'Imitation' Tube amp ?

[Dane12]

I'm looking for either a relatively cheap tube amp or a solid state/modeling that can replicate a 'tube amp' sound. It has to be at least 20 watts
Any suggestions?

How cheap is relatively cheap?

Roland cube
But at gig volumes it may not have enough ....

A larger 40-60-80 may do better

My thirty wasn't up to it

What kind of sound are you going for? Could you be any more vague?

BOOM! I got one and it's not bad for the money and you can plug it straight into a board.

Second the Roland. I've gigged with my Cube 60 a fair amount. Throw a mic on it and it sounds great. I take it to all my gigs as a backup amp and I never hesitate to use it in situations where size is a factor (my main amp is a Super Sonic Twin, which doesn't fit on small stages well).

I could probably name 20 amps right now from what you stated in your first post, yet none of them could be anywhere remotely what type of tone you're after, since you didn't tell us.

That is the holy grail of the guitar industry.

If you are willing to go used I would look at the 20, 30 or 50 watt Crate Vintage Club amps or the 30 and 50 watt Peavey Classics for $250-400. A Fender Super Champ XD or X2 would be a good choice and I have seen those in the $200-300 price range, but they are only 15 watts.

This might be worth looking into.
