Re: Brands for your guitar amps?
I have a Marshall JCM900 head and 2 x 12 cab - This is too loud for home use
I bought a Laney LC15R - 15 watt valve amp but again this is just too loud for normal home use.
I now use a Marshall valvestate amp at home. This goes very loud but is also good at lower volumes.

I am not sure how Marshall Valvestate amps run but I like their features because everyone wishes to has such amp. Good quality at low volumes.

have you not heard of the saying that goes " the player makes the guitar."? it goes for your amp as well.
Re: Brands for your guitar amps?
I think Marshall has the best sounding and most reliable amps. I would no use any other for my music!

I have a 1970's Laney all valve head, into a 1961 Marshall 2x12 cab, which is brilliant for clean, and almost impossible to overdrive, also a Session Duette which is very nice for a solid state amp, But my favourite at the moment is the new Fender Mustang 2, modeling amp's aren't that popular it seems, but I think this is cool, especially the twin reverb, and 60's Marshall sounds, I'm loving it. 
I didn't get where I am today,
by being somewhere else.

Do you use the Blackstar even fro practice and how does it preform at lower volumes?
Re: Brands for your guitar amps?
That Blackstar is a beast, but I dont use it at low volumes. In practice I plug into my Boss JS8 - Its a nice little jam station, practice devise that has a lot of versatility. Also for home use I have a couple of small Line 6's, like the Micro and a Spider 15.
I dont like lugging my BlackStar around, its big n heavy, so I travel light as possible.
