Members Ryan. Posted February 14, 2012 Members Share Posted February 14, 2012 If your primary goal was to have a quality lightweight amp that has excellent cleans... what would you buy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Moustache_Bash Posted February 14, 2012 Members Share Posted February 14, 2012 Fender Deluxe Reverb Reissue.Unless by lightweight you mean a {censored} sized combo. I'd want that JCM800 you have. I don't know how clean it stays, but it looks pretty dang compact. I want that thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Max Factor Posted February 14, 2012 Members Share Posted February 14, 2012 Fender Deluxe Reverb Reissue. Excellent cleans? Only if you keep the volume on 0.5! Hate to say it, but I might look into something solid state if I was you. Most lightweight-ish tube amps will be the kind that break up pretty quick.

Members woolyh Posted February 14, 2012 Members Share Posted February 14, 2012 I mean lightweight as in tired of lugging around a halfstack along with a massive PA system. Maybe a Fender Twin with a set of wheels then, wheels make everything better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ryan. Posted February 14, 2012 Author Members Share Posted February 14, 2012 Maybe a Fender Twin with a set of wheels then, wheels make everything better You're speaking my language. There are two fender twins on sale on my CL right now... one for $700 and one for $600.Says online they're about 64lbs. Not super light... but still way better than the halfstack.

Members Poltergeist Posted February 14, 2012 Members Share Posted February 14, 2012 JCM800 combo. those Fenders are also good suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members macadood Posted February 14, 2012 Members Share Posted February 14, 2012 i'd say Blues Jr or Pro Jr. or Princeton Reverb 64 pounds is still way too much. think of your poor back in 20 years. you'll be spending thousands on chiropractor bills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Operator Posted February 14, 2012 Members Share Posted February 14, 2012 Twin Reverbs are not even regular light. They're a pain in the ass and forget about lifting that {censored} by yourself. Princeton Reverb or suck a cheetah's dick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members woolyh Posted February 14, 2012 Members Share Posted February 14, 2012 Excellent cleans? Only if you keep the volume on 0.5!Use the low outputs ;pI can just imagine someone playing through a DRRI with active EMGs now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members silent-strat Posted February 14, 2012 Members Share Posted February 14, 2012 Nothing suggested so far is remotely light weight. Again I second the SS suggestion, acoustic image maybe? If it's good enough for Pat Martino, it's good enough for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Poltergeist Posted February 14, 2012 Members Share Posted February 14, 2012 wasn't there a thread about a Trace Elliot Velocette on Ebay yesterday? old TE combos are {censored}ing awesome, are super cheap for what they are and USUALLY come with V-30's..... you should probably look into them.

Members Pewtershmit Posted February 14, 2012 Members Share Posted February 14, 2012 do not get a {censored}ing twin. 2x12 combos are far more pain in the ass than a stack, as you can't split the weight up to make it more manageable. because you play like higher gain {censored} with your pedals. I would want something with a closed back. Which somewhat limits your combos, but heads! Get a small head with a 2x12 cab that you can set vertically. maybe a 1x12. The thing with having a seperate head, is that its far more portable. that way when your done a gig, just grab your head first, no one is going to steal a {censored}ty old guitar cab. a really great rig I've run in the past was a peavey classic 30 head on top my cab stood up vertically. great rig. I'd have to do more reasearch on heads. But something with better headroom would be what I want. you don't really need lots of wattage considering your P.A is solid. I hear that tweaker thing is good? we got a budget? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear that tweaker thing is good? we got a budget? What are you? An asshole? I came in to say almosy exactly this. Jeez. Yeah, 212 cabs are where it's at. Also CLOSED {censored}ING BACK. I would recomment the Marshall JCM 900 1936 Cabinet. Has Celestion 75's which seem to love everything, incredibly versatile. Quite light, tough as nails, phenomenal sounding, ridiculously loud, great clean or dirty, and can be had used for 3 to 4 hundred. I have one and am in love. Oh, and the baffle points up a bit which helps you hear onstage. Stand about 8 feet away at it's pointed at your head (maybe further if you're taller) unlike Mesa and Orange style 212s. Oh, and it has casters (or at least the sockets for them). I use this with a full sized head and moving it is pretty easy. I drive a Civic and can fit my whole rig, including guitars with ease, none of that insane 412 in the back seat business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
