Cheap Solid State Little Fender?

[Aceman]

I lent my daughter a spare Digitech RP-12, a BBE Stomp Sonic pedal and Boss GE-7 Band Eq with her cheap Squier S 10 amp .... sounds great .

LOL - I'd HOPE all of that could sue a decent sound out of whatever speaker it passed through!!!!:laugh2:

You've already got a direction going, but FWIW anyone else reading this in the future, a few other options I either have used or would entertain for strictly bedroom purpose

Zoom MS-50G >> Personal monitor like a Mackie SRM-150, BOSS MA-15A or Beringer or Galaxy (just change the speaker if you need to on those cheaper ones). I use the Zoom for all the amps and the monitor just as a clean P.A. for it. Have even used it live in a small setting and sounded really good, sounded way bigger than it was.

Vox ToneLab or Tech21 SansAmp >> BOSS Katana or Tech21 Trademark

Line6 Flextone III amp (does Fender, Marshall, VOX, Hiwatt, Mesa pretty faithfully)

Vox Valvetronix (blue grill; does Marshall better than Marshall; I believe this amp's emulation section became the ToneLab floor module, but the full amp/cab sounds amazing)

those old blue grill valvetronix amps were great

I never had luck with the Valvetronix, there was always something weird there for me. Always loved the Tech21 stuff, though.

i liked the 1st gen blue ones, the later ones didnt sound or feel as good to me. i do like the tech21 stuff too, the little 10w was fantastic

Yeah, it was! I had one for years, and a student begged me to sell it to him. I still own the 60 watt version.

I used a Digitech GNX pedal (precursor to the RP series) into a bass amp for years

I recenIly got the EHX 5mm , a 2.5 watt power pedal

So i can run a preamp pedal into my HB vertical 2x12

I was thinking of getting a new modeler like the Moorer GE150 or Zoom G1x or some such
and running into the 5mm

But I still have the GNX and it sounds good

Ace has a powered speaker

Like I said before , I have a Spark Go for traveling
It is awesome for small bedroom amps

Wide open you won't get running out of the hotel
Which isn't true for a 10 watt valve combo
Ask me how I know

my 20 watt Joyo Zombie sounds great on the clean channel
the gain channel sounds nothing like the Mesa it's modeled on

I have like 8 or 9. I run into my Samson wedges with my Pod Go all the time.

The BBE makes the speaker bareable and aligns the frequencies very well, all it took was effort.

My wife got me a Boss Katana Mini-X for Christmas and I have to say it is one of the coolest little amps I've seen. No programming, just 3 different "channels" each with 2 voicings, built-in effects, tuner, headphone out, aux-in, AND fully rechargeable. Can take it anywhere. One charge lasts a long time, I think the spec sheet says 10 hours. I use it all the time in my office.

I like a tuner on a bedroom rig

If your aren't gonna take a pedal board into the bedroom.
An on board tuner is awesome

My blackstar IBeam 20 what has a tuner

My Peavey VIP2 40 has a tuner

All my modeling pedals have one

I have trouble with the headstock tuners
Keeping up with them
They don't like my Epiphone headstock

 

[Mincer]

The only headstock tuner I will use is the D'addario Micro Tuner.

I have 3 of those. Love their low profile. Also have a Korg Sledgehammer Pro and a Fender Flash 2.0.

Why no Snark?

I have a couple laying around the house. At home totally fine with using whatever. Snark, Multi-fx built in, phone, tune to a tone, whatever.

Live it's board based tuner all the way.

 

[ErikH]

Live it's board based tuner all the way.

Yes! 1000% Got 3 tuner pedals myself, 2 Korg Pitchblack Customs and a TC Polytune 2 mini.

Live, I use either a Guyatone pedal tuner that can be seen in bright sunlight, or the tuner on my HX Effects or M13. I will use a soundhole tuner on my nylon string. I don't use headstock tuners live at all.

Same I do not like the look of a headstock tuner live. I use the tuner in my H9. If I had to use a clip-on live I would remove it between tunings.

Another reason for the death of live music; Musicians that use clip on tuners during a performance.

If...the guitarist is wearing cargo shorts, white sneakers, a fedora, Tommy Bahama shirt or any combination of the four, I will overlook the clip on.

All 5 are standard wear for most Florida musicians (not me).
