Members Cisco Posted October 18, 2012 Members Share Posted October 18, 2012 I'm in the market. 30-50 watts. Wondering what's out there....outside of the usual Vox, Fender, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Blakemore Effects Posted October 18, 2012 Members Share Posted October 18, 2012 Damn. I was super excited to help, and then I saw the 30-50 watt qualification, so I am no longer helpful. All of my combo amps are around 15-22 watts. I love the {censored} out of my 65 Amps London though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BAXANDALL Posted October 18, 2012 Members Share Posted October 18, 2012 If I was in the market for a combo amp again I'd probably take a good long look at the 2x12 Genz Benz Black Pearl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Beyer160 Posted October 18, 2012 Members Share Posted October 18, 2012 Ampeg VT-22 FTW.True, it's 100 very, very underrated watts so it's much more power than you said you wanted. But they're great amps, and you can pick up a '70s warhorse that rivals modern boutique amps at a fraction of the cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AXEL276 Posted October 18, 2012 Members Share Posted October 18, 2012 Suggest; JVM205C (50 watts, 2 x 12), Blackstar 60 (60 watts, 2 x 12).I actually have a JVM410C (100 watts, 2 x 12) and a Blackstar Soloist (60 watts, 1 x 12). I prefer 1 x 12 combo's. I also use a Tech21 Tradmark 60 ( 60 watts, 1 x 12). The 2 x 12's are freak'in heavy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Grueller Posted October 18, 2012 Members Share Posted October 18, 2012 Originally Posted by npfrs Easily far less on the used market. IIRC, I paid 1400 USD for my Maz 38, which came with a padded cover and a Brake Lite. So it would be more like $1275 after selling those items in the used market. It is {censored}ing loud, and it doesn't sound quite as nice with the attenuator, but fortunately the MV is pretty good on that amp. Great pedal platform.

Members Cisco Posted October 18, 2012 Author Members Share Posted October 18, 2012 VT-22 looks like a winner. $600 seems to be the average for one in good shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll go through those tubes SO incredibly fast you won't even know what hit you. I know this from experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only played a Genz Benz Black Peral twice but both times I was blown away by how great it sounded and it the price it usually goes for used I've been tempted more than once to pick one up.

That's how I felt about it. The Black Pearl is a sweet amp. They are discontinued now I think but stores still have them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
