Modern Metal Practice Amp

[xixor]

After checking that stuff out, it does seem to be a great home recording/practicing system. Unfortunately, it's also very pricey.
I will most likely get a spyderII 30 watt combo for now, and slowly build a up a system like that. That way I can play now as well.

Thanks to everyone that has thrown their 2 cents in. Ultimately, the home studio will get there, it's just gonna take a bit of time.

Yeah.. it gets a bit much, but you can find almost all of those things on craigslist for pretty cheap, and you can hold off on buying things that aren't necessary (like the mixer for example and nice speakers).

However, if your looking for a good practice amp for cheap, I would highly highly recommend the Marshall MG10CD (http://www.zzounds.com/item--MSHMG10CD). I have two of them: they are that good.

** Awesome** little amp. For its size, its pretty loud and actually sounds good! The dirty channel sounds alright at reasonable volumes, and sounds awesome with a GT-6 or Line 6 Pod.

If your aim is to have a practice amp, I would say, why bother going with anything in the medium size range. Go as small, cheap and as portable as you can. Medium amps are too small for playing with drums, and end up being a little on the loud side for practicing, especially if you live in a shared house or apartment. They are also more expensive and end up just taking up room. Get one of these little suckers for as cheap as you can, then save up the money for a real amp rather than spending $200-$300 on a practice amp.

good luck,

yeah you can usually get the pod for about 125 on ebay and a decent speakers for your computer for about 50.

Perfect timing! Prices just dropped on the whole Spider II line. The 30 is $159 (the old price of the 15) and the 15 is $119! I wonder if this means a replacement for the Spider II is coming?

actualy i would go for a used Line 6 Flextone II, alot easier then the AX's.

Roland Cube 30 has more balls than you'll ever need in any bedroom, unless you're the King of France and your bedroom is the size of SAM ash and Guitar Center put together. It fukkin' wails.

I would try the Roland Cube and Syper II..for a "practice" amp..

I hear NOTHING but good thing about both..and go from there..

You prolly can get that Spyder II 30 for 150 out the door if you ask nicely..I paid 200 out the door when they just came out..for my boy..and me.
