For quite a long time now I’ve been using a Vox AV30 combo. I have no plans of unloading it and will use it until it dies but it’s the only amp I have. I have a couple of DI setups but would like another amp in the stable.
I’ve narrowed it down to these. Two of these I can get used around here.
Blackstar Debut 50R - on back order, nothing used locally, great deal new at $249. No frills 2-channel mosfet amp with reverb.
Quilter Aviator Club UK - one for sale locally. Mint to new condition with cover. Asking price is $450. Great deal for that.
Boss Nextone Stage - one for sale locally. Great condition. Comes with foot switch. Nice features. Listed at $275.
I use a few pedals and all of these appear to be great pedal platforms in addition to have a great core sound. I love the WYSIWYG of the Blackstar and Quilter. The Boss is like that too but has deeper editing capabilities with software. Not sure how deep I’d want to go.
The Quilter seems like a no-brainer at that price compared to what they are new. And they are light. That one is a couple pounds lighter than my Vox. The other two are great deals as well and sound really good from all the demos and reviews I’ve watched, which I have listened to thru studio monitors.
Decisions decisions.
What would you pick?
