Re: Practice Amps
I agree with the Tech 21 M10. This thing rocks for it's size, does Metallica even. I like to play my acoustic through it. I slightly compresses the sound and it sounds awsome. It is pricey. I bought a floor model for 190.00. I found that even low watt tube amps 15watts have to be driven to get nice tones then they are too loud. The clean channel is not very loud at all though. I use it instead of the pod.

I, me and myself have a Roland micro cube, works for me, i made some sound clips of the amp but they suck big time

How do you like your ashdown peacemaker? I picked up the 20 watt version off of ebay, brand new for 250 (needed a new meter on the front since it got broken on the show room floor) but all my friends love the sound of it. Just wondered what you thought of yours, cause I haven't really played too many other amps...though I'm dreamin to play a MESA Boogie rectifier (different tonal beast completely i'm sure) :dance:

I'd recommend the Line 6 Spider II 30 watt 1x12 ($200 new) or the Line 6 Spider II 50 watt 1x12 ($300 new). For the money I think they are a great buy.

Re: Practice Amps
what about the crate v series? they have a 5 watt amp (tube)... i was looking at thoughs for a while. torres engeniering makes a 1.5 watt amp (tube). might try looking for an old fender champ 6 watts (tube). I just bought a vibrochamp and i cant wait for it to get here!

Re: Practice Amps
It's warm and mellow which suits me down to the ground. I nearly bought the 20w but ended up with a 40w as thats what the shop had in stock. I was really after a Cornford Harlequin, which in my view is the mutts nutts but could't justify the extra £230 quid at the time.
Wouldn't bother with the meter they hardly ever work and if they do you have to have it cranked up to see it move.

Re: Practice Amps
I'm a big fan of the small older Supro type tube amps. Can get them fairly cheap and the cleans are awesome (clean to cool break-up). I have a 10 watt 50's tweed supro and an 5 watt D ickerson. There cool as hell.
