I recently bought a Music Man Silhouette HSH with piezo, Alder body and Maple neck. I was thinking about change my amp for the need to maximizing the potential of the Silhouette with its character.
Can someone please recommend me what amp should i buy for a home use only, not for studio or concert use, pretend that the budget is not an issue.
I dont care if its valve amp or not as long as it brings the best out of my guitar.
Thanks :D

I played mine into a Blues Jr. at home. I set it clean, bedroom level, and put a few pedals in front of it (a distortion and a delay basically). Though I will admit budget WAS an issue when I was choosing amps. There are probably better choices.

Also for the Piezo, If you have an A/B box. The best way my Loaded JP6 sounded was through
a Fender Acoustasonic SFX11, Split into a Tweed 4x10 Bassman. It was as close to Tonal Heaven
I would ever get to.

Home use ? - try out the Yamaha THR 10. I tried one and am really impressed. Apparently it sounds great with acoustic guitars so I'm guessing that the Piezo would sound great through it too?

Vox Lil’ Night Train and 1x10 Celestion speaker cab.
They come packaged together for around $330 US.
Nice cleans and growl and takes pedals well. Its a closed back cab so 2 watts is surprising loud!

Even for home use I think it's important to split the mags from the piezo.

actually, a microcube has mag and piezo inputs and sounds great at practice levels. AND still has one input leftover for a MP3 player. I know it's cheap, but it works and sounds great. Batteries too.
