What's a good small amp?

[Colin]

7 ive paid for this year! i

does that mean you have to buy 7 amps next year?

[robelinda2]

7 amps may be pushing it, in the 12 years ive been playing guitar I've averaged a new amp every 4 years. would like a smaller amp for home though....

how about the world's smallest production tube amp, the Nano Head by Z.Vex Amps. its one half watt of power which you can even plug into a 4x12.

HOW COOL IS THAT!!

Those are cool, but DAMN it's $460!!!!

What about an Ep1phone valve jnr?

I've heard some pretty good reports on that considering the price.

Plus, I think the latest versions have resolved some of the known tonal issues (or get one of the mods of the interweb).

a new amp amp every 4 years? That money could reduce your mortgage....

[robelinda2]

Hey man don't forget about the Roland Micro Cube, everybody swears by them.

They have a limited edition red one, kind of cool looking.

Hope this also helps, Glenn |B)

+1 what a great product for what it is.

I just picked up a Mahaffay Little Lanelai 3350LT. Its really cool. It's got a 6" speaker. The whole thing is 8x8x7 and sounds awesome!

I use a Fender Prinston Reverb 65 reissue and I am digging the amp... 15W and a single 8 inch speaker... you do have to break it in a bit when you get it but it nails the early Zeppelin Sound with the Axis (Jimmy used one on Zep 1 & 2 with a Tele) and it does the warm Floyd sound very good as well (when you have single coils). However, you can't really throw a distortion pedal in front of it so it won't do Metal... but a killer little tube amp... especially with the tube break up with the volume at 6 or 7... I was surprised. I also love the Bad Cat Amps... just a little to much $$$$ at the moment.

Marshall Class5 or a Fender Blues Jr. might do the trick.

The Blackstar HT5 is great, 5 watt valve in either a combo or head.

The Blackstar HT5 is great, 5 watt valve in either a combo or head.

I have to second this... I have the combo and it just sounds great. Its also very loud. I have used it in a few pit orchestra situations (mic'd once and direct out once... Also did it once unmic'd in a local high school auditorium that I was hired to play for).

But anyway, by far the best "home" amp I have ever used.
