afraid it would make the NT come off like a moped to a Harley.

It did sound good in a mix with my buddies amp so it may be fine. It would definitely need to be miced though. I love play'n the blues on it.

Those Dr. Z's sound nice man. I bet it is a good mix.

He pretty much lost me with the tongue thing right off the bat though to be honest.
