Any recommendations for amp?

Re: Any recommendations for amp?

Basically, tube amps are much worse than solid-state amps in every aspect other than the sound they produce, lol. Nobody has ever asked me the difference between Tube and solid-state before, I've no idea where to begin. To be honest ReaGaNz you could write a book answering this question, in fact a lot of people have. I'm genuinely stumped by this one. The only thing I can think to say is that tube are honestly far, far superior amps. I'd bet a considerable amount of money that at least 95% of your favourite albums were recorded with tube amps (we call them valves in the U.K. saying tubes sounds weird to me).

But then again, if you don't know the difference between tube and solid state then why pay the extra? If you give us a bit more info as to what you want the amp for then we'd be able to help more. If you answer these questions I'll be able to offer a far more appropriate recommendation.

1, Are you in a band? If so what is the current line up? If not do you intend to join one soon?

2, Who are your favourite bands/guitarists?

3, What, realistically, is the absolute ceiling figure ($) you can stretch to?

4, What guitar do you play? How long have you been playing? How old are you?

Answer these and I'm sure I'll be able to think of something

1.)I am in a four piece punk rock band. Bass, 2 vocals , 1 rythm, 1 lead. I am playing the rythm.

2.)My favourite bands are GC , Green Day, SP, My chemical romance, yellow card, THe ataris! Guitarists, woo! paul gilbert!

3.) For everything the most i can reach is 700 USD[ceiling figure]

4.) I use a Ibanez GRX 70. I've been playing it for 6 mths. Throughout my career. And i am 18 this year.

Definitely I would try the Valvetronix line as suggested by GJ and other members.
