Howdy everyone.
Current gear: RedBear MK60, Bugera G5, POD HD500, 4x12 cab, Mr. Black Doomstick
My days of carrying two 4x12's and two heads to gigs are over.
I've recently found myself in a situation where I need a gig-able 15-30w tube combo.
I'm considering:
Bugera V22
Jet City JCA2112
Orange AD30R
Another option is to get a small head and one or two 1x12 cabs, or one 2x12 cab, which opens up way more possibilities, but also costs considerably more.
Top contenders there would be the OR15 or Brent Hinds Terror.
My main stuff I jam to at home is stoner/sludge/grunge shenanigans: Sleep, High on Fire, Mastodon, The Sword, Down, CoC, EYEHATEGOD, Kyuss, Kylesa, Baroness, Soundgarden, AIC, etc.
That said, I need something that can nail some classic rock, Hendrix, Skynyrd, AC/DC, VH, Def Leppard, Journey -- for a cover band.
So yeah, need it for small-ish gigs.
Yeah, gobs of headroom is nice, but cranking a 60W tube amp is just too loud for the neighbors, and they ain't even that close
So, sure I guess I could also consider 50W combos. 6505 Combo, Mesa .50 Cal combo, but I'm leaning lower watt.
I would LIKE to get something for $700 or less...
Any other recommendations?
edit: or..........get a good attenuator for my RedBear and get a 2x12 cab.
