Depends on what you want & need. But everything went up past few years, I coulda bought a DSL40C new for $499 on sale in 2018. Found a YBA1 & ran my Tri AC through it instead, with the Thiele.
60w and 1 12" could *just* keep up with Platinum Metal Drummer in the same room, but I couldn't bully him.
With the 40w running as a head with a 4x12 I think you're better off tbh. And Plat was as LOUD as any drummer can get. If we still jammed, or I anticipated finding a replacement, I'd spring gor the 100w.
If I was more of an Orange guy, I could love the Super Crush, and will probably get one sometime. JFETs, baby. But $499 gets me the DSL.
Tube amps might become more of a viable long term option. SMT components and corporate fuckery make "cheap solid state" new stuff unrepairable.
I have a Peavey Supreme 100 and a Marshall Lead30 for old school solid state, and tbh they're all I'd *need*. One is 90s and the other is as old as I am.
