Re: How many watts do you really need?
How many watts do I really need? Here's how I'm trying to do things:
1) 100 watt 4 x 12 half stack for when I want to play loud, and for gigs if I ever sort a band out (if I ever need anything more I'll just borrow a second cab from someone).
2) Piddly little Marshall MS2 (the one that takes a 9 volt battery and clips on your belt) for when I drive up to my girlfriend's flat or something. Portable, and will go in a gig bag with a guitar.
3) 15 Watt orange practice amp for when I want to practice a little more quietly at home and don't want to use the batteries up on the MS2.
4) When the Orange amp annoys me, I use my brother's little Marshall amp, I think it's 20 watts.
I think a practice amp and a gigging amp is the way to go. That little Marshall MS 2 cost £20, and does exactly what I wanted it for.
