Members omni Posted January 6, 2013 Members Share Posted January 6, 2013 I don't want to spend much. I want something that is fun playing through with lots of gain but with a good tone. Any recommendations? I ain't going to Guitar Center to try them out. I'll order online. I like high gain but with nice tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members linthat22 Posted January 6, 2013 Members Share Posted January 6, 2013 Dude, the Orange Micro Terror, that unless you want something bigger and ALL tube For $150, you can't go wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Phrophus Posted January 6, 2013 Members Share Posted January 6, 2013 How small and how much are you looking to spend?I thoroughly enjoyed my blackstar HT5 when I had it. It's not exactly my favorite tone or anything, but it sounded plenty good for a small amp. Egnater tweakers are fun as well, but if you're looking for high gain as in modern metal territory, I don't think it's the best option. But, for more classic rockish type stuff, it's nice. I played a mini recto once in a music store and thought it was pretty killer, but it's about a grand new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Pine Apple Slim Posted January 6, 2013 Members Share Posted January 6, 2013 The Micro Terror is tempting as hell. I also like that little Kustom one. From the online vids I think the Greta would be fun. VHT6 looks like what I would typically prefer, but I havn't tried it.The main reason I havn't bought a small tube head is I dont have a cab. But since Im getting my Bassman overhauled thats about to change. I can see the real possibility of a Tiny Terror(or the head cabinet version with the effects loop) in my future. I grown to really appreciate the sounds an Orange puts out, not quite like anything else IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members colejustesen Posted January 6, 2013 Members Share Posted January 6, 2013 What type of high gain are we talking about? I picked up an Egnater Tweaker 15 watt head and it covers so much ground. I love how it sounds on the vintage USA setting (I was looking at other cleaner type amps when I decided on this). However, I switched it over to the modern British settings and this thing rips without pedals! I would say that it will definitely cover modern hard rock, but I am not sure about modern metal [since I don't play that music]...It has been super fun!Cole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members EdMan57 Posted January 7, 2013 Members Share Posted January 7, 2013 I'm quite fond of my Krank RevJr Pro 20 watt head.A surprisingly flexible high gain mode with a pretty sweet sounding clean side.Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
