Re: Whats a good punk amp to buy?
I use a Traynor Reverb Mate 40 (I don't play punk, but it's a great amp that costs about $150 from Musician's Friend and ships free). It's got two 8" speakers, 40 Watts of power, two channels. By far the best deal in it's price range. Sounds good, too.
I use a multi effect processor with it. With the levels on my processor where they are, I don't turn my amp's volume past 2, or the cops would be here in about a minute. Get 1 decent overdrive/distortion pedal, crank it and the amp, and wail away.
