Whats the best bedroom practice amp available?

[Matt300ZXT]

I need a decent little digital practice amp. My Vypyr 15 is dying, even the high gain channels that used to be so mean, raw, piercing with gain sound like I'm playing on a lightly overdrive bassman or something when chugging on the low e. It's dying and just sounds like crap and is VERY uninspiring and frustrating to play and there is absolutely zero sustain. I want something with multiple models for different sounds and some fun built in effects so I can at least halfway sound like my heroes when I can't crank my Plexi halfstack. A friend recommended the Spark amp and I've seen some good reviews of that Yamaha th10c or whatever its called....the little cream colored one they've had for a few years. I'm looking tonstay sub $350 if I can. I would just get an interface and jam through garage band amp models or something on my old Mac through my monitors but it'd be more convenient if I had a dedicated amp that I could play without turning the computer on, but could also double as an interface for some basic recording.

Not sure what is the best but for that situation I would get a Boss Katana.

Those little Boss cube things are ok, and have a USB out.

I used to really like jamming through my EVH LBX and an Orange PPC112 with a Greenback.

The Yamaha THR is great. I've used it for that last 2 years at home. If you want a more traditional head/cab setup the mini Soldano sounds killer to me. That with a delay pedal and my Mesa 112 is all I need for a home rig.

I have a Spark 40. I use an app on my phone to download different rigs to it. this is my GOTO practice amp. tons of features and sounds good for a practice amp

I'd get the Boss Katana 50.. as a matter of fact, I think I am going to get it myself.

 

[JackBootedThug]

katana or spark imo...

 

[JackBootedThug]

I have a vyper my brother gave me and I just don't like it. It's great for what it is but...I dunno....I gave it to a bud. spread the love and all that....shit.

Another vote for Katana here... great practice amp. I want to check out those Waza Air headphones sometime.

 

[Searay]

Yamaha THR10X The old green ones.

 

[Devin]

For me, Yamaha THR10 series


I'd go a step further and say my THR10X is one of my favorite amps in general, practice amp or not

 

[Techdeth]

I actually use my Engl Powerball . It sounds a really good at quiet levels . Some big amps can actually . Just depends on the head

 

[8len8]

Any tube amp with an attenuator.

 

[romanianreaper]

I'm going to eventually get a Katana and I have a 5150-III. Great, light, backup amp for me. Those things sound great.

Randall RD1 through a 4x12 with old g12-75s, it rules!

Triple Rectifier LOL I just had to say it. Seriously, I know it's over your budget, but I would look into getting a used Ax FX FM3. Pair that up with your monitors and you should be good to go.
