Looking to possibly pickup a solidstate amp as a backup to my tube setup and to use as a grab and go jam rig. Having said that, what are your recommendations? I'm open to new or used, have a $300 budget, and also would need it to have onboard effects (various amp models would be nice as well).

Re: Any good solid-state amp recommendations? Current offerings or out of production?
Peavey VIP2
40 watt
Bunch of amp models
Bunch of pedal and guitar effects (12 string and acoustic)
Tuner
USB port
But the port doesn't act as a recording out just a firmware and effect editing tool
No effects loop
Loud enough to jam with
Probably get lost in a full set with a loud drummer
Weighs like 30 pounds
Get one used for about $120Last edited by ehdwuld; 12-01-2018, 11:14 PM.EHD

Re: Any good solid-state amp recommendations? Current offerings or out of production?
A few questions,
1. Head or combo?
2. What style of music do you play?
3. What kind of wattage do you need?
For a combo my pick would be a Boss Katana 50, for a head a Fender Super Champ X2 (digital modeling/tube hybrid) or the Hotone BritWind and Mojo Attack pedalboard amps look interesting, but don't have effects besides boost and reverb.sigpic

Roland Cube 30
Light weight
About 7 amp models

Takes your pedals well though

I'd go for a Tech 21 Trademark 30...if you can find a Trademark 60 at that price, get it.Administrator of the SDUGF

Also, an AMT Stonehead is awesome & super versatile but probably tough to find for less than $500...

Re: Any good solid-state amp recommendations? Current offerings or out of production?
I will also suggest a Roland Cube 30 or 60.
They have enough amps and effects to fit into any style on the fly (Peavey can do that too, with two channels and without effects....)
They make a 60 if thats the juice you need. I played a show at a club through a 60 running straight to the board - sounded great.Originally posted by Bad City
