Members Optimus Prime Posted January 3, 2008 Members Share Posted January 3, 2008 Ashdown Electric Blue 15-180 1. $399 (got one for $340) 2. Apparently I'm the only one alive who can't get a good overdriven tone. But clean the thing is a beast. 3. Can carry it one handed, not extremely heavy.

Weight: 26 lbs Yeah, those are tough to beat. For bigger bang for buck, Rolands' new Cube 100 is pretty sweet. For max bang for buck, I like Peaveys' Max112. I wouldn't recommend these for gigging in a loud rock band type situation, but for practice, accompanying acoustic players, worship & coffee house gigs, they're all great amps. I'd love to try SWR's BabyBabyBlue. The original is VERY highly regarded and this is supposed to be the same amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members chunky-b Posted January 3, 2008 Members Share Posted January 3, 2008 I vote for MAX112 from Peavey. Paid $179. I can carry it one handed. Good tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mytola Posted January 3, 2008 Members Share Posted January 3, 2008 Markbass CMD 102P. No idea what they go for in the states, but they are 500w in 4ohms with extension cab (300w in 8 ohms to the 2x internal 10's) 19kg, and sounds VERY good. Probably on the expensive side though. Heard good things about the Peavey Max 112 as well. That's of course a LOT cheaper, but really for people with different needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mrmatt64 Posted January 3, 2008 Members Share Posted January 3, 2008 Might be a LOT of disagreements here, but my Hartke (pre-Samson) Kickback 12 has been absolutely incredible for my smaller type gigs. Super easy to carry, plenty loud with a great DI out on the front panel, and I got it a few years back for under $350. Although they're the traditional Hartke speakers, I get a great sound live. Of course, my Pedulla MVP 6 helps alot with the overall sound....... Mr. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members stevieg88 Posted January 12, 2008 Members Share Posted January 12, 2008 Hey, I would without hesitation recommend a SWR Super Redhead. Perhaps a bit pricey new, though well worth it. And since they are built like an armored personnel carrier a used one may be had for an excellent price. I made the comment on their overall strength and durability because a used Super Redhead would not likely be any worse for wear, trust trust yet verify or, caveat emptor. And all that considered they are not very heavy; well placed handle and casters. s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members blueyedmule Posted January 13, 2008 Members Share Posted January 13, 2008 I have a long-term love affair going with the SWR Super Redhead. I can't speak to all the other combos mentioned on this thread. I only know that since I played through a Redhead several years ago I've wanted one and wouldn't be afraid to replace my full rig (Mesa/Boogie 400+, Bag End 4x10, Eden 1x15) with it, though I think I'd want to keep one of the cabs, or get a smaller extension cab of one kind or another.
