Hey yall, I need a new little practice amp just to keep at my dads house. I need barely any watts, 15 at the most, and i just need it to have a good distortion and clean channel, with ok tone for the price(50-110$). Reccommendations?
 
Re: Recommend me a tiny Practice amp?

The Fender Frontman 15G(around 70 bucks) and 15R (around 100 bucks) are good practice amps for the price. They are both 15 watts and have a clean and drive channel. They have a 3 band EQ and the 15R has reverb. They have one 8 inch speaker and a closed back. I have the 25R which is a loud amp.

Hope this helps

+1 on the microcube....awesome little practice amp...and portable to boot...ac or dc power.....

I'm a happy Micro Cube owner but if you're looking for something with 2 channels and ~15W, the Cube 15 is a better (and cheaper) alternative.

A little more expensive than your range but, You cant beat a tech21 trademark 10!!!! It has Marshall, Mesa like distortion, spring reverb, three different speaker settings, and looks like a million bucks. BTW, it also comes with an amp cover.

Line 6 makes some smaller amps, and I like the way they sound, even though they're itty bitty..

Does the Micro Cube come with the ac adaptor?

yup....they go for $125 new but you can bring it down to 105-110.....got mine for 105 new.....i also second the tech 21 10 (i own both) but the price difference is too far apart....

Late edition ....
Actually as far as practice/teaching amps go, I always stand by the Peavey Blazer or Rages (rage doesn't have reverb, althought the Blazer doesn't have much ) ... 15 watts, open back, 8" speaker, switchable channels, shared 3 band EQ, cd/tape inputs, headphone output ...
However ... Crate (not a name you'll hear me speak of to often mind you) has one, same features, plus better reverb, and what also appears to be a cabinet simulated line out (has all the other features of the Peavey, although the Peaveys, do have a kinda bright switch thing on them) ... I think GC or SA had them for $99 .... Crate XT15R ... Worth looking into to.

I hate the Micro cube, had one, sold it, bought a Vox Pathfinder 15R which i love! My search for the best practice amp is over!

Check out the Tech21 TM10 also!

+1 for a Line 6.Pretty versetaille and many effects,also they deliver good tone(at least my spider 30 does,not so sure about the smaller ones with he smaer speakers)
