What is your practice amp...

[SGMan88]

What is your practice amp...a small one for late night jammin, etc.

 

[SGMan88]

I use a Marshall 15 watt just to mess around with at night when I can't be too loud

 

[OrangeChannel]

What's your real amp?

 

[SGMan88]

What do you mean what is my "real amp?"

 

[OrangeChannel]

well....surely if you have a practice amp, you most likely have an amp that you use on the ol' stage....right?

 

[SGMan88]

Oh,I see what you're sayin'...I use a Marshall AVT 100. I don't play HUGE shows so no real need for 1/2 or full stack.

I use a Tech 21 Trademark 10. It has a huge sound for such a small amp. It can also be run direct out to the sound board for recording. This feature also makes it valuable if your primary amp ever takes a crap. I use mine when we gig for a good clean sounding amp. I can't recommend this amp enough.

 

[OrangeChannel]

You don't need a huge amp to play shows, to be honest some of the smallest amps sound best. I'm in the process of getting rid of a half stack setup and adding a 2x12 combo. That way if I need the extra speakers, then I can add them via a 2x12 extension cab.

 

[SGMan88]

Thats true...

i use a fender hot rod deluxe

For practice i use it only clean and with no reverb...
i think it's good for small gig too, good cleans and good distortions with a pedal before.:!!!!!!!

For Practice....Line 6 Spider. I get decent effects without breaking out the pedal board and extra chords. Nice a small with programmable channels (4 of them). It even has an "insane" distortion....yeah!!

For real....Marshall DSL 100w with a 1960 lead slant cab. It gets "nut shakin'" loud. Just the way I like it.

For me if the baby is sleeping I play through a Boss 864 using old computer speakers....yep thats right....I have some old Altec PC speakers that plug right in and with the little sub woofer it doesn't sound all that bad. For really late night playing I'll use the headphones. My main amp is a Dr.Z Mazerati head through a Boogie 1-12 cab. Don't like the cab so I hope to soon procure a 2-10 Z cab.

Tech 21 Trademark 10 for the same reasons as nobozos has stated above. I don't need headphones to get a decent Marshall or Fender sound at low volume. I just wish that I could get a good Mesa Rectified sound out of it.

 

[ex3.8]

Peavey Prowler with Mesa 1 x12" extension cab.

 

[Warg Master]

My rig is my practice amp.


Peavey TubeFex - Peavey Classic 50/50 - Peavey 4X12 cab

Sounds great at low volumes ( not even on the 1 mark) I crank to 3 and I'm deaf.

5 would be perfect for shows

I just bought a roland microcube amp. 6 amp models to select from including a great jazz chorus sound.

Runs on batteries or plug. Weighs like 6 lbs. has delay, reverb, chorus. About $130.

Hey, btw...Steve Morse suggests practicing mostly without an amp (which I've been doing) as a way of making improvement leaps (which I hope to).

It really makes you focus on what you're doing.

 

[BIG GINGER GIT]

This is my only amp, Mesa Boogie DC5

 

[kbaim]
