Members elsupermanny14 Posted February 25, 2008 Members Share Posted February 25, 2008 So in like three weeks I get a check from UCR Rec Center for like $350 bucks for being the president of the student governing board. Then Musician's Friend just credited me with $230 (cuz they mess up my order), and my birthday is in a month. I know I'm going to buy a new amp...I just don't know which one. But yeah anyways...you know how it is...when you're thinking of buying certain gear it's all you think about it. Therefore I'm thinking about 30watt tube amps and others with less power. So...if you only own amps that are 30watts or less let me know and post a pic too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaleH Posted February 25, 2008 Members Share Posted February 25, 2008 What kind of guitars you got , humbuckers / single coils. Fender Deluxe Rvverb Reissue is a nice amp . Not sure if you need that much power though.NOS Tweed Blues Junior are a 15 wat and I think there well worth the money. Still very loud for home use.

Members elsupermanny14 Posted February 25, 2008 Author Members Share Posted February 25, 2008 I've got a Strat loaded with really hot single coils in the neck and middle and a sreamin demon full size humbucker in the bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members id-man Posted February 25, 2008 Members Share Posted February 25, 2008 Fender Deluxe Reverb Reissue is a nice ampSmart man there. I love small tube amps. The DRRI is really my biggest at (22w) and the one nothing can top yet for it's combination of clean or breakup with plenty of volume and portability. My other small amps are a Fender Pro JR (15w), a truly funky Kalamazoo Model II (5w) and one that's so new it's still being shipped right now, a Gibson Goldtone Les Paul Jr which I have high hopes for; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members o.versteer Posted February 25, 2008 Members Share Posted February 25, 2008 22W '67 BF Deluxe Reverb - the best amp in the world, officially 5W '07 Champion 600 - not the best amp in the world, officially Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Alchemist Posted February 25, 2008 Members Share Posted February 25, 2008 I have a 5 watt, 22 watt, and 85 watt..... but the wattage is just a small part of the overall design.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faber Posted February 25, 2008 Members Share Posted February 25, 2008 Got three amps Bassman LTD (50w) Trace Eliott Velocette 15w, 1X10 - not my amp, but the spitting image of mine and a Blues Jr. I only bring one of the latte to gigs these days. uch much easier on the back, and the Velo in particular is a great sounding amp. If you can find one used, pounce! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members metalheadUK Posted February 25, 2008 Members Share Posted February 25, 2008 I've got a little 5 watt el84 head that I got from a forumite, A Vox AD30VT, , and an Epiphone Electar tube 10, + a couple of cheapo tranny practice jobbies which make up my under 30 watts squad.

Members Shire Posted February 25, 2008 Members Share Posted February 25, 2008 I've got a Fender Champ 600 and an Epiphone Valve Junior head. Both great amps for the money although I might upgrade sto something with more features soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members metallica_00 Posted February 25, 2008 Members Share Posted February 25, 2008 I've got a Peavey Classic 20 (15W EL84 tubes) and a Fender Deluxe Reverb RI (22W 6V6 tubes). Both are cool amps. I think the the 15-30W range is the best area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BlackHatHunter Posted February 25, 2008 Members Share Posted February 25, 2008 18 watter is my "loudest" amp... Carmen Ghia, Blues Jr, and... microcube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Grantus Posted February 25, 2008 Members Share Posted February 25, 2008 You can see one in the pix to the left. I have a 15-watt Fender Pro Junior, a 15-watt Fender GDEC, and I just picked up a Behringer Firebird for $25 off the ebay. It's actually a decent-sounding solid-state amp with tape out jacks for computer recording. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ladykiller245 Posted February 25, 2008 Members Share Posted February 25, 2008 vox ad30vt is probably the bestest sounding 30 watt amp in the business right now...if i were you i'd go with it, I have the 100 watt version its very godly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Rick 381 Posted February 25, 2008 Members Share Posted February 25, 2008 One of the greatest amps in history, the Vox AC-30, At $1200 it may be pricey but worth it. If you can't swing it try it's little brother the AC-15 at $600 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Procreatur Posted February 25, 2008 Members Share Posted February 25, 2008 most of mine are above 30 watts. i have a VJ, and an old ampeg jet, that should be around 12-15 watts. it needs to be rebuilt. my other amps are a vibrolux clone (40 watts), a 5F4 super in the works(35-40 watts), and i just bought a BF showman head (85 watts). i need new speakers for the big boy though. it'll crush my green back/g12h combo.

Members BAXANDALL Posted February 25, 2008 Members Share Posted February 25, 2008 Here's my under 30 watt powered amps. First my Torres Boogie Mite. This amp is very focused yet has a lot of features that allow you to adjust your tone to almost any clean or classic OD sound you'd want. 3 watts. You would need an extension cab with it though. A 112 or 210 would be a great match for a cab type with this little giant. Gut shot Here's my 1965 Princeton. For perfect Fender cleans this little guy is the bomb. It gives almost no breakup until past 8! Gut shot Here's my Epi Valve Jr. Stock mk2. Breaks up almost immediately but has a cool blues style type tone. Last (sort of cheating) here's my Genz Benz El Diablo 60. I use it in the 30 watt triode mode though so technically it's 30 watts, at least in my house it is. Gut shot If you are worried about wattage equalling volume I'd say any of these amps could be heard by the neighbors. I probably wouldn't gig with the Torres or the Valve Jr. but they're quite loud in the house and great for recording. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members iowa 51 Posted February 25, 2008 Members Share Posted February 25, 2008 No pic's right now, but both of my amps are well under 30 watts. Epi Valve Jr head (Bitmo spanky and tone stack) w. vj cab Zinky Velveteen 13w 1-12 combo. The VJ gives me the dirty stuff and the Velveteen covers the cleans.
