Take your $200 and go to all of the local shops in the area, check craigslist, and pray that you find or haggle your way into one heck of a deal.

Members SGGUITARZZZ Posted July 23, 2007 Members Share Posted July 23, 2007 Look on Ebay.

Members JBecker Posted July 23, 2007 Members Share Posted July 23, 2007 I want something that sounds like an SLO and an Ubershall put together with Eventide effects and midi switching. All I've got is 3 dollars and an old sandwhich. What should I get? Seriously, in that range, at giggable volumes, it's all going to sound the same. I don't know if any of the budget quality stuff in that range is going to be giggable, but you can try a Valve Jr, whatever wattage Tech 21 you can get, whatever wattage Valvetronix you can get, or look for a really cheap POD or Tonelab (not even sure if the tonelab gets that low) and pray for a decent PA. But mostly, if you're going to play with a band, get a day job so you can afford the bare minimum equipment. 200 bucks just isn't going to cut it.

Members nyck Posted July 23, 2007 Members Share Posted July 23, 2007 I got my Randall RG100ES head for 240 after shipping, and it's really awesome. I'm coming from a 5150 head, and I have to say I'm very satisfied with my tone. You have to boost it though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members weehaw Posted July 23, 2007 Members Share Posted July 23, 2007 Ditto on the Randall. I saw a Randall RG80PH go for around $150 shipped about a week ago. They are great amps and loud as hell. Check you local pawn shops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Brady Posted July 23, 2007 Members Share Posted July 23, 2007 Your best bet in that budget range is probably a used Peavey Transtube or Bandit solid state amp. You could also check used crates. The tone will be crap, but it will get you through. The bandits can get pretty loud. You may be able to find a Peavey ultra tube amp for that cheap.

Members theAntihero Posted July 23, 2007 Members Share Posted July 23, 2007 You'd be suprised how a little thing like knowing what kinda music you play would help with the "what amp should i get" thing. Seriously though 200 bucks is very little money, you could try used crate 2x12 combos and such but really with that little cash you need to go to every music store in your area and play whatever they have in your price range.

Members exposeenmity Posted July 23, 2007 Members Share Posted July 23, 2007 You have another thread where you're asking the same thing. There are plenty of reviews of amps on the internet. A lot of people here aren't going to have much experience with amps in the $200 range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
