Members nicoskennedy Posted June 30, 2008 Members Share Posted June 30, 2008 Looking to get a tube combo amp that is rich in tone but also packs a punch and is easy to carry to gigs. Something a little more powerful than the blues jr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members '63-Strat Posted June 30, 2008 Members Share Posted June 30, 2008 There is no "best." Be a little more specific as to what you want. Head, combo - how many and what size speakers if a combo, wattage, style of music, guitars and pedals you'll be using it with, etc. Price range Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members guitarcapo Posted June 30, 2008 Members Share Posted June 30, 2008 Fender Deluxe Reverb. Buy a reissue blackface and replace the speaker with something nice by Weber or Jensen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Randy Van Sykes Posted June 30, 2008 Members Share Posted June 30, 2008 I have not heard a small 1x12 combo amp that gets up to gig volumes, sounds nice and full and thick, and is really easy to carry as much as my Vox Heritage AC15. One channel, just add a distortion and a delay pedal. Set the amp clean and it absolutely loves the Xotic BB Plus pedal, sounds just perfect to me.

Members TheEsupremacy Posted June 30, 2008 Members Share Posted June 30, 2008 I listened to a Diezel Einstien 1X12 and it was one of the nicest combo amps I have ever heard in my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spent about an hour on one of these this past weekend and I was really impressed. I was probably at about 80% on the volume and it had one of the best natural overdrives I have heard. I was playing a ES-339 thru it. It was a joyful noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
