  • Take My Ex-wife,,, please....

    Greetings all~ Besides having had access to my 30 some odd,(some very odd) amps, I put her into a Marshall 4210 combo which weighed as much as her,, then she picked up a fabulous & original Blues Jr. Relic (P12R),...
    Fast forward almost 20 yrs, she dumped the BJr, & I bought her the Monoprice 15w tube combo, 27 lbs?, thinking it would be perfect,,,, light, tube, reverb.... But now, at 67, she wants out, & wants to get into a small, light, solid state, 1x10" or 12" amp, reverb,,, NO modeling (has pedals), & I'm waaay out of my comfort zone.... Any suggestions on anything that might be a perfect fit, & not too cheesy and/or unreliable, & w/a decent clean sound for her not too shabby gtr collection??
    I'm tapping out....
    Thanks as always for all the best adviceॐ

    I am not sure what it weighs but it seems to fit your bill

      When I was starting out, the Gallien Kruger 250ML was the answer to all those problems. Amazing sounding little box.

      Nowadays, a BOSS Katana or Fender Mustang seems to be a similar answer. Though small light weight solid state amps now all seem to be modeled these days. Don't know how you would avoid it.

      Another option might be a good headphone guitar amp (Line 6, VOX AmpPlug, etc.) into clean power like a PowerStage, Quilter, 44 Magnum, Orange Pedal Baby, etc., into a small speaker cab of your choice.

      For a pure, lightweight, fun amp, I use a Fender Champion 600. 6V6-based, 1x6 speaker, doesn't weigh a thing, sounds amazing. Breaks up like a little Marshall.

        Solid state with a 12 incher, Fender Campion 40. Big clean sound.
        I get the feeling the A8 will blow your skirt up more so - Edgecrusher
