Hey guys and gals.
I don't have a lot of money and I"m trying to get my main sound as a Plexi like tone
that I can get from a 1 x 12 or 2 x 12 under say 700 bucks in the 15 to 50 watt range.
I want something that has an effects loop, and that will take a boost pedal if needed good.
I like the british el84 tube power amp stuff, etc,. Any suggestions? Combos would be great
and especially a tube or "sounds close enough" solid state 1 x 12 preferably, or 2 x 12 if the price
is right.
Here is what I'm considering.
Diavlo by Randall in the 20 watt head or the 55 watt or whatever it is.
Peavey Valveking 20 watts combo or head.
Bugera 1 x 12 tube amp. 30 watts I think it is and has two (count'm efx loops) EL84s, etc,. etc,.
Blackstar 1 x 12 20 watt tube amp.
Then if I can't find one of those I like, then I'm still considering the ole
Eleven rack going into a powered PA speaker which I can buy cheap at work. it's a Carvin Made in the USA (Not that it matters maybe) but is like 350 watts and is a 12" speaker, etc,. etc,..
OR
Tech 21 Fly Rig with a Wah and going into again the PA speaker, but the guy at Tech 21 said I might need something that is +4db going into the PA Speaker? Why? How do you tell? He said I can buy something, but I don't really want to do that. So, I thought if I get the fly rig why not get the SS power amp by Tech 21 too and just make it a system as you can daisy chain them and use them in Stereo, etc,.
I'll only be playing at home and very small parties, gigs outdoors this summer and small gigs indoors such as at the VFW, etc,.
Thanks . You guys rock! Great forum. Learn so much.
