im in the market for a good combo, something thats got good tone it doesnt need any f/x on it either,and isnt bulky to carry around.this might be asking too much but id like it to be loud enough to use in a live band setting.i dont want to spend over $200.00 and how about it being a tube amp?i would be using for classic rock n roll tones.

How about an epiphone Valve Junior head? Or Combo? They're cheap ($100 or so) and sound really good for what they are.www.experimentsinlowfidelity.com

A Good Tube combo at $200= Slim pickings. But if you can come up with another $50 to $100 you can probably fine something decent used in the under $300 range. There are some forgotten amps that can be had in that price range. Like a Fender Super 60 (or other's of the infamous red knob series) or some old Peavey's like the VTX series.

Re: who makes a good low priced combo amp?
You maybe able to get a deal on a used Fender Blues Jr for $200 USA or a bit more.... Also Used, they are rare but Peavey Classic 20's are sold quite cheap when they are around.... The C20 was only out for a few years and it disappeared... I've also seen C30's for around $250-$300 and they are good cheap tube amps...
In your price range you maybe forced to look at solid state... I know many are not a fan of them but those Fender Deluxe 112's from the early to mid 90's are not bad for a loud practice amp.... i mean they are not bad for the buck! I liked them better then the newer DSP cr*p Fender shoved out in 99 or so... noisey junk.... But those older Deluxe 90's or 112's and the like are quite loud and cheap plus they can sound alright for bedroom practice but be loud enough for jams.. Plus they are light and can be carried in one hand. but that's just my 2 cents....

Traynor! I love mine. It has EL84 tubes too. With my fat strat I can nail the brown sound. The clean is amazing, it has a bright channel that hits the AC30 tone pretty good.
The crate Palominos are good too, but I don't think they're as versatileFender Stratocaster - EMG 81/85 (camo)
