Members ejkennedy Posted February 22, 2009 Members Share Posted February 22, 2009 Then again I did say a $300 amp will probably make him REAL happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members chadd Posted February 22, 2009 Members Share Posted February 22, 2009 I guess these days $1000 is a 'ton' of money. But why spend $300 here, $400 there, then $600 over this way? Do it right the first time and even if you find your looking for something else change course then. It's a matter of giving applicable advice. Someone looking to upgrade from that amp and giving that specific price range is not in the market for a $1000 combo or head. Nothing wrong with suggesting outstanding options that cost slightly more but more than triple the original budget? That's just being a gear snob. I love my high end gear as much as the next guy, but you should understand where the original poster is coming from and advise accordingly. /end rant & hijack, please return to your originally scheduled topic.

This is why I think he'll be REALLY happy with a $300 amp..... for the 3rd time.And I love the quote in your sig. Internet just makes us feel much more powerful than we really are. I feel mighty how 'bout you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Toadroller Posted February 22, 2009 Members Share Posted February 22, 2009 Consider a decent cab before replacing the amp. $300 at Avatar can get you a 2x12 configured almost anyway you want it. A good cab and a multi-fx pedal/modeler can make the amplification simply that- amplification of a surprisingly good modeled sound into a good cab. A cheap 15 SS amp's main problem is its speakers. Bypass them to a good cab and you'll be surprised. I'll go for a few months guit into Peavey VK100 tube amp into my Avatar cab, and then for a few months guit into Digitech GNX-3000 multi-fx/modeler into generic ss amp (a stereo DJ/PA amp) into the Avatar cab. Both home and playing with friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members chiro972 Posted February 22, 2009 Members Share Posted February 22, 2009 If you can't spend more than $300 get a Fender Super Champ XD. Amazing sounding amp. Won't cut it for gigging unless you can mic it and go through a PA. If you really see a need for gigging power, save your money and wait until you can afford something like a Hot Rod Deluxe or a DRRI. If it is just to get better sounds for practice and maybe recording, you can't do better in that price range in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
