Members 10ae1203 Posted December 21, 2012 Members Share Posted December 21, 2012 I recently purchased the family Kay archtop (maybe a '53 or 56, depending on how I look at internet pix) that I wrote about on the melody vine site, as you may have read, and today got a little something extra in the pay envelope. So now I am thinking I can go look for an amp. I think I want tubes. I think I want vintage, but am not sure. Help me out. I don't know a damned thing about this subject, except that the tiny crate practice amp I once had was nothing special. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chicken Monkey Posted December 22, 2012 Members Share Posted December 22, 2012 Look into the low-wattage amps a lot of the big companies are making how. They're only 5-10 W, a lot of them have tubes, and most of them have a vintage look. They're quiet enough that you can crank them up to natural dirt territory, and apparently they're high quality--I've seen a couple of touring acts micing them up on stage.
