I've never had a problem with a 2x12 combo.

My evh 50 watt, both head and combo, barely get over 11 o'clock (4) and we have a very loud drummer with a great kit.

Also boost your mids a bit to help cut through.

You'll probably be fine with pretty much any 2x12 combo, particularly if it angle it up or put it on a chair or something.

I like to put a maxon 808 in front of everything. It's pretty much mandatory.

So I've been shopping around and have one other question for you all....

What about a 1x12?

I found a good deal on an 80w 112 and kind of want to get it.

Make and model?? Tube or solid state amp?

80 watt solid state is probably not going to be loud enough.

Was looking at the Peavey Bandit silver stripe. Transtube.

My friend had an old bandit and was a different model but sounded pretty decent for what it was.

Just worried about volume.

Transtube is what? Tube preamp and solid state power? Probably not going to be loud enough.

I've used Peavey Bandit's and they are plenty loud for band use and have very prominent midrange so they cut really well too. Not all SS amps lack headroom and cutting power... a lot of the cheaper ones do, but it's not the case with the better made amps that are made for serious musicians. Some of them are just as loud as equally rated tube amps, especially the 1980's and early 90's Randall's and Ampeg heads. I remember when I had my Mesa Mark III, and when I jammed with my band I would loan the other guitarist one of my Randall RG100ES heads, and that thing through a Mesa rectifier cab is a really loud amp... It would be at like 3 or even a bit under that at practice, and I would have to have my Boogie up around 4 or louder to be at an equal volume, and that Mark III was no wimpy amp, it had serious guts to it as well.

Color me surprised. I remember way back when seeing 300 watt solid state heads that were barely loud enough to hang with 100 watt tube amps and I guess I've held onto that misconception for the last 30 years. Thanks for the education.

some good replies in here.

Still up in the air. Do not really have an urgent need but would just like something cheap yet cool to play through.

Considering just getting a cheap power amp and shitty can and calling it a day since I have the Bias app.
