New HT Club 50 user

[Tnrocks]

Hello all!

I am new to Blackstar and I previously owned the 5150III 50w. To be honest I couldn't stand the 5150. The volume drop on the clean channel was impossible to deal with. The amp itself was pretty much a one trick pony. I watched demos on the HT Club 50 and read a ton of reviews. I'm waiting for mine to arrive but I think I might have found the amp I am looking for.

A little about myself. I play guitar in a hard rock cover/original band. Some nights we will do up to 40 covers of classic rock to modern metal. I need something versatile with a quiet effects loop. I wanted sort of a Marshall JCM 800 tone but yet I need a great clean sound. I want that marshall type snarl/crunch without the amp being noisy

Hopefully I found what I am looking for.
