Members burton4snow Posted April 6, 2008 Members Share Posted April 6, 2008 I have around $2500 to spend on an amp. I've been playing out of $300 amps so I am kind of at a loss on what to look at. It is going to be used in a garage setting thats insulated and drywalled. I just bought a Deusenberg and need something that will keep up with it. Please Help!

Members aenemated Posted April 6, 2008 Members Share Posted April 6, 2008 fwiw, i think the newish marshall vintage moderns cover all your bases pretty well. that's a solid amp, imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Joebelow Posted April 6, 2008 Members Share Posted April 6, 2008 Can't disagree with Marshall ^ But if it were me I'd probably get into some Orange stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Phishmonkey Posted April 6, 2008 Members Share Posted April 6, 2008 I'm pretty sure this will be my next amp http://www.egnater.com/amps.html#mod50 This will literally cover everything, no exaggeration. $2000 gets you a head and two modules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members The Lou-Dog Posted April 6, 2008 Members Share Posted April 6, 2008 Yum, i like the Vibro-King option. Might not be the best for Hard Rock though, unless you can turn up loud and chuck a Tubescreamer or something in front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members aenemated Posted April 6, 2008 Members Share Posted April 6, 2008 i'm not entirely sure a fender amp is gonna get what he wants, unless he wants to get into the stompbox game, too. for classic rock, old school punk and {censored} ... just a good ol marshall (or orange) will work pretty damn well. not to {censored} on fender amps in any way.

My main amp is a Fender Deluxe Reverb. Best amp I've ever owned. But if you're playing punk and stuff, Fender is not gonna work for you so well. And the stompbox game can be a costly, fiddly pain in the ass. Remember, no gain channel on a lot of Fender amps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
