Need Amps recommendations

[Haimkras]

Hi,

I need some amps recommendations for my new baby(Charvel 650xl).

My badget for this is about 400-500$ and i want a new Amp.
What do you guys recommend?

Thanks!

Are you playing in your bedroom, or attempting to decimate the hearing of your neighbors?

My house.i think 30w would be fine.

I have a Laney LC30 II combo amp...it's 30 watts (though it can sound like 50 watts), 1 x 12, all tube, has great tone and distortion (even without a D. pedal)

The LC30 combos are good for rock/metal, or whatever else. Of course Laney makes other combos that are not as well suited for rock/metal...whatever your preference.

Anyway, I love this combo so much that I bought a Laney cab and a vintage Laney AOR 100 watt head....yes I play it in my living room....but thay do make earplugs for a reason. Not close to neighbors either I think Laneys are the most underrated British amp. Everybit as good as Marshall.

I would say, going by your previous post, the 650xl being your first guitar, now your first amp... run down to your nearest music store and try out one of the Line 6 spider or Flextone combo amps. New, they start around $200, and go up from there. You may find one used for far less. They are versatile, and have a shit-ton of sounds to play with. With the money you save, get your guitar set-up properly, and have FUN!

Crate V32.

All tube, class A, two channel with reverb.

Best value out there.

My honest opinion; a 30w all tube amp is too much amp for what you want to do, and unless you have an attenuator you wont get all the benefits of a tube amp at bedroom / practice levels.

My advice;
Go with the VOX AD30VT. Around $250, plenty loud, lots of different tones, easy to use, and more amp than you'll use for a while. Its got a built-in power adjustment that lets you set the amp between 1w and 30w, so you can get cranked tube like-tone at bedroom levels, or go loud enough to piss off the neighbors IF you want to.

.....
Maybe I sound like a VOX commercial, and I honestly dont care. I swear by my VOX amps.

Maybe a Digitech GNX4. I used to have one and it didn't sound near as fizzy as my older processors and SS amps. It has built in midi drums, an onboard 4 track, recording software and about any effect you could imagine. It sounds like crap through a traditional amp though. Sounds good through a PA, powered monitors or headphones though. Heck i even plugged PC speakers into the headphone jack and it sounded ok.

Badget? Badget? We don't need no stinking badget!

I think the above recommendation of the Line 6 Spider series is a good choice. I have a VOX AD30VT as a practice amp and I don't really like it too much. I really want to though...

If you wanted to go the tube route, I absolutely love the Peavey Classic series. A Classic 30 and a few pedals would be within your budget.

Along these lines, the Laney AOR 30 1x12. It's a combo, but with a sealed cab. A bit heavy. You get a Marshall-esque front end with a sweet 6V6 back end (Class AB push pull).

Peavy Valveking combo?

Line 6 Spyder or Roland Cube 30
