Members FallofEmpyrean Posted August 1, 2006 Members Share Posted August 1, 2006 I am mainly going to be using it for distorted stuff (metal, mainly), although I have a few pedals I can use, so it doesn't necessarily need to be able to create distortion. I am really only going to use it for demo recording and quieter practice playing, and I would prefer it to be under $200. Anyone have any good suggestions? Thanks!

How about a used PODxt with the metal pack? You might find one for that price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gafyagaton Posted August 1, 2006 Members Share Posted August 1, 2006 just get anything cheap. Practice amps dont have to be luxury amps. Modellers are the optimum choice i think. 90% of my practicing is now on my zoom palmtop studio. Its about $200 i think. (i bought it for $100ish during a blowout). My KMD rig is sitting in my bud's garage. I dont even miss it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're pedals consist of any boost pedal, a heavy distortion pedal and a noise suppressor of some type...then any amp will do the job because you'll be getting most of your sound from your pedals. I run my guitar into a Boss NS-2 with a dimed Ibanez TS-9 in the loop into a Boss MT-2 into an Epiphone Valve Junior powering a Krank 412. It's the best for practice and recording.

Members aortizjr Posted August 1, 2006 Members Share Posted August 1, 2006 If you use pedals, almost anything will work really. Just get something with a clean channel. Check the Microcube stuff from Roland and Vox has some cool offerings. Even check out Behringer, for home they are great. Line 6 has some nice stuff as well. You can easily stay under the $200 range. I would probably go with a modeller, more tone and features for the money. Plus you often get direct recording options and such as well. Personally I use a Behringer V-Ampire 1x12 and it works great. It is like $250 but has a ton of options and is even giggable. I have played with the Roland stuff and it is nice. I am dying to try out the Vox one though. It looks pretty cool.
