Small amp for flat usage

[majewsky]

Hello!

Like I've posted few minutes ago, I'm moving to flat and I need a replacment for my Peavey Classic 30.

I was thinking about audi interfaces, but I couldn't take them on gigs or jam sessions or w/e.

I need an amp that would be overdrive oriented. (I can live with "so so" cleans), but the most crcial part is the size and possibility to play VERY quiet or evven better on headphones.

I've already did some resarch and I'm currently leaning towards the Laney IRT Studio. It's full tube amp with speaker simualtions out, USB so it can work as audio interface and have headpone output as well as 1W.

Has anyone got better alternatives or play the Laney to give a short review?

BTW I was thinking about pairing it with 112 cab with neo spekaer to save some weight.

Marshall Class 5.

It is probably too loud for a flat, but man, with *GOOD 'over-ear' head phones, those amps sound GORGEOUS when you plug your headphones in.

I play many nights like that . . . this amp WINS hands down, for it's 'headphone out' sound !



* Sony MDR-7506 set - $80'ish.

The bugera v5 is a sweet sounding little amp. Brit tone and a verb. Blackstar is a good way to go. Fender super champ x2 as well.

Modeling pedal + powered speaker or headphones


You could send a Joyo preamp pedal like the one that supposed to sound like a cranked Marshall into a small clean keyboard amp
Get a.bigger amp or plug into a pa to gig

Ok, thanks for the suggestions!

Class 5, X2 and blackstars looks good. Especially the Champs' USB port for recording.

I've got the strange feeling that someone here has or had the IRT Studio. I think it's time for some research!

That would be Toe-knee, and he's selling his (doesn't need it any longer).
