Best amp for hot tossed marshal tones low volume?

Ok just narrowing down from my last post on what new amp to get

yes the GDEC is still a high priority

I'm just throwing out the marshal tone thing to maybe focus more since alot of people commented on how the GDEC doesn't do Marshall too hot

Fargen Mini Plex or even a Mighty Plex MKII with power scaling. Killer Marshall tones at any volume.

Tech 21 Trademark 30

I think Tech 21's Trademark 30 does awesome "hot tossed Marshall tones" at low volume. Yes, I own one... and I've seen others post positive feedback on them too. Believe me, I owned at least half a dozen ss amps when I started out late last year. They're all gone now, except the Tech 21 will stay... no doubt I love my tube amps, but neither comes close to doing hot Marshall at low volume like the TM30 can do it.

I like the TM30 because I don't like using headphones... I have wicked bad tinnitus and any use of headphones exacerbates it. The TM30 has real spring reverb, only weighs 14lbs, has an effects loop and an XLR jack for direct out to a board.

Here's Tech 21's TM30 page:

Worth a look, at least.

Fargen Mini Plex w/ power scaling. Sounds ok, not super easy to dial in nice tones IMO.
Reinhardt a huge step up into 'unique' Marshall tones, very responsive.
SAMAMP vac25. (even the more fendery vac 23) VERY responsive combos, and selective wattage thats incredibly useful and sounds amazing. down to 3 watts. you hear a clear overdrive tube saturated tone. Simply amazing.

The Naylor SD-60.

The master volume is the best I have ever heard.

Hot tossed ?!??
Lol
I musta been hungry for a salad of my stupid iPhone changed what I initially wrote!
Lol

so the gdec is probably out since I went and had a listen again and just couldn't really get passed the dist tones
it was the 15 watt that I was playing through so I might give the 30 a go as well to see the difference

I tried a Mesa rectoberb 50 and it was pretty darn close to the voicing I like when it was on vintage but the power section if the amp had no punch
