You are only going to get so much clean headroom out of 4EL84's.

The Matchless DC30 is good as well as the Bad Cat Black Cat 30R

As good as these are, I would probably go for a Divided By 13 RSA 31
in a head version with a matching 2X12 cab, loaded with Celestion Blues
or Scumback M75 HP's

Good enough for Rusty Anderson with Paul McCartney's band.




If you want more clean headroom and a great platform for pedals
I'd go for the Reeves Custom 50 or CP-504 if you want the extra gain stage.

For Marshall circuits and touring racks, I'd go to Rack Systems LTD
Dave Friedman's Marsha

The Reinhardt Storm is also good enough for Mark Knopfler on his tour.
