Members Syyle Posted February 13, 2009 Members Share Posted February 13, 2009 Can anyone recommend me a decent/cheap amp setup? My budget is around $700 for both the cab and the amp head. I am looking for a tube amp. I would like a half stack cab, and I have no issues going the used route so that should bring some better items within my price range. Any thoughts? Maybe the Peavey Valveking rig (both cab/head)? The sound I play is a cross between Gojira and Tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Dimebag11 Posted February 13, 2009 Members Share Posted February 13, 2009 if you can budget yourself another $150 you can scour craigslist for a cheap 1960A and a 5150. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Erim Posted February 13, 2009 Members Share Posted February 13, 2009 Not exactly metal material, but you could get a Sovtek MIG100 for like 400-500$ if you look around and then save the rest toward a cheap aforementioned local CL 1960a. IMO Sovtek did a pretty good JCM800 clone, and the cleans are rockin, especially if you use an EQ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members awanderingchild Posted February 14, 2009 Members Share Posted February 14, 2009 sorry to spam, but i've got an Ampeg VL-1002 half stack... not familiar with the first band, but tool type tones can get nabbed by this thing. mine's in that price range and depending on where you live could delivered.

Members PlinytheWelder Posted February 14, 2009 Members Share Posted February 14, 2009 That Ampeg will probably do it. The 2 cheapies that I have would get you in the ballpark, too. A Crate Stealth GT-50H or a Laney AOR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members chibecca Posted February 14, 2009 Members Share Posted February 14, 2009 also, did some price research on that 6505, and that mother is pretty expensive (even used). The 112 combo will fit your price range. It should be out this spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Uncle_Milton Posted February 14, 2009 Members Share Posted February 14, 2009 if you can budget yourself another $150 you can scour craigslist for a cheap 1960A and a 5150. Gojira get's most of their tone from 5150s and Duel Recs, might as well have the same stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Syyle Posted February 14, 2009 Author Members Share Posted February 14, 2009 i left out some pretty important information i guess.... i am playing a schecter c-1 classic, real nice/fat/sustain/crunch tone. my effects rig is a BBE sonic maximizer and a BOSS GT-10. how do these items factor into my decision?
