It's my girlfriends birthday coming up and she has neither a bass amp nor guitar amp, but has both instruments. What's a good cheap bass amp that can also do guitar well? I'm looking at a Rumble 40 rn and I hear that one is almost like a Bassman

I know the Peavey Vypyr series had guitar amp and bass amp models included. They made several combos.

Katana guitar or bass amp?
I'd be concerned about a guitar tuned speaker being flogged by the low-end of a bass. You could turn down the bass frequencies on the amp, but the risk is still there at higher volume. Anyone have experience with this on a Katana guitar amp combo?
Sending the amp output to a separate bass cab could be a workaround but would also add cost to an otherwise budget option.Last edited by Animal; 05-28-2023, 06:10 AM.

Well, the Katana isn't marketed as a bass amp, too, and I don't think it includes bass amp models.Administrator of the SDUGF

There is a Katana bass amp series, but I'm not sure if that is what is being suggested.Last edited by Animal; 05-29-2023, 05:32 AM.

OP is looking for a SUB 300 dollar amp that can do both right?
I mean, it's not going to sound like an SVT.

I mean, they refer to this in several Katana demo videos....
Can you get to a store and try a few of these and Fenders and see how you feel?Last edited by NegativeEase; 05-28-2023, 11:06 AM.“For me, when everything goes wrong – that’s when adventure starts.” Yvonne Chouinard

Well, that's why I suggested the Vypyr, as it has bass models in there as well as a bunch of guitar models.Administrator of the SDUGF

I've got a friend with a Rumble 40. It's great for bass, I'll let you know the guitar tones on it this Thursday if you aren't set on making a decision right away.You will never understand How it feels to live your life With no meaning or control And with nowhere left to go You are amazed that they exist And they burn so bright
Whilst you can only wonder why
