Amp suggestions for $400 or less.

Re: Amp suggestions for $400 or less.

No problem don't let the 10 inch speaker fool you it is amazing. I have tried the Blackstar ID series was not impressed. And the quality build of the Orange is very very good.

I'll have to see if I can find an orange in somewhere to try. I had a rockerverb 100 that I loved but had to sell.

The Mustang III is good, loud, versatile but a bit harsh sounding. A friend recently got a Boss Katana 2x12...not a bad sound in it. The single 12 is probably worth a try, though I believe it lacks some of the nicer features of the twin ( fx loop?)

Thanks for the options guys. I'll see which ones I can find to try out. What about the blackstar ID tvp series? I saw a few people suggest the orange crush 35R. How would the 10" speaker hold up to drop C tuning?

I would be on the lookout for a used 60w Crush60 with the 12" speaker, or if you have a cab, the 120w head.

I believe once you go Orange you will never look back. If you are looking for an amp that is made to be an amp. I am not one for all the synthesized sounds that some of the amp company's are making, you are paying for that. The quality of their amps themselves are built cheaply IMO. And as far of the quality of the speakers are producing are not that good. I choose to use pedals to get other sounds I am looking for. I am referring to those amps in the 50 watt class Katana 50 Blackstar ID series, Cube as I had tried out many amps in this class and the Orange Crush 35 RT won by a landslide also including the price.

No it isn't harsh.

And the quality of the effects built right in to the Mustang is so high that I don't even use my pedals with the Mustang.

My Klon, Korg SDD-1000, Providence delay and everything else just sit on my pedalboards unused. I don't need them.

The 12" Celestion speaker that comes with the Mustang sounds great! If the amp died someday I'd remove that speaker and use it in something else.

Check out Joyo. They make some really good compact, affordable amps (the batamp I think it's called is less than $200) hybrid and full tube.
