Rob Pack, Tim Keeley, Andrew Kember (Salix) - outside of getting something nice from the big names those three are right up there with the very very best, especially if you've got £500 to spend.

What about H4L? How do they compare with the likes of Salix & Keeley?

Ok so things have moved on a bit. Managed to scoop up a pro used Salix AMP and a brand new Salix AMP both at 2.8lb followed up a keeley g1 in their sale.  Think I best treat the wife before I get them home. Thanks for the reply's guys. I did figure the answers to my question would be the brands mentioned.
