Thankyou all very much for your posts. I feel at ease and now excited! Monday couldn't come sooner.

Hey guys! I've just gone and ordered a Marshall MB4210 amp and was wondering what your opinions on it were? I'm currently in a 4 piece indie rock band and have had some issues on my last two gigs with my amp not making any impact at all, becoming completely unheard (It's a 75w Fender Rumble - don't laugh) I've got anyway with it for 6 months with the help of mic-ups but previous venues haven't had this ability and I need something to match my drummers frantic style. Being on a budget is my downside. No head/cab for me I couldn't go over 350 quid and this came in right on the money thanks to January sales with 300w of power and 2x10 speakers. I was going to go for an Ashdown MAG and borrow some extra money to afford it but both of my guitarists swear by Marshall's and I've gone for the plunge and ordered. I've researched and found mixed reviews online with people saying the MB4210 is an amazing amp and has a high quality sound for the price and also some saying that the build quality isn't great and that people have had alot of faults with them. (soldering issues, buzz from amps). I know I should go into a music shop and listen for myself but sadly my local shop only has Ampeg, Vox and Orange. All completely out of my price range. I guess what I'm asking from you guys is your opinion and advice. Am I just overthinking it? Or have I just done something bad All replies greatly appreciated!
