Your amp helps shape the character, response, and feel of your sound, nothing accomplishes this better than tubes. The Overdrive sound we all like, this is a handwired 18 watt all tube 1x12 celestion and a Gibson Les Paul Custom.

It comes down to what you like for sound and tone. I'll agree also with the small amps that pack a punch, but the stacks are impressive.

Plus, they are much easier to haul around. If you can get past the ego thing, a small amp is much more practical.]]> Live Sound Wes Inman https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/ahh-i-need-amp-help/#post-49004 https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/ahh-i-need-amp-help/#post-49003 Fri, 20 Feb 2004 12:23:58 +0000
The Blues Junior sounds a good choice.]]> Live Sound greybeard https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/ahh-i-need-amp-help/#post-49003 https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/ahh-i-need-amp-help/#post-49002 Fri, 20 Feb 2004 04:35:20 +0000
I always go by ratings and reviews on the music gear sites. The Peavey Studio and Peavey Bandit have excellent ratings.

For $50 more than the Studio, you can get the Fender Blues Junior. The footswitch is $20 extra. Real tube amp, and it gets great reviews. We are talking blues now.

I love tube amps like Joe Forrock Star, what can I say.]]> Live Sound Wes Inman https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/ahh-i-need-amp-help/#post-49002 https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/ahh-i-need-amp-help/#post-49001 Fri, 20 Feb 2004 03:18:48 +0000 ~PauL~]]> Live Sound Anonymous https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/ahh-i-need-amp-help/#post-49001 https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/ahh-i-need-amp-help/#post-49000 Fri, 20 Feb 2004 03:04:13 +0000
